There are times when you want to interact directly with the hardware
of your workstation before it boots the operating system. Your work-
station provides a menu-driven boot console interface that allows
you to perform special tasks, display information, and set certain sys-
tem parameters, even if the operating system is unavailable.

Here are some of the things you can do:

•

Boot your workstation

•

Search for bootable media

•

Reset your workstation

•

Display and set boot paths

•

Display and set your monitor type

•

Display memory configuration information

•

Display the status of the EISA slots

•

Set auto boot and auto search

•

Set fastboot

•

Display LAN information

•

Display system information

•

Display PIM information

NOTICE:

All of the tasks in the boot console interface
should be performed by a system administrator.
