Step 11 Perform Initial Test and Configuration,

Continued
Start the Test
Plug everything in and turn on the switch. If there are any problems, turn off the unit immediately. Reinstall
the connectors and call Technical Support at 404-246-8600.
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 63 for a description of STANDARD CMOS SETUP configuration
options. 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 50) 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 51) are displayed on the screen.
Run the ECU
Run the American Megatrends EISA Configuration Utility (ECU) to properly configure the system. Use the
files on the diskette supplied with the Enterprise-IV EISA VLB motherboard (!AMI87A1.CFG and
AMI87A1.OVL). The American Megatrends EISA Configuration Utility User's Guide provides complete
details about running the ECU.
