Microprocessor PCI Customer Development Platform User’s Manual
1-10
I have installed a hard disk with a
preinstalled operating system, but
the PCI CDP won’t access the hard
disk.
Check that the 40-wire IDE cable is properly connected
at both the drive end and the board end (board connector
J5 at location L4). Check that the CMOS setup is
configured correctly for your drive.
Make sure the board will start from a bootable diskette in
drive A. Then try to do a directory listing of drive C. If
the directory listing of C works, the drive is functioning
and there is a problem with the drive’s boot block or
system image. (Note that some operating systems will
display an error if you list an empty directory. If this
happens, try copying a file to the drive; then do a directory
listing again. If this fails, check the drive for boot block
viruses.)
Make sure the drive functions properly on a different
system.
There is a problem you cannot
resolve.
Check that the board is set to its default settings (see
Appendix A, “Default Settings”).
Contact the AMD Technical Support Hotline
(see page iii).
