. You can also use no emulation or hard drive emulation to create a bootable CD. Disk On Key (DOK) A USB flash drive that is capable of booting a computer into a DOS or WinPE environment that has been correctly configured. DOS CD-ROM driver The DOS CD-ROM driver is loaded as a device in config.sys - HP xw4000 | HP xw Workstation series - Transition from PATA optical disc drives - Page 3
Makes the SATA controller look like an IDE controller and offers the best IDE compatibility. Only two SATA ports (0 and 2) are available in this mode. This mode is available on the HP xw4400, xw6400, and xw8400 Workstations. Separate IDE controller Offers standard SATA support. Only four SATA - HP xw4000 | HP xw Workstation series - Transition from PATA optical disc drives - Page 4
system. FailSafe Boot Block BIOS recovery SATA optical drives are not supported for a Boot Block ROM Flash. One of the following alternatives must be used: • Use a floppy drive or PATA (ATAPI) optical drive. • Use a USB Disk On Key for xw6400, xw8400, and xw9400 workstations.

Setup) When the SATA configuration mode is set to RAID/AHCI mode, the system BIOS cannot be updated from the SATA optical drive using the Computer Setup Utility (F10 setup). The following are suggested workarounds: • Update the system BIOS using a USB Disk On Key (DOK) and the Computer Setup Utility - HP xw4000 | HP xw Workstation series - Transition from PATA optical disc drives - Page 6
HP xw8400 Workstation The following topics are specific to the HP xw8400 Workstation. Boot to DOS The xw8400 can boot from a bootable DOS CD-ROM in combined or separate modes. Boot to DOS currently does not work in RAID+AHCI mode or when the SATA optical disc drive is connected to a SAS port. The - HP xw4000 | HP xw Workstation series - Transition from PATA optical disc drives - Page 7
to the lowest SATA port number. A suggested workaround is to choose the Optical Drive option by pressing F9 during POST. This issue will be corrected in a later revision of the system BIOS.
