| bridge/router with a DPE module. |
|
| |
| The NETBuilder software boot files for a DPE module are factory shipped with | |||
| a:/101/boot.29k as the default primary boot source. If you have installed the | |||
| NETBuilder software flash memory card into drive A, and you want to keep the | |||
| default boot source, skip this chapter and refer to Chapter 6. | |||
| If you want to adjust system configuration settings, refer to the SysconF appendix in | |||
| Reference for NETBuilder Family Software for instructions on how to make the | |||
| changes. |

Using the Boot | The Boot Monitor utility Boot (BT) command allows you to reboot or to override the | |||
Command | default boot path. The BT command is useful if the boot path has a typing error or | |||
| if you have a malfunctioning drive. If you enter a new boot path, the Primary Boot | |||
| Source parameter is updated to reflect the new path. |

| command, follow these steps: |
|
| |
1 | Reset the system in one of two ways. Either press the two outer buttons on the | |||
| LCD control panel on the front of the NETBuilder chassis, or press the reset | |||
