Start Options / Advanced Setup

Start Options / Advanced Setup

Start options take effect when you start the server.
You can select keyboard operating characteristics, such as the keyboard speed. You also can specify whether the keyboard number lock (NumLock) starts on or off. You also can enable the server to run in disketteless and monitorless operation.

You can specify the startup sequence the server is to use to determine the device from which the operating system loads. For example, you can define a startup sequence that checks for a CD-ROM, then checks an installed hard disk drive, and then checks a network adapter.

Attention: If the CD-ROM drive contains a startable CD,
you must remove the CD if you want to use a startup sequence that begins with a startable diskette.

You can enable a virus-detection test that checks at startup for changes in the master boot record. You also can also choose to run POST in the enhanced mode or in the quick mode.

Select Start Options, then, use the Left Arrow (<) or Right Arrow (>) key to advance through each data field.

Advanced Setup: Select Advanced Setup to change values for advanced hardware features, such as cache control, PCI bus control, memory settings, and advanced ISA settings.

NOTE: A warning message displays above the choices on this menu, to alert you that the system may malfunction if these options are configured incorrectly. Follow the instructions on the screen carefully.

Use the Left Arrow (<) or Right Arrow (>) key to highlight the options for the selected menu item.

Core Chipset Control: Select this choice to modify settings that control features of the core chip set on the system board. The chipset control choices are:

IOQ Depth    Use this setting to control the in order queue (IOQ) depth in the system.

   The value can be varied from 1 to 8.

   This value should normally be set at 8 (default)

Grant Timers    Use this setting to enable or disable the grant timer mechanism for

   each the 5 PCI slots. Enabling this will cause grant to be asserted to a

   PCI bus agent for a minimum of two clocks. This setting should normally

   be set to disable (default)
