System BIOS
Please note the following items related to the system BIOS:
♦
The troubleshooting information in the System Setup document contains a list of beep codes
and associated error messages. You can disregard these codes and messages, as they are not
used by the TDZ 2000. If your system powers on but does not display any video, check for
proper installation of the memory modules and the video display adapter.
♦
The BIOS Setup options Floppy Access Control and IDE Hard Disk Access Control (used to
write-protect these devices) have no effect under Windows NT. Windows NT does not use
the BIOS for peripheral device access.
♦
Immediately after installing a Symbios SCSI adapter card, you must run the Symbios SCSI
Configuration Utility (
PCI
_
CFG
.
EXE
) to disable SCAM on the SCSI adapter card, and to
change the Adapter Boot Order to include the SCSI adapter card. The correct boot order is as
follows:
Boot Order Bus / Device Description
0 0 / 60 Internal SCSI channel
1 0 / 61 External SCSI channel
2 Varies / Varies Symbios SCSI adapter card
The bus and device numbers for the card depend on the slot in which the card is installed.
Your System Setup document may not have information on BIOS power management options.
Select Power Management in the BIOS Setup main menu to display these options.
