Page 71: Boot_Osflags
3.1.4 boot_osflags The boot_osflags environment variable sets the default boot flags and, for OpenVMS, a root number. Boot flags contain information used by the operating system to determine some aspects of a system bootstrap. Under normal circumstances, you can use the default boot flag settings. To change the boot flags for the current boot only, use the –flags option with the boot command.

Thermal Problems and Environmental Status Overtemperature conditions can cause the system to shut down. The AlphaServer TS15 system operates within an ambient temperature range of 5ºC to 40ºC (41°F to 104°F). An internal sensor monitors the system temperature and shuts down the system if maximum limits are exceeded.
