BIOS
The BIOS is the interface between the operating system and the hardware. Its
data, crucial to the proper functioning of the hardware, is stored in a 256 Kbyte
flash memory device, which sits in a socket located on the Matrox 4Sight-II
motherboard.
The BIOS Setup program allows you to reconfigure the BIOS to your
specifications. It is accessed by pressing F2 at startup, during POST.
For more information on BIOS Setup, refer to BIOS reference.
Networking
The networking capabilities of Matrox 4Sight-II are met by a standard
10/100BaseT Ethernet interface.
The Ethernet controller resides on the PCI bus, providing high transfer rates to
and from memory.
Two LEDs, next to the Ethernet jack, provide transmission and reception
information. Specifically, the Activity LED is on when connected to a network,
and blinks whenever packets are being transmitted or received. The LED is off
when there is no network connection present. The 100Mbps LED turns on when
operating in 100BaseT mode; it turns off when operating in 10BaseT mode.
