Changing the Boot Sequence
It is sometimes necessary to change the server’s boot sequence. Follow the network
manual’s instructions to determine the correct boot sequence.
To change the boot sequence, proceed as follows:
1. Reboot the server and enter Setup.
2. Highlight the “
Boot
” menu.
If the CD-ROM drive is listed as the first boot device in the BIOS, the server
will boot from the CD-ROM drive. Otherwise, the server can be booted from
the diskette drive (drive A) or the hard drive (drive C). If the diskette drive
(drive A) then the hard drive (drive C) is selected, the server searches the
diskette drive (drive A) first to boot the operating system. When no diskette
is in the diskette drive (drive A), the server then tries to boot from the hard
drive (drive C).
3. Use the [
↑
] and [
↓
] arrows to locate the field you want to change. Then use
the [+] to raise the order and [-] to lower it.
4. Press [Esc] twice then [Enter] twice to exit the BIOS Setup utility and to
reboot the server so changes immediately take effect.
Following is a typical boot sequence:
•
CD-ROM
•
Diskette drive (drive A)
•
Hard drive (drive C)
