Thanks; I did see that page, however the SSD (as 80) _is_ the first entry that I have in my BootDrive parameter, and it normally works fine. What isn't clear from that page is why these systems were trying to DHCP boot in this case. I'm *guessing* that perhaps, for whatever reason, the SSD was taking longer to get into a "ready" state where the 5501 would recognise it, the 5501 timed out, and tried 81 and F0. However, I was hoping for some indication as to the accuracy of this guess (or insight into other factors). If that is indeed what was going on, it's also not clear to me what kind of timeout exists for each BootDrive slot, and what happens when the last of four slots is tried and failed? Does it cycle back to the first one or drop into the combios prompt?
