Installation/Support Tips

Installing Diskette Drives

Make sure that the drive type has been correctly selected in

the SETUP program.

Installing Hard Disk Drives

When installing a hard disk drive, see the hard disk drive

type tables on page 6 to select the correct type number for

the drive. If the parameters for your drive are not listed,

you can define your own drive type by selecting drive

type 47 and entering the drive’s exact parameters for this

user-defined drive type.
It is recommended that a 16-bit, AT-type hard disk

controller be used if you are installing a drive that cannot

use the embedded IDE interface. If you install a non-IDE

hard disk drive and controller card, you need to use the

SETUP program to disable the built-in IDE hard disk drive

interface.

Software Problems

 When installing a copy-protected software package, first

try the installation at high speed. If this does not work

properly, select low speed by pressing the 

Ctrl 

and 

Alt

keys and the - key on the numeric keypad

simultaneously. Try loading the program at low speed

and then switching to high speed, if possible.
When using a software package that uses a key disk as its

copy-protection method, try loading it at high speed. If

this does not work, load it at low speed.

Booting Sequence

If you cannot boot the computer from the hard disk, make

sure the booting sequence in SETUP is set to 

A: 

then C:.

Then boot the computer from a system diskette in drive A.

Password

Make sure that you do not forget the password you set up. If

you do:

Disable the password by setting DIP switch 4 on the main

system board to OFF.

Then turn the computer on and off again.

Set DIP switch 4 to ON to enable the password function.

Run SETUP to enter a new password, if desired.

You can also enter a hot key designation in SETUP to secure

the system from unauthorized users. Once a password and

hot key have been set, when the hot key is pressed, the

keyboard and mouse lock until the the user enters the

password.
