Nick,

You should be able to do two things:

   - at boot, watch for the card BIOS message, enter into the BIOS and
     disable booting from it (you can enter it with Ctrl-A, Ctlr-S, F2
     - you might need to attach a drive to it to see the message)

   - in the computer's main BIOS, check for boot options - depending
     on the manufacturer they can be in different places and with
     different names: if you can send a URL to the board manual we
     should be able to point you to the right place
