DIGITAL UNIX and OpenVMS are booted and firmware-based diagnostics are run
from the SRM console. Follow this procedure to switch from AlphaBIOS to SRM:
1. Select CMOS Setup and press Enter.
2. In the CMOS Setup screen press F6. The Advanced CMOS Setup screen is
displayed.
3. Select DIGITAL UNIX console (SRM) or OpenVMS console (SRM) and
press F10.
4. The CMOS Setup screen is displayed. Press F10 to save the change.
5. Reset the system.
Alternatively, you can press the Reset button, wait 5 seconds, and then press the Halt
button.
The method you choose depends on how you want the system to function on
subsequent resets:
If you make the selection in the Advanced CMOS Setup screen, the system will
stop in the SRM console whenever it is powered up, reset, or initialized until the
Windows NT operating system is again specified.
If you press the Reset button, followed by the Halt button, no system setup
information is changed, and AlphaBIOS will start the next time the system is
powered up, reset, or initialized.
To return to the AlphaBIOS console, issue the alphabios or nt command at the SRM
console prompt.
