Make sure that there is no diskette in the server’s disk drive (Model CS/3100
only) and that the server cannot use a network boot source (an RBCS or
TFTP/FTP server).
If a diskette is in the disk drive, remove it. If the communications server is
configured to use a network boot source, disconnect it from the network, or
make sure that it is not listed in the boot database of an RBCS or TFTP/FTP
server. To determine whether the server is in the boot database of an RBCS
server, refer to the
Remote Boot and Configuration Services User’s Guide
.
