In the table above, "Slot #" is the slot number as seen on the back of your worksta-
tion; "Slot State" is the current state of any card in each slot; and "Device Informa-
tion" is the compressed EISA ID, read from the EISA card itself.

Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags

auto boot and auto search are variables stored in your workstation's non-volatile
memory. (Non-volatile memory retains its contents even after power is turned off.) If
you reset these flags to new value, the change takes effect the next time you reboot
the workstation.
To examine the state of the auto boot and auto search flags, type the following at
the prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > auto
If auto boot is set to on, your workstation automatically attempts to boot the operat-
ing system when turned on. If auto boot is set to off, your workstation enters the
boot administration mode of the boot console user interface.
The state of the auto search flag determines how your workstation seeks a boot de-
vice during autoboot. If auto search is set to on, your workstation will search for
other boot devices if the primary boot device is not available. If auto search is off,
your workstation will default to the boot administration mode if it can't see the pri-
mary boot device.
To change the state of the auto boot or auto search flags, type the following at the
prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > auto boot
or
Configuration Menu: Enter command > auto search
where state is on or off.

Displaying and Setting Fastboot Mode

When fastboot is enabled (set to on), your workstation does a quick check of the
memory and skips I/O interface testing during its power-on self tests. This enables
your workstation to complete its boot process quicker. The default factory setting is
for fastboot to be enabled (on).
