Changing the Boot Priority of Internal Devices

the CD-ROM, the floppy drive (or other removable device), and hard drives
connected to the server's internal SCSI ports. To do this:
1. Use the right-arrow or left-arrow key to select Boot from the Setup menu.
As soon as you do this, the Boot screen appears.
2. Use the down-arrow key to move to the Boot Device Priority
field. Press Enter, and a list appears that looks something like this:

3. Hard Drive
In the list above "Removable Devices" refers to the server's floppy drive.
3. The above list shows the current boot priority of the server's internal mass
storage devices. To change the order, use the up- and down-arrow keys to
select one of the devices. Then use the plus (+) or minus (-) keys to move
the device up or down the list.
4. Use the right-arrow or left-arrow key to select the Exit menu. Choose
Exit and Save Changes from the list of exit options, then press
Enter. A dialog appears and asks you to confirm your decision. Choose
Yes and press Enter. The server then reboots.
