The following sections describe the Startup menu options. If no selection is made
within 25 seconds (default), the switch times out and the device continues to load
normally.
Only technical support personnel can operate the Diagnostics Mode. For this
reason, the Enter Diagnostic Mode option of the Startup menu is not described in
this guide.
