Using the Boot Manager

This section explains how to use the Boot Manager.

The Boot Manager is a built-in, menu-driven configuration utility program that you can use to temporarily redefine the first startup device without changing settings in the Setup utility.

To use the Boot Manager, complete the following steps:

  1. Turn off the server.
  2. Restart the server.
  3. When the prompt <F12> Select Boot Device is displayed, press F12.
  4. Use the Up arrow and Down arrow keys to select an item from the menu and press Enter.

The next time the server starts, it returns to the startup sequence that is set in the Setup utility.
