Re-enabling Diskette Boot or Diskette Write
The workstation ships with the Diskette Boot or Diskette Write features enabled. If a user has
disabled the factory settings that permit the workstation to boot from a diskette or to prohibit a
user from saving data to a diskette, you may need to re-enable the features in order to service the
workstation. To enable Diskette Boot or Diskette Write:
1.
Turn on the workstation.
2.
When you see the words “F10=Setup” in the bottom-right corner of the screen, press
F10.
NOTE
: You have approximately two seconds to press
F10
. If you do not press
F10
during this
time, you must turn the workstation off, then on again to access the utility.
3.
Select the desired language when prompted. Then press Enter to bypass the welcome
screens and display the main menu.
4.
From the main menu, select Computer Setup, then press Enter.
5.
Select the Security Management feature under the Built-In Devices button.
6.
Select Storage.
7.
Under Removable Media, select the function you want to enable.
8.
Save the configuration and exit the utility.
9.
Reboot the workstation.
NOTE
: The FailSafe Boot Block ROM has ultimate control over the hardware. User-invoked
security, i.e. a disabled feature such as Diskette Boot or Diskette Write, will be ignored to
accommodate a FLASH recovery.
