Main

The following section describes the settings found in the Main screen and lists the
recommended default where possible. Some of the fields only appear if you have the
BIOS version noted in the heading. This documentation covers the Eclipse BIOS
version up to 1.00.22. Some fields appeared in BIOS Version 1.00.20, which was
available only on the Micros web site. Complete BIOS release notes are provided with
the BIOS located on the web site.

System Time:

System Date:

These fields allow you to set the system time and date. Time is entered in the 24-hour
military time format. For example, 1PM is 13:00:00, 6PM is 18:00:00, and so forth.
Use the -/+ keys to select a value, then press enter to advance to the next field.

Legacy Diskette A: [Disabled] (BIOS Version 1.00.20 or later)

This sub-menu determines if a legacy Floppy Diskette installed, and defines the type.
The Eclipse does not include a legacy floppy interface. However, this selection is
present to maintain compatibility with disk images created for previous workstations
and their ability to support diskless operation. Select "1.44/1.25 Mb 3½" when the
Eclipse is used as a RES/3700 diskless client.
Primary Master [Auto]
The Primary Master is the only hard drive supported by the Eclipse. To change or
examine the settings in the Primary Master field, scroll to the selection and press
[Enter].
We recommend the default setting of 'Auto'. It forces the BIOS to automatically
detect the hard drive parameters and optimal settings each time the workstation boots.
If a hard disk is not installed, the Primary Master field will display [None].
When the cursor is located on the Primary Master field, pressing [Enter] shows the
available settings. The default settings for each field are shown in brackets [].
Translation Mode [Assisted LBA]
We recommend that you leave this field at the default setting of "Assisted LBA"
when installing a new hard disk of any size. The alternate setting, ECHS, could be
used if you move a hard disk from a PCWS Ultra or other computer to the Eclipse
and it refuses to boot. This problem is seen as a blinking cursor in the upper left
corner of the LCD. However, we do not recommend moving a hard disk from an
older MICROS PCWS or desktop computer into the Eclipse without installing an
Eclipse image. The Eclipse image contains the correct drivers for the Eclipse
hardware.
To toggle the Translation Mode, press [Enter], select [ECHS] or [Assisted
o
LBA], and press [Enter] again.
