4. Int 13 (This option is enabled by default):
Int 13 is a marker that registers if the arrays you have created are bootable. If it is
enabled then your computer will look to see if there is an operating system on any of the
arrays on your card. If it is not enabled, then your computer will not look for operating
systems on the array. Because Int 13 only affects whether your arrays are registered as
bootable, if you are running your arrays as data drives, without any Operating systems on
them, you can safely disable Int 13.
Enabling Int 13 can occasionally cause compatibility issues on motherboards. Some
motherboards that have SCSI controllers on them have difficulty operating properly when
Int 13 is enabled on card, and the SCSI controller is also set as a bootable device. Also
on some (generally older) motherboards enabling Int 13 may require you to adjust the
boot order in your BIOS.
If you are having difficulties booting with Int 13 enabled, there are two settings in the
BIOS you may need to modify, Boot Order, and Hard Drive Priority*. The Boot Order
function is the function that enables you to select the order in which the system looks for
bootable devices. This will include Hard drive, CD-ROMs, and floppies as options. Often
the boot order shown by default will be 1) Floppy 2) CD-Rom 3) Hard Drive. The Hard
Drive Priority, if it is available on your motherboard, is a subcategory normally located
near to the Boot Order that allows you to list the primary bootable hard drive. Generally, if
the Boot Order function on a motherboard lists more than one hard drive available than it
will not have a Hard Drive Priority function.
Because every motherboard BIOS is unique, you should refer to your motherboard
manual or technical support for the company that made your computer for specifics on
how to access the BIOS and modify these settings. If you wish to boot off of the
S-CURE™ card, ensure that the S-CURE™ card is the first hard drive listed under Hard
Drive Priority, and that it is the first hard drive with a bootable Operating System listed
under the Boot Order. If you have Int 13 enabled on the S-CURE™ card, but wish to boot
off of a drive or array not attached to the card, ensure that the drive you wish to boot off
of is the first hard drive listed under Hard Drive Priority, and that it is the first hard drive
with a bootable Operating System listed under the Boot Order.
*The exact names of these functions will vary depending on the motherboard, and not all
motherboards have Hard Drive Priority. Please refer to your motherboard manual or tech-
nical support for your computer if you are unsure of the location of these functions.
