Configuring the System

Description and brief procedure
To use the SCU, the system must have
a working, enabled diskette drive, and
you must have a copy of the SCU on a
DOS-bootable diskette (copied from the
Configuration Software CD):
•
To enable and configure a diskette
drive, use BIOS Setup first. Then
use the SCU. Information entered
via the SCU overrides information
entered via Setup.
•
To copy the SCU from the source
CD onto diskette, see "Boot from CD
and Copy Configuration Software to
Diskettes" on page 28.
If the system does not have a diskette
drive, or the drive is disabled or
misconfigured, use Setup to enable it.
Or, you can move the CMOS jumper on
the motherboard from the default setting
(Protect CMOS memory) to the Clear
setting; this will allow most system
configurations to boot. For the
procedure to do this, see the section
"CMOS Jumper" in Chapter 4 in this
manual. Then run the SCU to configure
the system.
