Chapter 12. Startup Sequence Of Network Stations Configured For Workspace On-Demand - IBM 8364 E series User Manual

Chapter 12. Startup sequence of Network Stations
configured for WorkSpace On-Demand
This is a typical startup sequence of events for Network Station hardware that
you have configured from the basic input and output system (BIOS) setup
utility. This startup sequence assumes that you have already selected the BIOS
setup utility for the WorkSpace On-Demand operating system. If you have
selected the NS Boot for Network Station Manager configuration option for
your Network Station, refer to the "Chapter 10. Startup sequence of Network
Stations configured for the IBM Network Station Manager program" on
page 67. If you have not selected the Network Station firmware support yet,
see "Chapter 7. Selecting a setup utility" on page 39.
