set the number of failed logins before the server cuts off access.
Select this choice to view or change the start options. This choice appears only
on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. Start options take effect
when you start your 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, monitor, or keyboard.
Start-Up Sequence Option
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. Wake on LAN
If you have the appropriate Wake on LAN software installed and enabled in the
server, the server uses the alternative startup sequence instead of the primary
startup sequence. The default for Wake on LAN is Disabled.
You can select the order in which the devices are started at the boot priority
option. The default setting is PCI Slots, which allocates memory in the following
order.
– Integrated Video Controller
– PXE Boot Agent Utility
– PCI Slot 1
– PCI Slot 2
– PCI Slot 3
– PCI Slot 4
– PCI Slot 5
– Integrated SCSI Controller
