Installation/Support Tips Installing Diskette Drives Cl Make sure that the drive type has been correctly selected and that the drive is enabled in the SETUP program. c3 Make sure jumper JPl2 is set to position 1-2 to enable the diskette drive controller. Installing Hard Disk Drives If you are installing a drive that cannot use the embedded IDE interface (such as an ESDI drive), it is recommended that you use a 16-bit, AT-type hard disk controller. If you install a non-IDE hard disk drive and controller card, you must set jumper JP5 to On to disable both of the built-in IDE hard disk drive interfaces. Also, remove the hard disk drive ribbon connector from the system board. When installing a hard disk drive, use the auto-sensing feature in SETUP to select the correct type for the drive. If the auto-sensing feature does not produce a match for the drive, you can define your own drive type by selecting User as the type and entering the drive's parameters. Software Problems Q When installing a copy-protected software package, first try the installation at high speed. If this does not work properly, select low speed by pressing Ctrl Alt - (on the numeric keypad). Try loading the program at low speed and then switching to high speed, if possible. Cl When running a software package that uses a key disk as its copy-protection method, try loading it at high speed. If this does not work, load it at low speed. Installing Option Cards If you are installing a video adapter card, make sure you disable the built-m VGA controller by setting JPl5 to 2-3. Upgrading the Processor When you replace the processor, you need to check the settings of several jumpers, as listed on page 3. Booting Sequence If you cannot boot the computer from the hard disk, make sure the booting sequence in SETUP is set to A: then C : . Then boot the computer from a system diskette in drive A.

Disable the password by setting jumper JP11 on the main system board to On. 3. Turn the computer on, leave it on for a few seconds, then turn it off again. 4. Set jumper JP11 back to off to select the system board battery. 5. Run SETUP to enter a new password, if desired. Information Reference List Engineering Change Notices None.
