OMMUNICATIONS
Access to a computer network immediately increases your
productivity potential. Your computer is network ready, which
means it has an embedded network controller and preinstalled
network device drivers. Once your network connection is active,
you can share resources such as a printer, exchange information
from computer to computer, and run common software
programs.
The Deskpro 4000N is configured, by default, with the
following boot order:
1
Diskette Drive: Allows the Deskpro 4000N to share a
diskette drive installed in a second computer connected
through a serial cable. If there is no second computer
connected, the Deskpro 4000N will boot from the internal
hard drive.
✎
The second computer must have optional FDS software
installed in order to establish a serial connection and
enable the Deskpro 4000N to use the diskette drive.
2
Hard drive: Allows the Deskpro 4000N to boot from the
internal hard drive. If the internal hard drive does not have
operating system software installed on it, the Deskpro
4000N will attempt to boot from the network.
✎
To bypass the hard drive and boot directly from the
network, turn on or restart the computer. When the F10
Setup message appears, press F12.
3
Network: Allows the Deskpro 4000N to boot from a server
running a supported PC LAN management tool in order to
set up a new hard drive, reinstall operating system software,
or reset the default configuration.
The Compaq Netelligent 10/100 TX Embedded UTP Controller
automatically senses the data throughput speed of the network,
10Base-T or 100Base-TX, and configures itself appropriately.
