If more than one option is enabled, the system recognizes only the optioncorresponding to the smallest menu number. For example, if options 4 and 2 wereenabled, the system recognizes only Option 2: Service Mode Boot from Saved List.After a boot attempt, all enabled options are disabled. In effect, the system discards anymenu options that are enabled after the option with the highest priority (the option withthe smallest menu number) is executed.The user can also override the choices in the Boot Mode Menu while the systeminitialization indicators display on the screen. For example, if the user had enabled thesystem to enter the SMS menus (option 1) but pressed the 8 key while the systeminitialization indicators displayed on the screen, the system enters the open firmwareprompt and disregards the settings in the Boot Mode Menu.System Information MenuUse this menu to view the processor configuration information, error logs, systemresources, and processor configuration.SYSTEM INFORMATION MENU1.
