We recommend you use Disk Manager to evaluate your BIOS
and determine whether your system needs additional BIOS sup-
port. If your BIOS needs support for drives with capacities
greater than 8.4 Gbytes, instructions will be provided. For more
information, see “Installation using Disk Manager” on page 14.
