Disabling Diskette Boot or Diskette Write

To disable the factory settings (that is, to prevent boot from a diskette or
prevent save to a diskette), follow these steps:
1. Turn on the workstation.
2. When you see the words "F10=Setup" in the bottom-right corner of the
screen, press F10.
NOTE: You have approximately two seconds to press F10. If you do not press
F10 during this time, you must turn the workstation off, then on again to
access the utility.
3. Press Enter to bypass the welcome screens and display the main menu.
4. From the main menu, select Computer Setup, then press Enter.
5. From the Computer Setup main menu, select Storage.
6. Under Removable Media, select the function you want to disable.
7. Save the configuration and exit the utility.
8. Restart the workstation.
NOTE: Compaq recommends that you establish a Setup password to prevent
another user from entering the Computer Setup utility and changing any
settings.
IMPORTANT: If you disable the diskette drive, the FailSafe Boot Block ROM
will ignore the disabled component to accommodate a system ROM recovery
in the event a system ROM failure occurs.
