Speaker - Dell PowerEdge 2300 User Manual

4-10 Dell PowerEdge 2300 Systems User's Guide
Parallel Mode controls whether the system's built-in parallel port acts as an AT-
compatible (unidirectional) or PS/2-compatible (bidirectional) port.
Set this category according to the type of peripheral device connected to the parallel
port. To determine the correct mode to use, see the documentation that came with
the device.
Diskette controls the operation of the system's built-in diskette drive controller.
With Auto (the default option) selected, the system turns off the built-in diskette drive
controller when necessary to accommodate a controller card installed in an expansion
slot.
With Write Protect selected, nothing can be written to diskette drives and tape drives
using the system's built-in diskette drive controller. (The system can still read from the
drives.) When this option is selected, the Auto option (whereby the system turns off
the built-in diskette drive controller as necessary) is also in effect.
Selecting Off turns off the built-in diskette controller; this option is used primarily for
troubleshooting purposes.
Speaker determines whether the onboard speaker is On (the default) or Off. A change
to this category takes effect immediately (rebooting the system is not required).
Primary SCSI and Secondary SCSI turn the respective SCSI controller on or off.
Selecting On (the default option) enables the built-in PCI SCSI controller and scans
the associated ROM. For the system to boot from a drive attached to the built-in SCSI
controller, the drive must be enabled. Selecting Off causes the BIOS to mask the
presence of a device.
The following categories, which are not selectable, display information about the
system:
The Processor line displays the microprocessor type and speed.
Level 2 Cache displays the size of the integrated cache
System Memory indicates the entire amount of installed memory detected in
your system, except for memory on Expanded Memory Specification (EMS)
expansion cards. After adding memory, check this category to confirm that the
new memory is installed correctly and is recognized by the system.
