Fixed Disk Menu

The Fixed Disk Menu is used to define the type of hard disk(s) installed in the
system. Enter the fixed disk menu screen by pressing the F3 function key from the
2
main setup screen.
The Fixed Disk Menu screen is similar to the following:
RadiSys EPC-23 Fixed Disk Menu, System BIOS V3.06
486SL, 4 MBytes memory
Fixed Disk Drive C:
Type
17
Fixed Disk Drive D: None
Use the up and down cursor keys (
← →
cursor keys (
) to scroll through the available choices for each item.
Disk type AT denotes IDE-compatible drives. You can scroll through a set of
numbered types; the physical configuration is displayed for each. Scroll through the
numeric drive types to find the one matching the characteristics of the hard drive
installed. Note that the RadiSys-supplied hard drive typically has a non-removable
sticker listing the drive type number (or user-defined parameters, if necessary - refer
to User-Definable Drive Types on page 11 for more information).
Choose disk type EXM Flash if you are using an EXM-2 flash disk. An EXM-2
flash disk can be made the boot device by making EXM Flash the drive C: type.
However, if Drive C: is EXM Flash, Drive D: must be set to None.
Choose None if there is no hard disk present or if you are using an EXM-16 SCSI or
an EXM-17 PCMCIA adapter as the boot device. This avoids the timeout period
used by the BIOS to conclude that there is no responding device.
