Boot Options
Boot Sequence: [A: then C:]
Swap Floppies: [Normal]
Floppy Check: [Enabled]
SETUP prompt: [Enabled]
POST errors: [Enabled]
Figure 25. PC Server 320 Setup Program - Boot Options Menu
Boot Sequence:
Boot sequence allows the user to change the order the system
uses to search for a boot device.
Other values can be:
•
C: then A:, if the user wants to boot from the hard disk first
•
C: only, if the user does not allow a boot from a diskette
Swap Floppies:
This choice allows the floppy disk drives to be redirected.
Normal is the default. When Swapped is selected, drive A becomes drive B and
drive B becomes drive A.
Note
The option Swapped does not modify the boot sequence option. So if boot
sequence is set to A: then C: and Swap floppies to Swapped, the user will get
the following error message at IPL:
0632 Diskette Drive Error
Floppy Check:
When enabled, the floppy drives are queried at boot time to
verify the correct drive type. The machine boots faster when disabled.
Setup prompt:
When enabled, the following message appears:
Press <F2> to enter SETUP
If disabled, the prompt message is not displayed but the function is still
available.
POST errors:
When enabled, if an error occurs during power on self-tests
(POST) the system pauses and displays the following:
Press <F1> to continue or <F2> to enter SETUP
