You cannot change these values; if they are not what you expect them to be, check your jumper settings. Also, check that the SIMM(s) are securely seated in their sockets. (See chapter 4.) Setting the diskette drive(s) On your system, diskette drive A is the 3.5-inch, highdensity drive installed in the computer. You may also have another drive of a different size or capacity; this is drive B. Check the settings for both drives and correct them if necessary. Assigning Hard Disk Drive Types The Fixed Disk Setup option defines the types of hard disk drives you have installed in your system. When you select this option, you see the Fixed Disk Setup screen. From this screen, select Fixed Disk 0 Control or Fixed Disk 1 Control. Your computer comes with a hard disk auto-sensing feature. Press Enter when the Autotype Fixed Disk option is highlighted. The system detects the type of hard disk drive and fills in the remaining fields on the screen. If you are using an older drive or a preformatted drive, it may not support the auto-sensing feature. If you press Enter when the Autotype Fixed Disk option is highlighted and the drive parameters do not match your drive, check Appendix A to see if your drive's parameters are included in the hard disk drive table. If not, you need to define your own drive type or reformat the disk. See the next section for instructions on how to define your own drive type. Running SETUP and Installing Drivers 2-5
