Boot Sequence

example: optical drive or hard drive). During the Power-on Self Test (POST), when the Dell logo appears, you can:

The one-time boot menu displays the devices that you can boot from including the diagnostic option. The boot menu options
are:
● Removable Drive (if available)
● STXXXX Drive (if available)
NOTE: XXX denotes the SATA drive number.
● Optical Drive (if available)
● SATA Hard Drive (if available)
● Diagnostics
NOTE: Choosing Diagnostics, will display the diagnostics screen.
