All motherboards have a boot menu...it might just be a different key than you're used to...either find the key in the manual or just mash the f keys during/after the post tests until it works. I'd try f2, f6, f8, f10 specifically. :)
Also, you could enter the bios and find the setting to display the boot menu key during post...since I'm guessing it's not currently turned on. Is this board used?

Also, F9 and F12.

Also, F9 and F12.LOL! Yeah, just mash 'em...you'll get it.

the del key was the default bios entry key for many years before the whole Fkey fad kicked up lol - although del on dell is kinda funny :p
