A client has requested that a technician ensure their system will only initiate startup using the primary internal storage device where the OS is installed, excluding all removable media. In order to achieve this configuration within the system BIOS/UEFI, which adjustment should the technician make?
Alter a system setting that shortens the full POST process
Enable a security feature that verifies the signature of the boot loader
Configure the boot sequence to prioritize the primary storage
Modify an environmental variable at the operating system level to designate the start-up disk
The correct action is to select the system’s primary internal storage as the initial option in the boot sequence configuration. This setting modifies the order in which the firmware searches for bootable media and, as a result, causes the system to start from the predefined internal storage, typically holding the OS, rather than any removable peripherals that may be connected. The terms like 'Secure Boot' refer to security features that control the integrity of the bootloader and 'Fast Boot' refers to settings that can speed up the overall startup process, neither of which directly allow for exclusion or prioritization of specific hardware like internal or external storage devices when it comes to the boot sequence.
