Boot Configuration

Boot configuration defines the location from which the PM PDU loads the operating system.

The PM PDU can boot from its internal firmware or from the network. By default, the PM PDU

boots from Flash memory. Clicking System- Boot Configuration will display the Boot

Configuration screen.

If you need to boot from the network, make sure the following prerequisites are met:

• A TFTP or BootP server must be available on the network

• An upgraded PM PDU boot image file must be downloaded from Avocent and made

available on the TFTP or BootP server

• The PM PDU must be configured with a fixed IP address

• The boot filename and the IP address of the TFTP or BootP server is known

To configure boot configuration:

1. Click System - Boot Configuration.

2. Under Boot Mode, select From Flash, and select Image 1 or Image 2.

-or-

Select From Network and enter the following information:

• Appliance IP Address: Enter the fixed IP address or a DHCP assigned IP address to the

PM PDU.

• TFTP Server IP: Enter the IP address of the TFTP boot server.

• Filename: Enter the filename of the boot firmware.

3. Using the drop-down menu, select whether the Watchdog Timer is enabled. If the

Watchdog Timer is enabled, the PM PDU reboots if the software crashes.

4. Using the drop-down menu, select one of the following speeds for Ethernet 0: 100BT full,

100BT half, 10BT full, 10BT half or Auto. Click Save.

NOTE: Ethernet Mode will be affected after saving. The rest of the configuration will be applied after rebooting.
