Re: flash drives

I am presuming that the S812 can also be IPLed from that 32G drive. But,
dumb question time, I guess: >can< it be IPLED from that 32G stick? I
have seen systems (not from IBM) that did not enable USB until the OS was
loaded.

A 32GB Stick would hold the entire O/S and LPPs so that's an option.
You could also use an RDX.
You can boot from the network.
You can attach a tape drive.
And yes it supports a DVD Drive.

Does the S812 come with a DVD drive? If not, and it fries and you want to
reload it from scratch what is your installation type?
