System Startup Procedure
Once you have installed the Winner 3A WA31273A / WA32543A / WA33203A /
WA32163A / WA31083A, Winner 2A WA32162A hard disk drive and the adapter board
(if required) in your system, you can to partition and format the drive for operation. To
setup the drive correctly, follow these instructions:
(1) Power on the system.
(2) Run the SETUP program. Generally, you will find the SETUP program on a
Diagnostics or Utilities disk, or within the system's BIOS (Basic Input Output
System).
The SETUP program allows you to enter the types of optional hardware installed - such
as the hard disk drive type, the floppy disk drive capacity, and the display adapter type.
The system's BIOS uses this information to initialize the system when the power is
switched on for instructions on how to use the SETUP program, refer to the system
manual for your PC.
(3) Enter the appropriate parameters for the Winner 3A WA31273A / WA32543A /
WA33203A / WA32163A / WA31083A, Winner 2A WA32162A
During the AT system CMOS setup, you must enter the drive type for Winner 3A
WA31273A / WA32543A / WA33203A / WA32163A / WA31083A, Winner 2A
WA32162A the hard disk drives. This procedure allows the system to recognize the
drive by translating its physical drive geometry parameters such as cylinders, heads,
and sectors, into a logical addressing mode.
The following table shows the logical parameters that provide the maximum capacity on
Winner 3A WA31273A / WA32543A / WA33203A / WA32163A / WA31083A, Winner
2A WA32162A.
