ROM Based Setup
This option is often used by educational facilities that have public access to their servers. Disabling this
option prevents unauthorized personnel from changing any server’s configuration parameters.
Parallel Port and Serial Ports
The server logically assigns LPTx and COMx names to:
♦ Parallel ports in the address order 378h and 278h.
♦ Serial ports in the address order 3F8h, 2F8h, 3E8h, and 2E8h.
This occurs during each boot process. For example, When disabling the serial port that is assigned to 3F8h
as COM1, during the next boot cycle the server reassigns the name COM1 to the next enabled serial port in
the sequence.
Server Boot Management
The server comes from the factory with options Boot From Diskette A and Boot From Hard C enabled.
This means that each time you turn on or reset the server it attempts to first boot from diskette A and then
from hard disk drive C.
When changing the server’s boot sequence, be aware of the following:
Boot From Diskette A
Boot From Hard Disk C
Comments

When a second diskette drive installed, you can choose which one to boot from using the
"Exchange Diskette Drives" setup option.
