Dell FX130: Firmware 

BIOS

On power-up F2 gets you into the BIOS setup screen. The BIOS is a standard Phoenix Award BIOS.

The options for boot devices are:

  • Hard Disk
  • CDROM
  • ZIP100
  • USB-FDD
  • USB-ZIP
  • USB-CDROM
  • Disabled

I set the first boot device to USB-ZIP and it happily booted Tiny Core Linux from a conventionally formatted pen drive.

When powering up F12 will bring up just a boot menu.

In the absence of any operating system, or if you set the boot devices to 'disabled', the FX130 will attempt to boot from the network.
