Assigning System Resources For Option Boards - Intergraph InterServe 05 Setup Manual

4. Click the System Boot Up Sequence parameter. The Options menu displays, with a
choice of boot sequences. The default is C:, A:, CDROM, which designates the system
hard disk drive (C:) as the initial boot device, followed by the floppy disk drive (A:).
5. Click the A:, C:, CDROM option to reverse the boot sequence; then press
6. Select Exit and Save to exit AMIBIOS Setup.
7. Restart the system.
Until the boot sequence is changed back to C:, A:, the system will check for a bootable
diskette in the floppy disk drive before attempting to boot from the system's boot disk drive.

Assigning System Resources for Option Boards

Some ISA boards, PC Card devices, and non-compliant PCI boards include a configuration
diskette that you can use to reserve the system resources required for the board. Other option
boards and PC Card devices do not include a diskette, but require that you manually enter the
configuration information. The next two sections describe how to reserve system resources in
both cases.
The System Configuration Utility (SCU) is an MS-DOS utility that will not run in the
Windows NT environment. Use the System Utilities (SYSUTIL) diskette delivered with your
system to boot the system into MS-DOS. The system must be set to boot from the floppy disk
drive (normally drive A) to use the SCU. If necessary, refer to "Changing the System Boot
Sequence."
NOTE PC Card devices and non-compliant PCI boards that require system resources should be
configured as if they are ISA boards.
ISA Boards with a Configuration File
Some ISA boards are shipped with a diskette containing a configuration file. The
configuration file can be loaded to the system so that the BIOS reads this file to assign
resources during startup. If you install ISA boards that are shipped with a configuration
diskette, follow this procedure.
NOTE If a configuration diskette is not delivered with the option board, refer to "ISA Boards without a
Configuration File."
To configure ISA boards with a configuration file:
1. Shut down and power off the system.
2. Insert the SYSUTIL diskette into the floppy disk drive; then restart the system.
3. When the MS-DOS Startup menu displays, select option 1 to run the SCU.
