IMPORTANT NOTE: When the system boots without the CRT being
connected, there will be no image on screen when you insert the
CRT/VGA cable. To show the image on screen, the hotkey must be
pressed (CTRL-ALT-F1).
Remarks: The IDE connector on board does not support OS
installation in hard drive. A system hard drive connected to this IDE
cannot be booted up to OS.
