Disabling Diskette Boot or Diskette Write

IMPORTANT: If you disable the diskette drive, the FailSafe Boot Block ROM
will ignore the disabled component to accommodate a system ROM recovery
in the event a system ROM failure occurs.
To disable the factory settings (that is, to prevent boot from a diskette or
prevent save to a diskette), follow these steps:
1. Turn on the workstation.
2. When you see the words "F10=Setup" in the bottom-right corner of the
screen, press F10.
NOTE: You have approximately two seconds to press F10. If you do not press
F10 during this time, you must manually turn the workstation off, then on
again to access the utility.
3. From the main menu, select Storage, then select Removable Media.
4. Press the up/down arrow keys to select the function you want to
disable.
5. Press the left/right arrow keys to select Disable.
6. Save the configuration and exit the utility.
7. Restart the workstation.
NOTE: Compaq recommends that you establish a Setup Password to prevent
another person from entering the Computer Setup utility and changing any
settings.
