This soft copy for use by IBM employees only.
Select this option if you want to use a display and keyboard as the
server console. Errors will occur when the server is turned on if the
display or the keyboard is not attached.
2. Display only
Select this option if you want to use a display without a keyboard as the
server console.
3. No console
Select this option if you want to use the server without a system console.
If you select this option, you can remove the monitor, the keyboard, and
any attached ASCII terminal and the system will still come up without
the errors normally associated with a missing keyboard or missing
monitor.
5 Set startup sequence
This option lets you select the sequence of the drives on which the system
searches for a valid boot record when you turn it on.
The default startup sequence is the first diskette drive followed by the first
hard disk. You can alter this sequence with this utility. Figure 19 shows an
example of the startup sequence when one hard disk is installed.

Figure 19. Set Startup Sequence Panel
To change the startup sequence, move the cursor to the device box and use
the F5 and F6 keys to toggle the options. The devices that you can choose
will be determined by the number of devices that you have installed. A
maximum of four devices may be selected in the startup sequence.
6 Set fast startup mode
If enabled, the server runs a less extensive POST routine at cold boot time,
thereby reducing the amount of startup time required by the system prior to
loading the operating system.
Note
You will save some startup time in this mode. However, in the unlikely
event of a memory failure, you might not be aware of it until you begin
using your operating system.
