System Cmos Issues - Promise Technology FastTrak S150 SX4 User Manual

FastTrak S150 SX4 / SX4000 / SX4000 Lite User Manual
Miscellaneous problems such as:
• FastTrak S150 SX4 BIOS does not appear during boot
• FastTrak S150 SX4 driver does not load
• Slow data transfer rates
Move the FastTrak S150 SX4 card to a different PCI slot.
Intermittent data problems
Overclocking the PCI bus may cause the system to hang or data corruption. If
you experience either of these problems and you are overclocking the PCI bus,
set the PCI bus back to its normal setting to see if this is causing the errors.

System CMOS Issues

Set Motherboard CMOS Boot sequence to boot to FastTrak S150 SX4 or
SX4000
On some Motherboard BIOS, it is necessary to set the Boot sequence to SCSI,
A:, C: since the Promise card is identified as a SCSI card.
Motherboard CMOS displays C: or D: drive failure during startup
See the Drive-Related Errors section.
Using an Onboard IDE Card with FastTrak S150 SX4 or SX4000 / SX4000 Lite
If an onboard IDE controller is installed with hard disks, enable support in the
Motherboard Standard CMOS Setup for the drives. Note that the onboard IDE
hard drives will then be the bootable hard disk unless the system BIOS has a
boot sequence setting with the option to specify booting to a different device.
