Setup Tips
Keep these tips in mind:
•
IDE drives - When IDE drives are added, the user must manually
go into Setup and do the autodetect function.
•
Monitor settings - If shipping a non-DDC monitor with the system,
the monitor setting should be set optimally for the monitor being
shipped with the system.
•
Plug and Play O/S - Set according to the characteristics of the OS
being preloaded. Windows 95

is a Plug and Play OS. Windows
3.1x

(and WFW 3.1x) is a Plug and Play OS when the Intel
Configuration Manager (CM)

and Intel Configuration Utility
(ICU)

are preloaded on the system.
Note:
When the Plug and Play configuration manager (dwcfgmgr.sys)
is loaded high, the workstation may reboot. It will load low with no
difficulty. While the readme file implies that the NOEMS option can
exist on the EMM386.EXE parameter line in CONFIG.SYS, experience
has shown that this is not the best option. It is best to remove the
NOEMS option and replace it with RAM or AUTO, if there is a need to
reduce the amount of EMS being reserved by EMM386.EXE. With the
RAM option, the amount can be reduced to as little as 64 KB, if the user
specifies.
•
Large Disk Access - Set according to the OS and size of the drive.
For the Series 4000 boards, keep these additional tips in mind:
•
To support booting from the parallel CD ROM device, the on-board
LAN components must be disabled. This is done in the Multiple
ROM Menu from the Advanced configuration screen.
•
To use a WaveLAN ISA board with SLP download capability, all
option ROMs must be disabled from the multiple ROM menu.
