Use the drop down menus to enable or disable controller functions.
Using the DOS mode utility (load.exe):
Load xxx.xxx –c
Note: “xxx.xxx” refers to the BIOS image file.
A BIOS menu similar to the BIOS setup utility will be displayed.
This sub-menu allows the administrator to enable/disable various controller
functions.
Several of the more common functions are described below:
Stop on Error – disabling this option will prompt the card to automatically
skip error messages during bootup (broken array warnings), if the adminis-
trator does not input the “Ctrl + H” command to access the BIOS menu.
EBDA Reallocation – this function refers to “Extended BIOS Data Area”.
Disabling this feature may remedy boot problems associated with
motherboards that halt after the RR2640X4 BIOS screen is displayed.
INT13 – The card’s boot function. Disabling this feature removes the card’s
ability to boot the system. This may be useful for systems that utilize
multiple bootable controllers – some motherboards may not be able to load
the BIOS of each device during bootup, which may impair the system’s
ability to boot from a specific device.
