Changing System BIOS and Creating a Windows 2000 Image

Process Overview

Once you know the system is working as shipped, and you have

added the memory, the Avid boards, and the fan kit, you need to

make the proper changes to the BIOS and create a Windows 2000

image with an Avid configuration on the system disk.

This guide only explains the specific changes in the BIOS that Avid needs to

run its software. Leave the remaining default BIOS settings as shipped.

You will need to enter the BIOS and perform the following functions:

• Change MIDI settings if needed.

• Change the boot sequence.

• Insert the Avid Setup and Product Recovery CD-ROM into the

CD-ROM drive.

• Exit and save the system BIOS settings.

By going into the BIOS and saving the information, you are also saving the

changes the system detected when you added memory and the display

controller board.

Once you have exited and saved the BIOS, you must restart the

system, place the Avid Setup and Product Recovery CD-ROM into the

CD-ROM drive, and then reapply the Windows 2000 system with the

Avid configuration.

You should disconnect all external drives from the system prior to

continuing with this procedure so you do not lose data. You should

only have the original internal drives connected.
