Setting BIOS Options
The available BIOS options are:
• BIOS disabled enabled
• CD-ROM boot disabled/enabled
• 2 GB/8 GB drive geometry
BIOS Disable or Enable
This option must be enabled in order to toggle the CD-ROM boot and the
drive geometry parameters shown in the BIOS Options menu. The CD-ROM
BIOS must also be enabled in order to boot from any device (e.g., CD-ROM,
tape drive) or system drive configured on the controller, or to access any
DOS partition on any drive configured on the controller.
When BIOS Disable or Enable is selected, the following message will be
displayed. Pressing any key will restart the system.
CD-ROM Boot Disable or Enable
The default for this option is for the CD-ROM boot to be disabled (e.g., the
system will boot from a hard drive, even if there is a bootable CD installed).
If the CD-ROM boot option is enabled, and if a bootable CD is installed in
the CD-ROM drive, the system will boot from the CD.
If the CD-ROM boot option is enabled, the CD-ROM will take priority over
the disk drives. For example, under MS-DOS, the disk drive that is normally
Drive C will become Drive D. All subsequent drive IDs will similarly be
moved forward.
