• Configured system load paths
• Enabled command interpreter input (CIIN) function
If the automatic system load is not successful, additional paths for loading are available in the
boot task. Using one load path, the system load task attempts to use another path and keeps
trying until all possible paths have been used or the system load is successful. These 16 paths
are available for loading and are listed in the order of their use by the system load task:
