If the server has Wake on LAN hardware and software and the operating system supports Wake on LAN functions, you can specify a startup sequence for the Wake on LAN functions. You can also specify whether a PCI SCSI adapter has boot precedence. If you enable the boot fail count, the BIOS default settings will be restored after three consecutive failures to find a boot record. You can enable a virus-detection test that checks for changes in the boot record when the server starts. This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only. - Startup Sequence Options Select this choice to view the Startup Sequence menu.
