Startup sequence information
In keeping with IBM's commitment to provide computers designed to enhance
network manageability and control, the startup sequence of your computer has been
preset to automatically send a DHCP request when your computer starts.
This
feature makes it easier for a network administrator to set up and manage computers
using network-management software such as IBM LANClient Control Manager (see
“Information for network administrators” on page
34).
With the preset startup sequence, when you start your computer with the Ethernet
cable attached and no startup diskette in the diskette drive, your computer sends a
DHCP request over the network.
If the DHCP request is successful, an IP address is
assigned to your computer, and the operating system and other software is loaded.
The PC 300PL is shipped with this preset startup sequence:
First startup device
[
Diskette drive
]
Second startup device
[
Network
]
Third startup device
[
Hard disk drive
]
Fourth startup device
[
Disabled
]
If you want to change the startup-sequence settings for your computer, such as
removing Network from the startup sequence, see “Setting the startup sequence” on
page 75.
Note:
The preceding startup sequence is not the
default
startup sequence for your
computer.
If you change the settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility
program to default, the preceding settings will change.
