Using the Configuration/Setup Utility Program
Start Options
Start options take effect when you start your server.
Select Start Options; then, use the Up Arrow (
↑
) or Down Arrow
(
↓
) key to highlight the assignment that you want to change. Use
the Left Arrow (
←
) or Right Arrow (
→
) key to select from the list of
available choices.
You can select keyboard operating characteristics, such as the
keyboard speed. You can also specify whether the keyboard
number lock (NumLock) 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 loads. 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 the bays for a hard disk drive.
Select Startup Device on the Start Options menu. Then follow the
menu to set your startup sequence.
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 POST completes and the operating system has
loaded. This allows you to enter a password and update the
Configuration/Setup utility program in keyboardless operation.
You can select a test that your server runs at startup. For example,
you can select to run a virus detection test. You can also choose
whether to run the POST in enhanced or quick mode.
Advanced Setup
Select Advanced Setup to change values for advanced hardware
feature such as ROM shadowing. A warning message appears
when you select this choice, to alert you that the system might
malfunction if this option is configured incorrectly. Follow the
instructions on the screen carefully.
