Using the Configuration/Setup Utility
Defining the Start Options
Start options take effect when you start your 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 a hard disk drive in bank C.
You can enable your 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
operations, and to start the system programs from the Reference
Diskette in disketteless operations.
You can select the tests that your 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.
Advanced Setup
Select Advanced Setup to change values for advanced hardware
features such as cache control and ROM shadowing. A warning
message appears when you select this choice, to alert you that the
system might malfunction if these options are configured
incorrectly. Follow the instructions on the screen carefully.
