'''LOAD_SYS_IMAGES''' is a [[System Parameters|system parameter]] that controls the loading of system images described in the system image data file, VMS$SYSTEM_IMAGES. This parameter is a bit mask.

On [[Alpha]] and [[Integrity]] servers, the following bits are defined:

{| class="wikitable"
! colspan="col" | Bit
! colspan="col" | Description
|-
| 0 (SGN$V_LOAD_SYS_IMAGES)
| Enables loading alternate execlets specified in VMS$SYSTEM_IMAGES.DATA.
|-
| 1 (SGN$V_EXEC_SLICING)
| Enables executive slicing.
|-
| 2 (SGN$V_RELEASE_PFNS)
|  Enables releasing unused portions of the Alpha and Integrity servers huge pages.
|}

These bits are on by default. Using conversational bootstrap exec slicing can be disabled.
