The onboard ROM is the source of the BOOT process; this ROM is based on a copy of the full operating
system and is normally fixed for the lifetime of the product. With a console port connected, the BOOT
process resembles information contained in
Figure 4-1
.
Figure 4-1. BOOT Process Example
After initiating the boot process, the system temporarily halts for 20 seconds. The reason for pausing is to
provide the ability to configure the
DS2000-TS
if no runtime operating system has been loaded. In
particular, the pause provides an opportunity to set an initial IP address for downloading software and
establishing Telnet command sessions. If an operating system already exists, then pressing
<Esc>
before the
end of the 20-second pause will resume the boot process. If no key is pressed and 20 seconds elapses, the
system will boot automatically.
This completes the boot process and the screen will display the opening banner and login menu. The current
contents of the event log are the last part of the boot process and can be useful in diagnosing boot problems
in the unlikely event the system fails to boot.
