Using Boot Sequence Selector

The Boot Sequence Selector allows the boot order to be changed without accessing the BIOS. To use the Boot Sequence Selector, perform the following steps:

1.Boot to DOS.

2.Enter bs <#>, bs.exe followed by a digit from 1 to 4, at the command prompt to select a boot sequence.

D:\BOOTSEQd>bs

*** Boot Sequence Selector Version 0.03 ***

Created by Rockwell Chuang 10/01/2005.1. Usage:

BS [ 1 2 3 4 ]

BS 1: [Floppy] => [HardDisk] => [CD-ROM] => [LAN]

BS 2: [HardDisk] => [CD-ROM] => [LAN] => [Floppy]

BS 3: [CD-ROM] => [HardDisk] => [LAN] => [Floppy]

BS 4: [LAN] => [Floppy] => [HardDisk] => [CD-ROM]

NOTE: NOTE:

Enter bs <2> at the command prompt to change the boot sequence to HDD CD ROM LAN Floppy.

Using DMITools

The DMI (Desktop Management Interface) Tool copies BIOS information to EEPROM. Used in the DMI pool for hardware management.

When the BIOS shows Verifying DMI pool data, it is checking that the table correlates with the hardware before sending it to the operating system (Windows, etc.).

To update the DMI Pool, perform the following:

1.Boot to DOS.

2.At the prompt, enter dmitools with one of the following arguments:

/r ==> Read dmi information from memory

/wm ==> Write Manufacturer Name to EEPROM (max. 16 characters) /wp ==> Write Product Name to EEPROM (max. 16 characters)
