System Alert has the following settings:

Fault (the default) causes the system light-emitting diode (LED) to flash only when a critical error threshold has been passed.

Warning causes the system LED to flash as soon as a noncritical error threshold has been passed.

Keyboard Errors enables or disables reporting of keyboard errors during the power-on self-test (POST), which is a series of tests that the system performs on the hardware each time you turn on the system or press the reset button.

This option is useful when applied to self-starting servers or host systems that have no permanently attached keyboard. In these situations, selecting Do Not Report sup- presses all error messages relating to the keyboard or to the keyboard controller during POST. This option does not affect the operation of the keyboard itself if a keyboard is attached to the computer.

Boot Sequence can be set to Diskette First (the default) or to Hard Disk Only.

The term boot refers to the system’s start-up procedure. When turned on, the system “bootstraps” itself into an operational state by loading into memory a small program, which in turn loads the necessary operating system. Boot Sequence tells the system where to look for the files that it needs to load.

NOTE: If a bootable CD-ROM is in the CD-ROM drive, the system will boot from the CD-ROM, ignoring any value in Boot Sequence. If there is no bootable CD-ROM, Boot Sequence will control whether the system boots from a diskette or a hard-disk drive.

Selecting Diskette First causes the system to try booting from drive A first. If the system finds a diskette that is not bootable in the drive or finds a problem with the drive itself, it displays an error message. If it does not find a diskette in the drive, the system tries to boot from the CD-ROM, then from the hard-disk drive (drive 0), and finally from the Plug and Play network adapters.

Selecting Hard Disk Only causes the system to attempt to boot first from the hard-disk drive and then from the Plug and Play network adapters in the order found.
