Step 11 Perform Initial Test and Configuration,
Start the Test
Plug everything in and turn on the switch. If there are any signs of a problem, turn off the unit immediately. Reinstall the
connectors. Call Technical Support at 404-246-8600 if there are problems.
Configure the System
Run AMIBIOS Setup to save configuration data in CMOS RAM. The system then resets, runs POST, and boots the
operating system. See page 91 for a description of STANDARD CMOS SETUP configuration options.
Running AMIBIOS POST
If the system operates normally, a memory display should appear on the monitor. The BIOS Power On Self Test (POST)
should run. POST beeps or displays error messages is unsuccessful.
There is a serious problem if the system beeps. The beeps are part of a Beep Code (see page 80) that indicates a bad
component. Make sure the affected part is properly seated and connected. If the BIOS is able to initialize the system
video monitor, messages (described on page 81) are displayed on the screen.
Run the ECU
Run the American Megatrends EISA Configuration Utility (ECU) to properly configure the system. The ECU and the
appropriate motherboard .CFG and .OVR files are shipped on a floppy disk with all Enterprise-III EISA VL-Bus
motherboards. The American Megatrends EISA Configuration Utility User's Guide provides complete details about
running the ECU.
