General
System Audio
If you change the default IRQ assignments in the system BIOS or if you reprogram the BIOS, you
must set the Sound Blaster 16 audio card’s IRQ to 5 using the driver’s
SETUP
.
EXE
program. The
SETUP
.
EXE
program is part of the
SNDBLSTNTDRV
system software product available in InterSite
Version Manager. For instructions on reinstalling the driver software, see the
README

delivered with the driver. See System Setup for information on configuring the BIOS.
SCSI Disk Drive Configurations
The system attempts to boot from an IDE drive before it attempts to boot from a SCSI drive. Do
not restart the system with a bootable CD in the CD-ROM drive.
You can change the system’s boot device order in the system BIOS to boot first from a diskette,
then from a SCSI disk drive, and then from the ATAPI CD-ROM drive. See System Setup for
information on using BIOS Setup to do this.
Symbios SCSI Controller
Your system may hang intermittently while booting, at the “Z” logo screen with a blinking cursor
or after scanning the devices connected to the Symbios SCSI controller. If this happens:
1.
Restart the system and run BIOS Setup.
2.
Go to Advanced CMOS Setup.
3.
Disable Quick Boot.
4.
Save the change and exit from BIOS Setup.
See System Setup for information on using BIOS Setup. This procedure marks unused IDE ports
as “not installed,” so you must repeat it if you add any IDE devices later.
You may need to use the SCSI Configuration Utility to configure the operation of SCSI peripherals
connected to the controller. You can find the SCSI Configuration Utility (
PCI
_
CFG
.
EXE
) on the
SYSUTIL
diskette delivered with the system. This utility lets you configure the SCSI controller,
perform a low-level format on a SCSI disk drive, select boot order, and verify media. See SCSI
Configuration Utility Help for instructions on using the SCSI Configuration Utility.
