Chapter 3 Starting Up AXD Tools 17

If you want to start up AXD tools from a NetBoot image hosted on a NetBoot server,

press and hold the F1 key instead of the Option key.

Both of these alternatives immediately start up AXD EFI tools and bypass the list of

volumes described in the next step.

3 If you displayed the list of volumes instead of immediately starting up AXD tools, select

the volume with AXD tools, and then click the arrow button to start up.

The AXD EFI tools volume is listed as AXD EFI 3X103.

After you’re done using AXD EFI tools and restart the Xserve, it starts up using the

default startup volume.

Starting Up an AXD EFI Tools NetBoot Image Using the Xserve’s Front

Panel

You can use the Xserve’s front panel buttons to start up an AXD EFI tools disk image

hosted by a NetBoot server. This technique is useful for situations where your Xserve:

Â Doesn’t have a monitor or keyboard attached

Â Doesn’t respond to keyboard input

Â Doesn’t have Mac OS X Server installed

The Xserve must be on the same subnet as the NetBoot server hosting the AXD EFI

tools disk image.

If the Xserve’s EFI requires a password, you won’t be able to start up a NetBoot image

using the front panel. You’ll need to disable the firmware password before you can use

the front panel. To disable the password, you must be able to start up Mac OS X Server

on the Xserve.

To use the Xserve’s front panel to start up an AXD EFI tools NetBoot image:

1 Turn off the Xserve.

2 Press and hold the system identifier button and press the on/standby button.
