Setting the Selectable Drive-Startup Sequence (8650)



Setting the Selectable Drive-Startup Sequence

Selectable drive startup  (accessed from the Boot Options selection on the Main Menu screen) allows you to control the startup sequence of the drives in the server. Each time the server is powered-on, it checks the drives as it looks for the operating system. The order in which the system checks the drives is the drive-startup sequence.

The default drive-startup sequence first checks the primary diskette drive for a self-starting (bootable) diskette. If one is present, the operating system or program is loaded from the diskette. If not, the system then checks the primary hard disk drive for an operating system. If one is present, it loads the operating system from that hard disk drive.

If the system is started from a diskette, the drive that contains the diskette becomes drive A, regardless of the defined sequence, and the first hard disk drive that you select in the startup sequence becomes drive C.

To switch the startup sequence of the diskette drives, use the Floppy Options selection in the 'System Configuration Utility Program' Main Menu screen.
To change the startup sequence, do the following.
  1.  Start the 'System Configuration Utility Program'.
  2.  Select Change Configuration Settings.
  3.  Scroll through the settings and  locate the Boot Subsystem Group, then,  follow the instructions on the screen.
