2-4 Setup and Installation
RELEASE NOTES
The following is important system information that was not available when the PowerMate
Pro2200/2180 User’s Guide was printed.
Infrared (IR) Interface
Although the computer hardware supports the IR window on the front of the system,
Windows NT IR interface software is not available at this time. Please see the coupon
provided with your system for the future release of Puma Tranxit™ IR software for
Windows NT.
Unsupported Monitor Resolutions
The following NEC monitor resolutions are not supported.
XP21
default VGA, 640 by 480 by 256 and 1600 by 1200 by 256
XP17
640 by 480 by 256
M500
640 by 480 by 256
6FG
1024 by 760 by 256
If you have one of these monitors, at the stated resolutions you will experience screen
wavering. At the present time there is no fix for this except to avoid the resolutions.
Interrupt Assignment
The BIOS setup (under Advanced, Plug and Play Configuration) shows IRQ 5 as available.
On multimedia systems, IRQ 5 is reserved for sound. Do not configure other devices for
this interrupt. See Table 1-4 in Section 1 of this addendum for a list of interrupt level
assignments for each PowerMate Pro2200/2180 system configuration.
Secondary Drive Configuration
When ATA and Atapi devices are installed on the same channel, primary or secondary, the
ATA device must be configured as the master. Please be aware that the NEC
CD-ROM is an Atapi device configured as the master on the secondary channel. If an ATA
device is installed on this channel (such as a second hard drive), the NEC CD-ROM needs
to be reconfigured as the slave device.
