Video Memory - DRAM Video memory can be increased to 1 MB. The built in video subsystem comes with a Cirrus Controller with 512 KB of internal video memory. The internal, integrated Cirrus super VGA controller is fully compatible with these video standards: CGA, EGA, Hercules Graphics, MDA, and VGA. The standard system configuration comes with 512 KB of onboard video memory allowing pixel resolutions of 640 x 480 and 800 x 600 in 256 colors, and 1024 x 768 x 16 colors. The SVGA controller supports only analog monitors (single and multiple frequency, interlaced and noninterlaced) with a maximum vertical retrace interlaced frequency of 87 Hz. Increasing the video memory buffer size to 1 MB with a 256 K x 16 (512 KB), 70 ns, 40-pin SOJ package DRAM allows the controller to support 132-column text modes and high resolution graphics. Boot Device Priority If you are installing a SCSI controller board, the priority of the controllers (where the BIOS will search for the boot drive) is set by the slot location where the board is installed. It is recommended that you install the boards in the lower slots to ease the routing of cables. The following is the search path in order of the highest boot device priority: 1. CD-ROM drive 2. Flexible disk drive 3. IDE device 4. All EISA and ISA slots 5. PCI 1 slot 6. PCI 2 slot 7. PCI 3 slot 8. PCI 4 slot 9. Embedded SCSI A controller 10. Embedded SCSI B controller 11. PCI 5 slot Cabling The hot swap subsystem comes in two standard models that can be reconfigured by changing the cables and switches located on the rear of the subsystem. You are not limited to these configurations, but they are given as possible examples. 155

Video Memory - DRAM
Video memory can be increased to 1 MB. The built in video subsystem comes with a Cirrus Controller with
512 KB of internal video memory. The internal, integrated Cirrus super VGA controller is fully compatible with
these video standards: CGA, EGA, Hercules Graphics, MDA, and VGA. The standard system configuration
comes with 512 KB of onboard video memory allowing pixel resolutions of 640 x 480 and 800 x 600 in 256
colors, and 1024 x 768 x 16 colors. The SVGA controller supports only analog monitors (single and multiple
frequency, interlaced and noninterlaced) with a maximum vertical retrace interlaced frequency of 87 Hz.
Increasing the video memory buffer size to 1 MB with a 256 K x 16 (512 KB), 70 ns, 40-pin SOJ package
DRAM allows the controller to support 132-column text modes and high resolution graphics.
Boot Device Priority
If you are installing a SCSI controller board, the priority of the controllers (where the BIOS will search for the
boot drive) is set by the slot location where the board is installed. It is recommended that you install the
boards in the lower slots to ease the routing of cables.
The following is the search path in order of the highest boot device priority:
1. CD-ROM drive
2. Flexible disk drive
3. IDE device
4.
All EISA and ISA slots
5. PCI 1 slot
6. PCI 2 slot
7. PCI 3 slot
8. PCI 4 slot
9.
Embedded SCSI A controller
10. Embedded SCSI B controller
11. PCI 5 slot
Cabling
The hot swap subsystem comes in two standard models that can be reconfigured by changing the cables
and switches located on the rear of the subsystem. You are not limited to these configurations, but they are
given as possible examples.
