I have an older, more basic NUC running in legacy mode as my email server, however I think you have the newer AptioV bios. Check here, where you can see the two possible BIOS start pages: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000006028/intel-nuc.html Looking in the AptioV Glossary: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/intel-nuc/NUC-AptioV-BIOS-Glossary.pdf I think you need the investigate the 'Boot' tab first. -- Marjorie _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
