Boot Console Interface
Displaying and Setting the Fastboot Mode
205
Displaying and Setting the Fastboot
Mode
When
fastboot
is enabled (set to
on
), your worksta-
tion 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
quicker. The default factory setting is for
fastboot
to
be enabled (
on
).
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 self tests, causing the boot process 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 condi-
tion.
To display the status of
fastboot
, type the following at
the prompt:
Config Menu: Enter command >
fastboot
To disable
fastboot
, type the following at the prompt:
Config Menu: Enter command >
fastboot
off
To enable
fastboot
, type the following at the prompt:
Config Menu: Enter command >
fastboot
on
