For a PC Card modem, go to Advanced/Integrated Ports and disable serial port B.
See System Setup
for more information on using the BIOS Setup program.
To use a PC Card modem, take these additional steps:
1. Insert the PC Card modem into the PC Card adapter, and then restart the system.
2. In Devices/Modems in the Control Panel, use the Modem Wizard to auto-detect the PC
Card modem. Follow the directions displayed to select the proper driver software.
Booting from an External SCSI Disk Drive
If your system has access to an IDE or EIDE drive, it will attempt to boot from the drive. If
you install a SCSI adapter in your system, you can boot the system from an external SCSI
disk drive if you take the following steps.
To boot from an external SCSI disk drive:
1. Disconnect any IDE or EIDE disk drives from the primary and secondary IDE
controllers. The system’s BIOS will not accept a mixture of SCSI and IDE/EIDE
devices if the boot device is a SCSI disk drive.
2. Disconnect the CD-ROM drive from the secondary IDE controller and reconnect it to
the primary IDE controller.
3. Configure the BIOS for a SCSI system.
NOTE If you have more than one bootable SCSI adapter installed, the system BIOS will attempt to
start the system using a hard disk drive connected to the bootable SCSI adapter in the lowest
PCI slot. To start the system using a specific external SCSI hard disk drive, you must ensure
the drive’s SCSI adapter is installed physically lower in slot order than all other bootable
SCSI adapters.
See Chapter 4 for BIOS information. See Chapter 1 for device connection information.
If the CD-ROM drive is not visible in Windows NT after booting from a SCSI disk drive,
make sure that the AT Attachment Packet Interface (ATAPI) device is enabled.
To enable the ATAPI device in Windows NT:
1. Open Devices in the Control Panel. The Devices dialog displays.
2. Highlight atapi in the Device list; then select Startup. The Device dialog displays.
3. Under Startup Type, select Boot; then select OK.
4. In the Devices dialog, select Close.
