Boot Sequence

Boot Sequence allows you to bypass the system setup‐defined boot device order and boot directly to a specific device—for example, optical drive or hard drive. During the Power-on Self Test (POST), you can:

Access System Setup by pressing F2
Bring up the one-time boot menu by pressing F12
