displaying and setting fastboot mode
When fastboot is enabled (set to on), the workstation does a quick check of the memory
and skips some processor self tests during the power-on self tests. This enables the
workstation to complete its boot process quicker. The default factory setting is for
fastboot to be enabled (set to on).
When fastboot is disabled (set to off), more extensive memory and processor testing is
performed during the self tests, causing the boot process to take longer.
If you are experiencing difficulty in booting the 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 and press
Enter:
Configuration Menu: Enter command> fastboot
To disable fastboot, type the following and press
Enter:
Configuration Menu: Enter command> fastboot off
To enable fastboot, type the following and press
