When a heading such as [Hard Disk] contains multiple devices, each device can be
promoted or demoted using the same keyboard commands used to promote or demote
a heading. The configuration below shows the [Hard Drive] heading expanded to list
individual devices.
[+Removable Devices]
[-Hard Drive]
ST360021A - (Typical 60G or 80G hard disk)
M-Systems DiskOnChip (c) - (An M-Systems Disk On Chip is installed)
Bootable Add-in Cards - (Not Installed)
[ATAPI CD-ROM Drive]
In this example, a hard disk as well as the M-Systems Disk On Chip (DOC) is
installed. The Eclipse is capable of booting from either of these devices, however the
BIOS checks the hard disk first because it is first in the list. The "Bootable Add-in
Card" field that appears in the list could apply to certain types of PCMCIA cards
which contain flash memory.
To boot from the DOC instead of the hard drive, promote it to the top of the list by
scrolling to the [M-Systems DiskOnChip (c)] field and pressing [Shift]-[+] once to
move it to the top of the list.
The Eclipse can boot directly from the DOC if you press the Micros Recovery Button,
located on the front panel, and restart the workstation. Pressing this button sets a
recovery bit in the CMOS RAM which is checked by the BIOS at each power up.
When the recovery bit is set, the BIOS ignores the default sequence and boots from
the Disk On Chip where some form of backup and recovery software resides. If a Disk
On Chip is not installed when the recovery button is pressed, the workstation will
attempt to boot from the LAN. More information about installing and configuring a
Disk On Chip can be found Chapter 3.
NOTE
In the example above, also note that the [MBA UNDI (Bus1
Slot0)] LAN Boot heading is missing because a Disk On Chip
is installed. To force the Eclipse to boot from the LAN, go to
the BIOS Utility Main page, and set the 'LAN Boot Function'
to 'Enabled', [F10], then [Enter] to save and reboot.
