User`s guide

If you plan to remove your diskette drive and you have

installed EISA option cards, you must run the EISA

Configuration utility

before

you remove the drive because

the utility is contained on the Reference diskette. If you

want to leave a diskette drive installed, you can secure it by

setting a jumper to prevent diskette writes, disabling the

controller using the SETUP program, and locking the front

panel door that covers the drive. See Chapters 2, 3, 4, and 6

for more information.

Operating Your Computer from a Remote Location

If you want to operate your computer from a remote location,

you must redirect your computer’s input and output functions

to one of the serial ports. To do this, set one of the console

redirection options for COM1 or COM2 in either the SETUP

program or the EISA Configuration utility. See Chapters 2 and

3 for instructions.

If you need to run the EISA Configuration utility after you have

redirected the console, you must include the /B and /M

parameters to the SHELL= command line in the CONFIG.SYS

file on your Reference diskette so you can run the program. The

/B (BIOS video output) parameter causes the computer to use

BIOS video support routines at interrupt 10H for all video

output. The /M (Monochrome display) parameter causes the

computer to use monochrome video attributes even when the

display is directed to a color monitor.
