Start Options Descriptions
Startup Sequence
Primary Startup Sequence
Automatic Power On
Startup Sequence
Error Startup Sequence
The Startup Sequence menu presents options to specify the
order in which the server searches devices for the operating
system files when you start up the server.
Primary Startup Sequence: Your server has a default primary
startup sequence. Use this option if you want to view or
change the sequence.
Automatic Power On Startup Sequence: Select Enabled for this
option if you want to use a different startup sequence when
your system is started using automatic power-on features.
Error Startup Sequence: Select Disabled for this option if you
want to automatically start the Configuration/Setup Utility
whenever a POST error occurs. Select another option if you
want the system to bypass the Configuration/Setup Utility and
use a different startup sequence when a POST error occurs.
You will still be able to access the Configuration/Setup Utility
using the F1 key or the POST error menu.
Keyboard NumLock State This option indicates whether or not the Num Lock feature on
the keyboard turns on automatically each time you start up the
server. When NumLock is set to On, the keys on the keypad
act as numeric keys. When NumLock is set to Off, the keys on
the keypad act as cursor keys.
Keyboard Speed This option indicates the speed at which your keyboard
responds when you hold down a key (typematic rate). The
Normal rate is 10 characters per second. The fast rate is 30
characters per second.
Disketteless Operation When this option is enabled, the server can start up and run
without a diskette drive.
Note: To disable diskette drive access, see the System Security
option on the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu.
