System Boot Configuration Form
On the Boot Configuration form, you can redefine the location from which the KVM boots.
Boot configuration defines the location from where KVM loads the operating system. The KVM can boot from its internal firmware or from the network. By default, KVM boots from flash memory.
If you need to boot from the network, you need to make sure the following prerequisites are met.
The boot configuration related options are described in the following table.
Whether the watchdog timer is active. If the watchdog timer is active the KVM reboots if the software crashes.
An alternative console speed from 4800 to 115200 (9600 is the default).
