Booting the JANUS 2050

You can perform a cold boot or warm boot on the JANUS 2050.

Performing a Cold Boot

A cold boot invokes the BIOS boot sequence, the bootstrap verifies that the
256K system flash is not corrupt, clears all memory, and does a complete
power-on-self-test (POST) to ensure that the hardware and peripherals are
operational.
It also initializes the system hardware for subsequent use by the system
software, loads the configuration file JANUS.INI if present (otherwise, it loads
the default configuration), runs AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS, and
brings up DOS. Drive E is initialized on a cold boot and all files on the drive are
lost. To performs a cold boot, select Reboot from the Boot Loader menu. The
Boot Loader menu is described later in this chapter.

Performing a Warm Boot

A warm boot goes through POST, and runs CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT, and then goes to the DOS prompt. Memory remains intact
on a warm boot. You initiate a warm boot when you press c a f . .
Caution
Do not press any keys while the JANUS 2050 is performing a warm boot or
you may lose data.
