In addition to using the F2 key to view or edit the system BIOS settings (see Verify BIOS Factory Default Settings), you can use the F8 key during the BIOS startup to specify a temporary boot device. This selected boot device is in effect only for the current system boot. The permanent boot device specified using the F2 key will be in effect after the system boots from the temporary boot device.
