Startup Sequence Information
In keeping with IBM's commitment to provide computers designed to enhance
network manageability and control, the startup sequence of your computer has been
preset to automatically send a DHCP request when your computer starts. This
feature makes it easier for a network administrator to set up and manage computers
using network-management software such as IBM LANClient Control Manager (see
“Information for Network Administrators” on page 15).
With the preset startup sequence, when you start your computer with the Ethernet
cable attached and no startup diskette in the diskette drive, your computer sends a
DHCP request over the network. If the DHCP request is successful, an IP address is
assigned to your computer, and the operating system and other software is loaded.
