Enable F2 Prompt by Using SSU
Use the following steps to enable the F2 prompt.
1.Insert your SSU diskette in the diskette drive. This is the diskette that is created by copying the SSU software from EXPRESSBUILDER CD ROM that comes with the system.
2.Reboot the system by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del while at the DOS operating system prompt or by pressing the reset switch.
3.When the DOS Startup menu appears, select 1 or 2 to enter the SSU.
4.Select Step 3, “Change Configuration Settings.” If a password menu displays, enter a user or administrator password if either is enabled, or just press ESC to bypass this menu prompt.
5.Select System Board.
6.Page down until you reach the Boot Subsystem Group. It is toward the end of the groups.
7.Find and select the option that says, “Display ‘F2 for Setup’ Message during POST.”
8.Press Enter to display the option menu.
9.Select Enable and press Enter.
10.If you are finished editing the settings for the system board, press Esc. This takes you back to the main menu, Step 3.
11.Press Esc again to return to the main SSU menu.
12.Select Step 4, Save Configuration. Once you select this step, the changes are immediately saved into an INF file, a CMS file, and nonvolatile memory.
13.Press Esc to exit the SSU. You are prompted to reboot the system or simply exit to the command line prompt. You’ll need to reboot the system to let your changes take effect, but first remove the SSU diskette drive. Press F10 to reboot.
You should now see the F2 prompt displayed at bootup.
Enable F2 Prompt by Changing a Jumper and Using SSU
If you do not have an SSU diskette or CD available, you can clear CMOS memory to enable the F2 prompt. This means you must change a jumper on the system board, run the SSU, save your changes, and change the jumper back to the default setting.
