Figure 25. PC Server 320 Setup Program - Boot Options Menu

Boot Sequence: Boot sequence allows the user to change the order the system uses to search for a boot device.

Other values can be:

C:then A:, if the user wants to boot from the hard disk first

C:only, if the user does not allow a boot from a diskette

Swap Floppies: This choice allows the floppy disk drives to be redirected. Normal is the default. When Swapped is selected, drive A becomes drive B and drive B becomes drive A.

Note

The option Swapped does not modify the boot sequence option. So if boot sequence is set to A: then C: and Swap floppies to Swapped, the user will get the following error message at IPL:

0632 Diskette Drive Error

Floppy Check: When enabled, the floppy drives are queried at boot time to verify the correct drive type. The machine boots faster when disabled.

Setup prompt: When enabled, the following message appears:

Press <F2> to enter SETUP

If disabled, the prompt message is not displayed but the function is still available.

POST errors: When enabled, if an error occurs during power on self-tests (POST) the system pauses and displays the following:

Press <F1> to continue or <F2> to enter SETUP
