Understanding the Utility Menu

Note

Utility menu functions vary on different operating systems and platforms. The following example might not represent the options available on your platform.

You can perform many configuration tasks through the Utility menu, which can be invoked after the first part of the POST is completed.

Use the following procedures to display the Utility menu:

1. During the boot process, press 2 within five seconds after the following message displays:

   Select startup mode.  If no selection is made within 5 seconds,
   the FASTPATH Application will start automatically...
