The Boot Console Interface
Displaying and Setting the Fastboot Mode
Displaying and Setting the Fastboot Mode
When
fastboot
is enabled (set to
on
), your workstation does a quick check
of the memory and skips I/O interface testing during its power-on self tests.
This enables your workstation to complete its boot process more quickly.
The default factory setting is for
fastboot
to be disabled (
off
).
The
fastboot
mode allows your workstation to boot quickly by performing a
less extensive check of the system’s memory.
When
fastboot
is disabled (set to
off
), more extensive memory testing and
I/O interface testing is performed during the selftests, causing the boot pro-
cess to take longer.
If you are experiencing difficulty in booting your workstation, set
fastboot
to
off
and reboot the system. The more extensive testing may reveal the error
condition.
To display the status of
fastboot
, type the following at the prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command >
fastboot
To disable
fastboot
, type the following at the prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command >
fastboot
off
To enable
fastboot
, type the following at the prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command >
fastboot
on
CAUTION:
If a graphics adapter is installed in the system, it must be selected as the
console device. If additional graphics adapters are installed, Fastboot mode
cannot be used.
