System Options
The System Options menu configures the basic input/output (I/O) of the server and
sets the operating system. The configuration options include the operating system, the
external ports, and the ability to control the diskette drive. The following is a list of
selections found on this menu with an explanation of each option:
•
OS Selection selects the primary operating system for the server. Default server
settings are automatically set based on the operating system selected.
•
Serial Number allows you to change the serial number, though HP does not
recommend changing it.
•
Embedded COM Port X sets the configuration for the internal serial port A or
B. The configuration options include the address and interrupt request (IRQ).
This option can also disable the port.
•
Integrated Diskette Controller enables or disables the diskette drive. When
disabled, Diskette Write Control, Diskette Boot Control, and IPL Boot Order
are irrelevant.
•
Embedded NIC Port 1 PXE Support enables the Pre-boot Execution
Environment (PXE) support for NIC Port 1. The Embedded NIC Port PXE
Support option allows the server to boot to the network and attach to a PXE
server with boot images. When enabled, the NIC port is displayed in the Initial
Program Loader (IPL) list.
•
Diskette Write Control allows you to configure the write control of the diskette
drive. It can be set to read and write or to read only.
•
Diskette Boot Control enables you to have the server boot from the removable
media device.
•
Embedded LPT Port allows you to enable the embedded LPT Port at the
specified resource settings or to disable the option.
•
NumLock Power-On State enables or disables the power-up state of the
NumLock key.
