Boot Console User Interface Features

There are times when you want to interact directly with the hardware of your 
single board computer before it boots the operating system. Your 745 sys-
tem provides a menu-driven boot console interface that allows you to per-
form special tasks, display information, and set certain system parameters, 
even if the operating system is unavailable.

Here are some of the things you can do:

•

Boot your workstation

•

Search for bootable media

•

Reset your workstation

•

Display and set boot paths

•

Display and set your monitor type

•

Display memory configuration information

•

Display the status of the EISA slots

•

Set Auto Boot and Auto Search

•

Set Fastboot

•

Display LAN information

•
