7. Refer to “Exiting from the Configuration/Setup Utility Program” on page 43 for
instructions on saving your settings and exiting from the Configuration/Setup
Utility program.
Note: When you are using the RPL and DHCP features, you might encounter error
messages specific to the integrated Ethernet subsystem. If this happens,
record the error message and report the problem to your network
administrator. Also, information about these error messages is documented
in “Error Messages Specific to the Integrated Ethernet” on page 107.
Network-Enabled Startup Sequence: If your computer is equipped with the
integrated Ethernet subsystem, the settings for the primary startup sequence have
been factory-changed to support network-management software, such as LANClient
Control Manager. If your computer is properly configured, you can use these
settings to perform a remote program load each time your computer is started.
Note: These factory settings are not the default settings for your computer. If the
default settings are ever restored, the factory settings will be erased. (For the
default settings, see “Default Settings for the Startup Sequence” on page 68.)
If the default settings are loaded, you can always change these settings back
to the values shown in the table below.
To view or change any of the startup sequence settings, select Start Options from
the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu, and then select Startup Sequence.
The primary startup sequence is the first group of startup devices that you see. The
factory settings for these devices are listed below.
As the above settings imply, once your computer is started (and there is no flash
diskette loaded in the diskette drive), the computer tries to perform an RPL over a
network. When this happens, the following message appears on the screen.
Press "Home" key to cancel RPL
If your computer is properly connected to a LAN, RPL will continue to run until it
is successful or until you cancel it by pressing the Home key. If your computer is
First Startup Device Diskette Drive 0
Second Startup Device Network (RPL)
11
Third Startup Device Hard Disk Drive 0
Fourth Startup Device Disabled
11
Although RPL does not show up in this menu, this is the action (remote program load) that is taking
place when the second startup device is accessed. You can change this setting in the Ethernet Setup
menu, under Network Boot. See “RPL and DHCP” on page 65 for more information.
