specific boot. Subsequent boots revert back to the sequence specified in Setup. If the chosen
device fails to load the operating system, the BIOS reverts to the previous boot sequence. The
<Esc> hot key is valid while the "Press <F2> key to enter Setup" message is displayed on the
screen. At the end of POST, if the <Esc> key was pressed, a pop-up boot menu is displayed. It
allows you to change the boot sequence, or to enter Setup and permanently change the sequence.
To override the boot sequence, do this:
1. Press the reset switch on the front panel to reboot the server—the CD can be in the drive or
not.
2. When POST displays this message:
Press <F2> to enter SETUP
3. Press <Esc> and wait for the following boot menu to display:
4. From the boot menu, select the CD-ROM drive, and press <Enter>.
5. When you see the following pop-up menu, press <Enter> to boot from the CD.
The server should now boot from the CD, displaying a menu bar that includes creating diskettes,
diagnostics, reading/printing the manual, and quitting to DOS.
CAUTION
If the server does not operate as described in this guide, contact a qualified
service technician.
