Reenabling Diskette Boot or Diskette Write
The workstation ships with the Diskette Boot or Diskette Write features enabled. If a user has
disabled the factory settings that permit the workstation to boot from a diskette or to prohibit a
user from saving data to a diskette, you may need to reenable the features to service the
workstation. To enable Diskette Boot or Diskette Write:
1. Turn on the workstation.
2. When the
F10 = Setup
message appears in the lower-right corner of the screen, press
F10.
NOTE:
You have approximately 30 seconds to press
F10.
If you do not press
F10
during this time, you
must turn the workstation off, then on again to access the utility.
3. From the main menu, select Storage, then select Removable Media
.
4. Press the up/down arrow keys to select the function you want to enable.
5. Press the left/right arrow keys to select Enable
.
6. Save the configuration and exit the utility.
7. Restart the workstation.
IMPORTANT:
If you disable the diskette drive, the FailSafe Boot Block ROM will ignore the disabled
component to accommodate a system ROM recovery in the event a system ROM failure occurs.
