Start options - (NF 8500R - Type 8681)


Start options: Start options take effect when you start the server.

You can select keyboard operating characteristics, such as the keyboard speed.
You also can specify whether the keyboard number lock starts on or off.
You also can enable the server to run without a diskette drive or a monitor.

The server uses a startup sequence to determine the device from which the operating system loads.
For example, you can define a startup sequence that checks for a startable diskette in the diskette drive, then checks the hard disk drive in bay 1, and then checks a network adapter.

  -Attention- If the CD-ROM drive contains a startable CD, you must remove the CD if you want to use a startup sequence that begins with a startable diskette.


You can enable a virus-detection test that checks for changes in the master boot record at startup.
You also can choose to run POST in the enhanced mode or the quick mode.

Select Start Options; then, use the Left Arrow (<) or Right Arrow (>) key to advance through each data field.

The Start Options choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu.


Advanced setup: Select Advanced Setup to change values for advanced hardware features, such as cache control, PCI configuration, and processor serial number access.

A warning message displays above the choices on this menu, to alert you that the system might malfunction if these options are configured incorrectly.
Follow the instructions on the screen carefully.

Use the Left Arrow (<) or Right Arrow (>) key to scroll through each data field after you select one of the setup options.
