Using the Boot Menu program

Use the Boot Menu program to temporarily redefine the first startup device without changing settings in the Setup utility.

The Boot Menu program is a built-in, menu-driven configuration utility program that you can use to temporarily redefine the first startup device without changing settings in the Setup utility.

To use the Boot Menu program, complete the following steps:

  1. Turn off the server.
  2. Restart the server.
  3. When the prompt <F12> Select Boot Device is displayed, press F12 . If a bootable USB mass storage device is installed, a submenu item (USB Key/Disk) is displayed.
  4. Use the Up arrow and Down arrow keys to select an item from the Boot Selection Menu and press Enter.

The next time the server starts, it returns to the startup sequence that is set in the Setup utility.
