Configuring a Tape Drive
If you purchased an internal tape drive with your system, it was installed before shipment.
On a system running Windows 95, you may have to install the driver software and any
associated applications software programs to use the tape drive. On a system running
Windows NT, you can use the Windows NT Backup tool to run the tape drive; select
Programs/Administrative Tools/Backup from the Start menu.
See the documentation delivered with the tape drive for configuration instructions. See the
device documentation, operating system documentation, and Help for information on using
the tape drive.
Configuring a Modem
If you purchased a modem with your system, you must ensure the BIOS settings and modem
jumpers are set appropriately, depending on which operating system and COM port you want
to use with the modem.
To configure the modem:
1. To use the modem with Windows NT, set the COM port jumper pins on the modem to
COM2. If that COM port is already in use, set the jumper to use a free COM port.
To use the modem with Windows 95, set the modem to Plug and Play mode according to
the vendor instructions included with the modem.
2. In the PCI/PnP menu in BIOS Setup, set the Boot to PnP Operating System parameter to
No if the operating system is Windows NT, or to Yes if the operating system is Windows
95.
3. The modem requires a specific COM port. You must free system resources for use with
the modem in BIOS Setup. Set one of the Onboard Serial Port parameters to Disabled
in the Peripheral menu in BIOS Setup, according to the following table:
Modem COM Port
