You can select keyboard operating characteristics, such as the keyboard speed.
You also can specify whether the keyboard number lock starts on or off. You also
can enable the server to run without a diskette drive, monitor, or keyboard.

keyboard see Table 16 on page 73.
The server uses a startup sequence to determine the device from which the
operating system loads. For example, you can define a startup sequence that
checks for a startable diskette in the diskette drive, then checks the hard disk
drive in bay 1, and then checks a network adapter.
If the Boot Fail Count choice is enabled, you must restart the system three times

menu.
You can enable a virus-detection test that checks for changes in the master boot
record at startup.
