Boot Console Handler Features

There are times when you want to interact directly with the J6000 workstation before it boots the operating system. These workstations provide a menu-driven Boot Console Handler that allows you to perform special tasks, display information, and set certain system parameters, even if the operating system is unavailable.

Here are some of the things you can do:

•Boot the workstation

•Search for bootable media

•Reset the workstation

•Display and set boot paths

•Display and set the monitor type

•Display memory configuration information

•Display the status of the I/O slots

•Set Auto Boot, Auto Search, and Auto Start

•Display and set Security mode

•Set Fastboot

•Display LAN information

•Display system information

•Display PIM information

•Using Remote Power-On

•Setting the Fan Speed

NOTE All of the tasks in the Boot Console Handler should be performed by a system administrator with superuser (root) login permissions.
