Possible screen resolution

Depending on the operating system used the screen resolutions in the following
table refer to the screen controller on the system board. If you are using an external
screen controller, you will find details of supported screen resolutions in the
Operating Manual or Technical Manual supplied with the controller.
You can set the screen resolution under Windows 95 by selecting

Display - Settings.

Important notes

Boards with electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) may be identified by labels.

When you handle boards fitted with ESDs, you must observe the following points
under all circumstances:

• You must always discharge yourself (e.g. by touching a grounded object)

before working.

• Theequipmentandtoolsyouusemustbefreeofstaticcharges.

• Pull out the power plug before inserting or pulling out boards containing

ESDs.

• Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.

• Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs.

This field specifies the transfer mode for the IDE hard disk drive.

Standard One block is transferred for each interrupt (default entry).

The set number of blocks (sectors) is transferred for each interrupt.

LBA Translation - Addressing

This field enables and disables the LBA (Logical Block Addressing) mode. LBA
mode allows you to install and use IDE hard disks with a capacity of more than
528 Mbytes. If a hard disk supports LBA mode, you can use the full capacity of
the IDE hard disk.

Enabled If the hard disk supports LBA and it has a capacity of more than

528 Mbytes, the BIOS translates the hard disk parameters,
allowing the disk's full capacity to be used. This allows the disk's
full capacity to be used.
If the hard disk does not support LBA, its parameters are not
translated.
