  • Page 51: Working With Scsi And Ide/Eide Drives

    Working with SCSI and IDE/EIDE Drives In a system that combines SCSI disk drives with a standard ATAPI CD-ROM drive, the system attempts to boot from the CD-ROM drive before it attempts to boot from a SCSI disk drive. This is because, by default, the BIOS looks for an IDE boot drive, and then for the CD-ROM drive, before it looks for a SCSI disk drive.

  • Page 52: Using Hardware Security Features

    The system has security features designed to help prevent unauthorized tampering with the internal components. A tamper-indicating Intergraph Computer Systems Factory Quality Seal is affixed to the base unit, overlapping the top cover and the back of the unit. The seal is your assurance that the unit has not been opened since it left the factory.

  • Page 53: Configuring The Bios

    Configuring the BIOS The BIOS Setup program is used to configure the system’s basic input/output system (BIOS). The BIOS is used to configure the system board and CPU, and to provide hardware information to the operating system. For the system to run properly, run BIOS Setup after you make a hardware change to the system.

  • Page 54: Bios Overview

    BIOS Overview The system’s basic input/output system (BIOS) records basic system operating parameters, such as the amount of memory, the boot sequence, and the type of video display. The operating parameters are set in the BIOS before shipment. The BIOS is stored in flash erasable-programmable memory (EPROM) on the system board, and reads the system parameters in the system’s complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) random- access memory (RAM).

PCI devices also need to use an IRQ, but since they share system resources they can use the same IRQ. At least one IRQ must be left unassigned, for use with any PCI devices installed in your system.
  • Page 90 Some older PCI device drivers cannot share an interrupt, which is a violation of the PCI 2.1 specification. If you install a device that uses such a driver, you must free an IRQ for the device to work in the system.
