Defining your own drive type
If the parameters for your hard disk do not match the
parameters detected by the auto-sensing feature, you can
define your own drive type. (See Appendix A for a list of
predefine hard disk drive types and their parameters.)
To define your own drive type, follow these steps:
1. Move the cursor to Type and select user,
2. Type the values in each field that are appropriate for your
hard disk drive.
3. When you leave SETUP, make sure you save your changes.
Using the Advanced System Setup Options
When you select the Advanced System Setup option, you
see the Advanced System Setup screen, from which you can
configure the computer’s cache memory, shadow memory, and
parallel port. Your system can automatically configure the
Memory Cache and Memory Shadow options for you. To
avoid configuration problems, you should let the system
configure these options.
Configuring cache memory
The system can configure your Memory Cache options or
you can manually set them. If you have installed external
cache, enabling cache memory improves system perform ante,
especially in large data retrieval and processing environments.
You can configure the cache memory yourself, rather than let
the system configure it for you. However, it’s a good idea to let
the system automatically configure these options.
