PHLASH.EXE
All servers have BIOS software in a read-only, non-volatile memory (ROM) chip. This BIOS initializes
hardware and boots the operating system when the server is turned on. The BIOS also provides access to
other services such as keyboard and disk drives.
The server comes equipped with flash memory. This means that the server's BIOS can simply restored by
running the PHLASH.EXE utility. The server's BIOS can also be upgraded to future releases by running
PHLASH.EXE along with any flash BIOS update diskette, if necessary.
PHLASH.EXE and BIOS updates are available on the Digital Bulletin Board (BBS).
Using EPP3SMC.EXE
EPP3SMC.EXE is a device driver for configuring the parallel port as an enhanced parallel port (EPP).
Before loading this device driver, check the documentation for the device to be connected to the parallel
port and make sure it supports EPP mode. If it does not, this device driver does not need to be loaded.
If the device does support EPP mode:
1) Copy EPP3SMC.EXE from the Startup/Utility diskette to the hard disk drive.
Note the path where the driver is located.
2) Edit the CONFIG.SYS file to enter the path for EPP3SMC.EXE.
Refer to the DOS documentation for information on editing the CONFIG.SYS file. For example a
line in the CONFIG.SYS might be:
device=C:\epp3smc.exe
3) Save the new version of the CONFIG.SYS file.
4) Press
[Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Del]
to reboot the server.
5) Before POST completes, press
[F2]
to enter Setup.
6) Choose the Advanced Menu in Setup and select Parallel Port Mode.
7) Choose EPP mode.
8) Select
Save Changes
and
Exit
to save the new setting.
The server will then automatically reboot, the parallel port is now configured as an EPP port.
