Boot Sequence:

Boot sequence allows the user to change the order the system

uses to search for a boot device.

Other values can be:

•

C: then A:, if the user wants to boot from the hard disk first

•

C: only, if the user does not allow a boot from a diskette

Swap Floppies:

This choice allows the floppy disk drives to be redirected.

Normal is the default. When Swapped is selected, drive A becomes drive B and
drive B becomes drive A.

Note

The option Swapped does not modify the boot sequence option. So if boot
sequence is set to A: then C: and Swap floppies to Swapped, the user will get
the following error message at IPL:

0632

Diskette Drive Error

Floppy Check:

When enabled, the floppy drives are queried at boot time to

verify the correct drive type. The machine boots faster when disabled.

Setup prompt:

When enabled, the following message appears:

Press to enter SETUP

If disabled, the prompt message is not displayed but the function is still
available.

POST errors:

When enabled, if an error occurs during power on self-tests

(POST) the system pauses and displays the following:

Press to continue or to enter SETUP
