Autotype Fixed Disk
Use this option when setting up new disks. This option allows the BIOS to
determine the proper settings of the disk based on information on the disk,
which is detected by the EPC-26A/27 BIOS for drives that comply with ANSI
specifications. Use the ENTER key to invoke this function.
Existing (formatted) disks must be set up using the same parameters that
were used originally when the disk was formatted. You must enter the specific
cylinder, head, sector information as listed on the label attached to the drive
at the factory. Use the "User" type described below.
Type
For the majority of users who are using a system that was pre-configured, you
probably have an IDE hard disk drive. Select "None" if you are not using an
IDE hard disk drive. In the case for which you have an IDE disk but cannot
employ the "Autotype" feature, then select "User" for the Type and enter the
correct drive values for cylinders, heads, and sectors/track from the label
attached by RadiSys at the factory.
