Chapter 7. Selecting a setup utility

You need to configure the Network Station hardware for the server that it will
be interfacing with on the network. Three configuration options appear on the
Change Firmware Support

menu during the initial startup of the Network

Station hardware:

v

BIOS for WorkSpace On Demand.

v

NS Boot for Network Station Manager.

v

Automatic selection.

The Change Firmware Support menu only appears during the initial startup
of the Network Station hardware, or after you have after you have reset the
Network Station firmware configuration (see “Changing firmware
configurations” on page 41).

The configuration option that you select determines the setup utility that you
will use to configure the Network Station. When you allow the Automatic
selection

to be made, the Network Station hardware will attempt to

communicate across the network in order to distinguish which setup utility to
use. The BIOS and NS Boot setup utilities interact with the Network Station
hardware differently during the startup sequence, and when reporting
hardware problems and configuration errors.

v

Refer to “Part 4. Resolving problems with hardware that is configured for
IBM Network Station Manager” on page 65 for problem resolution when
using the NS Boot for Network Station Manager configuration option.

v

Refer to “Part 5. Resolving problems with hardware that is configured for
WorkSpace On-Demand” on page 89 for problem resolution when using the
BIOS for WorkSpace On Demand

configuration option.

Selecting the NS Boot for Network Station Manager configuration

When you select the NS Boot for Network Station Manager option, the
Network Station becomes configured for IBM Network Station Manager. IBM
Network Station Manager is an operating system that can manage Network
Station hardware, when installed on a network server. The NS Boot utility
becomes the primary interface with the Network Station firmware once you
have NS Boot for Network Station Manager.

When you select the NS Boot for Network Station Manager option, you can
change the language setting of the utility. The NS Boot Main Menu displays
after you select a language setting.
