Boot Console Handler Features
There are times when you want to interact directly with the hardware of the B2000
workstation before it boots the operating system. The B2000 workstation provides a
menu-driven Boot Console Handler that allows you to perform special tasks, display
information, and set certain system parameters, even if the operating system is
unavailable.
Here are some of the things you can do:
Boot the system
Search for bootable media
Reset the system
Display and set boot paths
Display and set the monitor type
Display memory configuration information
Display the status of the PCI slots
Set Auto Boot, Auto Search, and Auto Start
Set Fastboot
Display LAN information
Display system information
The Boot Console Handler menus follow, showing the various tasks you can perform and
the available information. The shortened version of each command is indicated by the
uppercase letters.
Help is available for all the menus and commands by using either
help
,
he
, or
?
and the
menu or command for which you want help.
