Motherboard BIOS Configuration

UltraDMA-66 Controller

The EP-USB66 has its own onboard BIOS that will automatically configure any IDE

devices attached to the card. For this reason the user does not need to configure any

additional options in their BIOS for parameters, heads, sectors, etc.

Booting of the system and to what drives and/or controllers have boot priority are

dependant upon the motherboard’s BIOS. This is usually configurable in the

motherboard’s BIOS in the “BIOS Features Setup” section using the option named

“Boot sequence” (or similar). If the user wishes drives attached to the EP-USB66 to

have boot priority over any attached to the motherboard’s IDE controllers then they

should configure this option to have ‘SCSI’ first. The motherboard’s BIOS will

consider the EP-USB66 as a SCSI device for boot purposes.

USB Hub

Since the EP-USB66 card’s onboard USB is only a Hub device and not an actual USB

controller itself no options need to be configured in your BIOS. As long as your

system has a working USB controller and you have properly attached the included

loopback cable you can use the EP-USB66’s Hub to attached more USB devices.
