Insert a bootable floppy diskette and select "Save & Exit Setup" from the BIOS main menu. Once your server has properly booted, an "A:\>" prompt will appear.

You may be prompted for manufacturer supplied driver diskettes for each device on your server if they are not included in the operating system setup drivers. AP2000 Hardware Reference Guide 35
