Depending on the monitor/display type it may need some additional seconds until
you can see something on the screen.
4.4 Setup
When you want to enter the BIOS Setup, you have to press the keyboard ‘DEL’ key
at the right moment. Especially when using a slow starting monitor it might be too
late to wait for the CRT to show the message ‘Press DEL to enter Setup’. Better look
for the LED and press ‘DEL’ as soon as the LED goes from orange to green blinking.
When you are using add on cards with external BIOS, you can hit the DEL key while
their BIOS runs (i.e. SCSI BIOS device scan).
When you miss the right moment to press the DEL key, please use the reset button
on the front panel to restart the power up sequence or switch off the power supply
for a few seconds and restart it. With the current BIOS pressing the Ctrl-Alt-Del key
combination at this boot-moment will result in switching to the next bootable device
and try to boot from this. This feature cannot be disabled within Setup.
4.5 Hot Swap on CR9
The CR9 family supports full Hot Swap according to CPCI specification 2.1. This
includes all hardware functionality to detect other bus cards or devices to be
plugged in or removed while the system is running under power. Also the CR9 can
be hot plugged to a running system or be removed from it.
