K2661 Boot Block
The Boot Block is a part of the K2661 software that lets you update the K2661 operating system
and objects from either a SCSI device or the SmartMedia drive. The Boot Block also provides
diagnostics options for service personnel and a reset option.
Note: Your K2661 comes from the factory with the operating system and ROM objects already installed.
You do not need to run the K2661 Boot Block to start up a new K2661.
