E-EQ-MX3RG-J-ARC MX3 Reference Guide
Verifying Boot Order
1. During bootup, the <F2> key must be pressed to enter BIOS Setup. Turn on the
MX3. Press <F2>. (If Main Menu BIOS parameter Setup Msg is turned Off, the
“Press F2” message is not seen but the <F2> key function is still available.)
2. At the BIOS Setup Main Menu, view the Boot parameter.
3. If the Boot parameter is not already highlighted, press the <DownArrow> until it
is highlighted.
4. Make sure the field entry is set to “C:”, if not press SP, and change the field
entry to “C:”.
5. Press <Right Arrow> until you reach the Exit menu.
6. Select “Save and Exit” to save the changes. Press <Enter>. If the MX3 does not
reboot automatically, reboot the MX3.
If the error continues please contact LXE Technical Support.
Missing COMMAND.COM
If the computer displays “Bad or missing Command Interpreter”, the computer is configured to
start from the hard disk and...
• the COMMAND.COM file was accidentally deleted, or
• the operating system can’t find the COMMAND.COM file (it may be in a directory
other than the root directory), or
• an incompatible version of COMMAND.COM was copied over the
COMMAND.COM version supplied with the MX3.
To replace the command interpreter, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the MX3 is powered off.
2. Remove the endcap.
3. Insert the DOS boot SRAM card into Slot 0, the right slot.
Note: You should have created a DOS boot SRAM when you received the
MX3.
4. Power on the MX3.
5. If you receive the “Bad or missing command interpreter” message continue with
step 6, otherwise go to step 12.
