Installing system software

The System Software CD contains several files. The Boot.efi file contains basic
information required for the GA-1121 to boot; the System.efi file contains all of the
system software.
To install system software using the parallel port on the GA-1121, you need:
• A PC with Windows 9x/Me
• A CD-ROM drive built in or attached
• At least 300MB of disk space free
• Support for ECP mode on the parallel port
• IEEE 1284 bi-directional parallel cable (maximum 6 feet long)
One end of the parallel cable requires an MDR-36 male connector for connecting to
the female mini-Centronics connector on the GA-1121.
The PC will need to be configured so the parallel port mode in the BIOS is set to ECP.
When you access the PC BIOS to set the parallel port mode to ECP, you may discover
that ECP is the default mode, or you may discover that ECP mode is not supported at
all. If ECP is not supported, you can either install an add-in board (not provided), use a
different PC, or opt for a much slower installation using Compatibility Mode.
In addition to accessing the BIOS, setting up the PC also requires certain port and
printer settings in Windows 9x/Me. Before you begin installing system software, follow
the procedure for setting up the PC.
T PC
O SET UP THE
1. Access the PC BIOS and make sure that Parallel Port Mode is set to ECP.
Power on the PC and immediately press the key indicated on your monitor for entering
the BIOS (or a likely key if it is not indicated). Pressing a likely key repeatedly (ESC,
DEL, F1, or a combination) may interrupt the starting of Windows and access the BIOS
or give you directions for accessing the BIOS.
Once in the BIOS, you may have to scroll through several screens to reach the settings for
the parallel port. After setting the Parallel Port Mode to ECP, save your changes and exit
the BIOS.
2. In Windows, click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
