Defining the Start Options
Defining the Start Options
Start options take effect when you start the server.
You can select keyboard operating characteristics, such as
the keyboard speed. You can also specify whether the keyboard
number lock starts on or off.
The server uses a startup sequence to determine
the diskette drive, hard disk drive, or network adapter
from which the operating system will be loaded.
You can specify up to four devices in the
Startup Device
data fields. For example, you can define a startup sequence
that checks for
a startable diskette in the primary diskette drive,
then checks the hard disk drive in bay 1.
You can enable the server to run
without checking for the presence or state of a monitor, keyboard, or
diskette drive.
The devices are disabled after the power-on self test (POST)
completes and the operating system has loaded.
This allows you to enter a password
and update the Configuration/Setup utility program
in keyboardless operation, and to start the system programs from the
Reference Diskette in disketteless operation.
You can select the tests that the server runs at startup.
This includes the SureTest BIOS test tool and
a virus detection test. In addition,
you can also choose whether to run the power-on self test (POST)
in enhanced or quick mode.
Select Start Options, then use the Left Arrow (<)
and Right Arrow (>) keys to advance through each data field.
The Start Options choice appears only on
the full Configuration/Setup menu.
