Chapter 9 Configuring the System 3. Move to the Baud Rate and Console Type fields. Use the plus (+) and minus (-) keys to choose from the list of selections in each field. Keep the default values in the other fields on this screen. 4. Use the right-arrow or left-arrow key to select the Exit menu. Choose Exit and Save Changes from the list of exit options, then press Enter. A dialog appears and asks you to confirm your decision. Choose Yes and press Enter. The server then reboots. The Boot Menu During startup, you can change the boot order of these three mass storage devices: the HP NetServer's diskette drive, its CD-ROM drive, and whatever hard disk you have configured to be a boot device. You do this by invoking the Boot Menu during startup. NOTE Any boot order changes you make with the Boot Menu apply only to the current session. When you restart the server again, it defaults to its normal boot order. For example: in its default boot order, the server scans the CD-ROM drive for a bootable disk before trying to boot from a hard drive. With the Boot Menu, you could tell the server put hard drives first in the boot order, even if the CD-ROM drive held a bootable disk. NOTE When booting from a hard disk, by default the system searches for the boot device on SCSI controllers 0 and 1, then on PCI slots 1 through 8. To change the boot order for SCSI devices, or to add SCSCI controllers 2 through 6 to the boot order, use the SCSI Configuration Utility. To reach this utility, reboot the system and wait for the prompt Press Ctrl-C to start Configuration Utility. Then press Ctrl-C. 78
