Boot device selector switch

The boot device selector switch setting determines the device access order of the
multibay drives in the server. The default setting for the boot device selector
switch is FLP TOP.

When the boot device selector switch is set to FLP TOP, the optical drive in the
bottom bay is designated as the primary optical drive. The diskette drive in the
top bay is bootable. The server cannot boot from a diskette drive in the bottom
bay when the boot device selector switch is set to FLP TOP.

When the boot device selector switch is set to FLP BOT, the optical drive in the
top bay is designated as the primary optical drive. The diskette drive in the
bottom bay is bootable. The server cannot boot from a diskette drive in the top
bay when the boot device selector switch is set to FLP BOT.

NOTE: If two optical drives are installed in the server, the server

will first attempt to boot from the primary optical drive. The boot device
selector switch setting determines which drive is the primary optical
drive.
