Installation/Support Tips
Information Reference List
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 table 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 userdefined
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, use the SETUP
program to disable the built-in IDE hard disk drive
interface.

try the installation at high speed. If this does not work
properly, select low speed by pressing
Ctrl Alt - .
Try
loading the program at low speed and then switching to
high speed, if possible.
Cl 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 : .

you do:
1. Disable the password by setting DIP switch 4 on the main
system board to ON.
2. Then turn the computer on, wait 20 seconds, and turn it
off again.
3. Set
DIP switch

the system from unauthorized users. Once a password and
