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 pro-
cess quicker. The default factory setting is for fastboot to be enabled
(on).
When fastboot is disabled (set to off), more extensive memory test-
ing and I/O interface testing is performed during the self tests, caus-
ing the boot process to take longer.
If you are experiencing difficulty in booting your workstation, set
fastboot to off and reboot the system. The more extensive testing
may reveal the error condition.
To display the status of fastboot, type the following at the prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > fastboot Enter
To disable fastboot, type the following at the prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > fastboot off Enter
To enable fastboot, type the following at the prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > fastboot on Enter
It is sometimes necessary to supply the LAN station address of your
workstation to other users. For example, if your workstation is to be-
come a member of a cluster, the cluster administrator needs to know
your LAN station address in order to add your workstation to the
cluster.
To display your workstation’s LAN station addresses, type the follow-
ing at the prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > lanaddress Enter
