Interfaces used for booting, such as SCSI or LAN may have multiple devices attached. If
you plan to consistently boot your system from a specific device, you should choose that
device as the Primary Path.
Paths in this menu define either the location of a bootable device (Primary or Alternate) or
the type of connector to be used for other devices (Console: video or RS-232, Keyboard:
PS/2 0 or 1, HIL.)
NOTE: HIL devices are obsolete and no longer shipped.
Only one Console or Keyboard path can be attached to an interface.
The bottom section of the menu allows you to:
Return to the previous menu
Reset the system
Primary or Alternate Path Menus
Selecting a device from this menu causes the system to search for devices in that path.
When they are found, they are displayed in a numbered list. From that list you can choose
the preferred boot device for the Primary and/or Alternate device.
The bottom section of the menu allows you to:
Return to the previous menu
Repeat the search for bootable devices (rescan)
Reset the system
Console Path Menu
Choosing this menu causes the system to interrogate the hardware then present a num-
bered list from which to choose the preferred Console connection. It may be a graphics
connection, an RS-232 connection or NO connection (Null device.)
