IBM System x3550 M4 Type 7914: Installation and User's Guide
The startup sequence specifies the order in which the server checks devices to
find a boot record. The server starts from the first boot record that it finds. If the
server has Wake on LAN hardware and software and the operating system
supports Wake on LAN functions, you can specify a startup sequence for the
Wake on LAN functions. For example, you can define a startup sequence that
checks for a disc in the CD-RW/DVD drive, then checks the hard disk drive, and
then checks a network adapter.
This choice is on the full Setup utility menu only.
Select this choice to view, add, delete, or change the device boot priority, boot
from a file, select a one-time boot, or reset the boot order to the default setting.
Select this choice to enter the System Event Manager, where you can view the
error messages in the system event logs. You can use the arrow keys to move
between pages in the error log.
The system event logs contain all event and error messages that have been
generated during POST, by the systems-management interface handler, and by
the system service processor. Run the diagnostic programs to get more
information about error codes that occur. See the Problem Determination and
Service Guide on the IBM System x Documentation CD for instructions for
running the diagnostic programs.
Important: If the system-error LED on the front of the server is lit but there are
no other error indications, clear the IMM2 system-event log. Also, after you
complete a repair or correct an error, clear the IMM2 system-event log to turn off
the system-error LED on the front of the server.
