Note
When starting, the system looks for the operating system files. It
looks at the boot devices in your system, in the order that is specified in
the BIOS. If the diskette drive comes before the hard drive in boot order
and you do not have a diskette in drive A, the system boots from the hard
drive. A diskette without operating system files in drive A prevents a
system boot and displays the error message, "non-system disk installed in
drive A."
BIOS Questions
Will my system correctly handle the Year 2000 problem?
Yes, the system is designed to automatically increment to the correct
1/1/2000 date. The system will then keep and increment the date
correctly.
Is there a new BIOS available for my system? Should I
update?
Unless there is some problem you are trying to fix, NECC does not
recommend BIOS upgrades.
Upgrades are released to either fix problems or add features. If you are
experiencing no problems and aren't aware of any features you need, you
may not want to update because of the possibility that a BIOS upgrade
could change something for the worse. It is usually best to take a look at
the release notes that are included with the computer or BIOS update and
make your decision from there on whether to upgrade.
Center before updating the BIOS.
You might have to download the updated BIOS and then run it to
decompress the files, or make a diskette (the file will instruct you).
BIOS updates are available from the NECC website and the FTP site. Call
the NECC Technical Support Center for information on obtaining the
latest BIOS for your system.
