Chapter3 Initial Configuration About the Software Configuration Register
Bit 12 and bit 11 in the configuration register determine the data transmission rate of the console
terminal. Table3-6 shows the bit settings for the four available rates. The factory-set default data
transmission rate is 9600.
Bit 13 determines the system response to a bootload failure. Setting bit 13 (the factory default) causes
the system to load operating software from bootflashmemory after five unsuccessful attempts to load a
bootfile from the Flash memory device in slot 0. Clearing bit 13 causes the server to continue attempting
to load a boot file from bootflash indefinitely.
Boot Field Values
The lowest four bits of the configuration register (bits 3, 2, 1, and 0) form the boot field. The order in
which the system looks for system bootstrap information depends on the boot field setting in the
configuration register.
