Manual Version 1.2 PCBoardCard: ISA-Slot PC Card Drive

2.1.3 Configuration with the altec BIOS Setup program
-

If the BIOS extension is enabled, the following message should appear during the POST
(Power  On Self Test) of the PC:

       “altec PCBoardCard BIOS Ver “    “press <ALT-S> for setup”

If setup is required, press ALT-S to access the altec Setup program in the altec ROM-
BIOS (Note!  the time available to press the key combination can be very short on fast
PC’s).  You should then see the configuration screen of the altec Setup program. The
configuration screen is subdivided into three sections and allows a variety of
configuration settings to be made.

The current entry field is highlighted. The following key allocation is used within the altec
Setup program:

Cursor Up

-> go to next entry field

Cursor Down

-> go to previous entry field

ESC

-> exit altec Setup program, changes are not stored

F10

-> store changes (after a prompt) and

exit altec Setup program

F6

-> set all entry fields to their default value

     

SPACE

-> change the value in the currently-active entry field

After exiting the Setup program, the PC is rebooted automatically in order to activate the
changes you have made. The entry fields have the following significance:

A) Section “General Configuration”
