SCSI Drive Limitations
The following procedures and operating limitations apply to systems whose only
hard drive is a SCSI device.
Booting from a CD
In systems with only a SCSI hard drive, it is not possible to boot from an IDE
CD-ROM drive.
Using the NEC OS Restore CD with a SCSI Drive
If a situation arises in which a full operating system restore must be performed
using the NEC OS Restore CD, first boot the system from the bootable diskette.
(This might be necessary, for example, if the system does not boot from the hard
drive.) The bootable diskette comes with all systems that have a SCSI hard
drive. After the system boots, proceed with the NEC OS Restore procedure.
Intel Processor Serial Number Control Utility
The Intel
®
Processor Serial Number Control utility is a Windows
®
program that
enables or disables the reading of the Pentium
®
III processor serial number by
software. This function lets you control which software programs or websites
have permission to read the processor serial number. When installed, the utility
runs automatically each time the system powers on.
This utility places an icon in the Windows system tray. The icon provides a
visual status of the processor serial number. You have the option of hiding the
system tray icon. You can disable the processor serial number at any time.
However, enabling the serial number requires restarting the system.
