You can select keyboard operating characteristics, such as the keyboard speed.
You also can specify whether the server starts with the keyboard number lock on
or off.
The server uses a startup sequence to determine the device from which the
operating system starts. For example, you can define a startup sequence that
checks for a startable diskette in the diskette drive, then checks the hard disk
drive in a drive bay, and then checks a network adapter.
You can enable a virus-warning test that checks for changes in the master boot
record at startup. You also can choose to run POST in the quick mode, and read
the microprocessor serial number.
