Windows NT System Start-up
For systems using the Windows NT operating system, AlphaBIOS initializes the
video and keyboard devices first. Thus, if AlphaBIOS does not start when you turn
on your computer, check first to see that the keyboard is plugged in and working
and that the video card and monitor are properly connected and working. After the
video and keyboard are initialized, AlphaBIOS displays a windowed, graphical-
style user interface (UI), where progress is displayed as initialization continues.
Next, a memory test verifies that the memory is fully functioning. While the
memory test runs, it shows each megabyte (MB) of memory tested. If you do not
want to test memory during initialization, you can disable the test while it is
running by pressing the space bar, or use the CMOS Setup menu to disable it.
