Disabling Diskette Boot or Diskette Write
IMPORTANT:
If you disable the diskette drive, the FailSafe Boot Block ROM
ignores the disabled component to accommodate a system ROM recovery in
the event a system ROM failure occurs.
To disable the factory settings (that is, to prevent boot from a diskette or prevent
save to a diskette), follow these steps:
1. Turn on or restart the workstation.
2. When you see the words “F10=Setup” in the bottom-right corner of the
screen, press the
F10 key.
NOTE
: If you do not press the
F10
key while the message is displayed, you
must turn off the workstation, then on again, to access the utility.
3. From the main menu, select Storage, then select Removable Media.
4. Press the up/down arrow keys to select the function that you want to
disable.
5. Press the left/right arrow keys to select Disable.
6. Save the configuration and exit the utility.
7. Restart the workstation.
