This section is only for those units that do not have ATA Flash
capability. Because there is no ATA Flash in this model the boot
priority sequence is:

PXE
1. When the unit boots, the monitor should display the following

information there is no network connection. This may be
caused by a bad cable, the server is down, or a bad system
board. Contact the Call Center for service for the bad
system board.
