There are two more lines on the Main BIOS Setup Screen: ‘‘System Memory’’ and

‘‘Extended Memory.’’ These are display-only fields set by the BIOS. No user

interaction is required.

IDE Adapter Sub-Menus

There are two IDE adapter sub-menus: one for the master drive and one for the slave

drive. To use an EXM-HD, EXM-MX, or EXP-MX series mass storage unit, you

must configure a master adapter; the slave is optional, and not relevant to most

RadiSys hardware. To see the detailed characteristics of the device or to change the

device, choose the IDE Adapter 0 Master Sub-Menu to configure the fixed disk. The

following screen displays:

Autotype Fixed Disk

Use this option when setting up new disks. This option allows the BIOS to determine

the proper settings of the disk based on information on the disk, which is detected by

the EPC-8 BIOS for drives that comply with ANSI specifications. Use the ENTER

key to invoke this function.
