Mass Storage Devices - HP Vectra VE4 User Manual

1. Highlight the IRQ field you want to change, for example IRQ 11.
2. Use [F7] or [F8] to set the value to ISA, freeing the IRQ from the PCI controller,
thereby making it available for the ISA card.
If you have installed an ISA card and enabled a serial or parallel port on the card, a
conflict may occur with the internal serial or parallel port. The BIOS will automatically
resolve the conflict, making the port on the card the active port. The POST screen will
display "external" for the port address concerned.
If you have installed a PCI card that requires the "bus master" bit to be enabled, set the
PCI Bus Master field to Enabled.
If you have no other changes to make, press [F3] to save the setting and exit the Setup
program.

If the installed d evice uses a controller board, depending on which connector you have
used for the drive, set the Primary IDE Interface or Secondary IDE

If you have installed a hard disk drive that requires a specific translation method, set the
Translation Method field to Standard CHS, or Extended CHS as appropriate.
If you have installed an additional flexible disk drive and wish to use 1.2 MB capacity
diskettes, set the Flexible Drive 2 field to 1.2 MB.
If you wish to use 1.2 MB capacity diskettes in the supplied drive, set the Flexible
Drive 1 field to 1.2 MB.
If you have no other changes to make, press [F3] to save the setting and exit the Setup

Printer or Plotter
Select the mode used by your PC to communicate with your printer.
1. Highlight the Parallel Port Mode field. Choices are Centronics, ECP, or EPP. The

and Serial Port fields. These values can be changed, but the same address and
IRQ cannot be used both serial ports.
2. If you have no other changes to make, press [F3] to save the setting and exit the Setup
program.

If your display supports Display Data Channel (DDC1), the computer can detect the display
and set it to the optimum resolution, when the Plug and Play Display field in the Setup
program is set to Enabled (default).
1. If you do not wish the resolution to be automatically set, change the option to Disabled.
If you wish to change the resolution after your system has started, see Using HP User
