Hardware Maintenance Manual: Netfinity 7600 – Type 8665 Models 1RY, 2RY
Select this choice to view or change the start options. This choice appears only on
the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. Start options take effect when
you start the server.
You can select keyboard operating characteristics, such as the keyboard speed.
You also can specify whether the keyboard number lock starts on or off. You also
can enable the server to run without a diskette drive, monitor, or keyboard.
The server uses a startup sequence to determine the device from which the
operating system loads. For example, you can define a startup sequence that
checks for a startable diskette in the diskette drive, then checks the hard disk
drive in bay 1, and then checks a network adapter.
You also can select which PCI SCSI adapter is given boot precedence. The first
drive that is attached to the selected adapter will be assigned drive number 80L
and the operating system will start from that drive. The default for boot
precedence is Disabled. The range of choices depends upon the number of PCI
SCSI adapters installed in the server.
You can enable a virus-detection test that checks for changes in the master boot
record at startup. You also can choose to run POST in the enhanced mode or the
quick mode.

Advanced Setup
Select this choice to change values for advanced hardware features, such as cache
control, and PCI configuration. This choice appears only on the full
Configuration/Setup Utility main menu.
A warning message appears above the choices on this menu to alert you that the
system might malfunction if these options are configured incorrectly. Follow the
instructions on the screen carefully.
— Processor Serial Number Access
Select this choice to identify if the microprocessor serial number in the
microprocessor is readable.
— Core Chipset Control
Select this choice to modify settings that control features of the core chip set.
Attention:
Changes here must only be made by an IBM authorized service
representative.
— Cache Control
Select this choice to enable or disable the microprocessor cache. In addition,
you can define the microprocessor cache type as write-back (WB) or write-
through (WT). Selecting write-back mode will provide the maximum system
performance.
— PCI Slot/Device Information
Select this choice to view and identify system resources used by PCI devices.
PCI devices automatically communicate with the server configuration
information. This usually results in automatic configuration of a PCI device.
