Type [Auto]
This field displays the primary master device. Pressing [-] scrolls through the
possible selections.
None
This setting can be used if no hard disk is installed (i.e., the workstation is
diskless). However, the default 'Auto' setting, (see below) can be used as well
for a diskless workstation.
Auto
This is the default setting. If an IDE hard disk is installed, the BIOS
automatically detects its parameters and optimal settings each time the
workstation is powered-up. If the hard disk is removed or a different hard disk
is installed at a later time, because the BIOS detects the hard disk each time
the workstation boots, it does not generate POST errors about a defective hard
disk or hard disk interface.
User
The User specified setting allows you to manually enter the hard disk's
Cylinders, Heads, and Sector (CHS) data from a keyboard, but this is not
recommended. This setting should be used only if the hard disk is not detected
with the 'Auto' setting, and only if you can specify the correct CHS data for
the drive.
Other ATAPI
N/A
ATAPI Removeable
N/A
IDE Removable
Refers to IDE versions of the ZIP Drive or Super Drive.
CD-ROM
The CD-ROM setting is normally disabled. CD-ROM support for the Eclipse
is provided by a Parallel Port Backpack external CD-ROM reader, or through
various external PCMCIA and USB CD-ROM drives.
Primary Slave [None]
The Eclipse workstation supports a single IDE Hard disk internally, the Primary
Master. However, if you have a dual-drive ATA/66 IDE ribbon cable with three
connectors and a "Y" cable adapter to power both drives, set this field to [Auto], then
reboot the workstation to allow the BIOS to detect the IDE device you have installed
temporarily. Be sure the master/slave jumpers on the second device you install are set
to slave.
Secondary Master [None]
