Configuring the SCSI Adapter
If you purchased the optional SCSI adapter, it was installed before shipment. You must install
the driver software for the adapter to use it. You may have to change system BIOS settings
and operating system settings to use SCSI devices attached to the adapter.
Refer to the documentation delivered with the SCSI adapter for detailed configuration
instructions. Refer to Chapter 6, “Expanding the System,” for information on adding SCSI
devices to the system. Refer to the operating system documentation and Help for information
on using SCSI peripherals.
Updating the Operating System
Microsoft Service Packs contain the latest improvements and system fixes for Microsoft
operating systems. Service Packs are created by Microsoft for post-release support. You can
obtain Service Packs from Microsoft’s World Wide Web and FTP sites free of charge.
CAUTION If Intergraph provides a Service Pack through the IBBS or with a product or system, it has
been certified against Intergraph hardware as described in the announcement of its
availability. If you obtain a Service Pack from any other source, be aware that it may not be
certified against your Intergraph hardware.
Configuring the BIOS
Your system’s basic input/output system (BIOS) records basic system operating parameters,
such as the amount of memory, the boot sequence, and the type of video display. The
system’s operating parameters are set in the BIOS before shipment, and you should not need
to change them immediately. However, you may want to configure some aspects of system
operation later by changing BIOS settings. To do this, you use the BIOS Setup utility.
The BIOS is stored in flash erasable-programmable memory (EPROM) on the system board,
and reads the system parameters in the system’s complementary metal-oxide semiconductor
(CMOS) random-access memory (RAM). When you turn off power to the system, a battery
provides power to CMOS RAM, which retains the system parameters. Each time you turn on
system power, the BIOS uses the stored parameters to configure the system.
To run the BIOS Setup program:
1. Restart the system.
2. When the BIOS version displays on screen, press
F
2 (on a TD-20) or
F
1 (on a TD-200).
