Connecting Speakers and a Microphone
If the system includes separate powered speakers and a microphone, connect the speakers to
the Line Out port on the audio card, and connect the microphone to the Microphone port on
the audio card. Connect the speaker power AC adapter to the appropriate speaker(s), and
6
then to a grounded, three-prong AC wall outlet. See the audio card documentation delivered
with the system for more detailed connection information.
If the system includes a multimedia keyboard, see the multimedia keyboard documentation
delivered with the system for connection information.
After you start the system for the first time, you may want to change the microphone’s BIAS
setting to ensure the microphone works properly with the system. You can locate the Mic
BIAS setting on the Microphone panel of the Ensoniq Mixer in Windows NT 4.0 and on the
Settings tab of the Windows 95 driver. If desired, apply a 30-dB gain to the microphone
input by checking the Boost box in the Microphone panel of the Ensoniq Mixer.
NOTEDisable the BIAS power if you use a dynamic microphone. Distortion may occur if BIAS
power is enabled with some dynamic microphones.
Connecting an External SCSI Device
If your system includes an optional SCSI adapter card, you can connect internal and external
SCSI devices, such as hard disk drives or tape drives, to the system. Internal SCSI devices
included in the system are already connected to the internal channel of the SCSI adapter.
You can connect external devices to the external port on the SCSI adapter.
The SCSI adapter card is designed to support Ultra Wide SCSI devices. Ultra Wide SCSI
provides a maximum data transfer rate of 40 MB per second. If you connect a non-Ultra
Wide SCSI device to the adapter, data transfer rates are limited to the speed of that device.
CAUTIONUsing a non-compliant SCSI-1 device with your system may cause your system to stop
working or lead to other unpredictable results.
You can connect up to seven external single-ended SCSI devices to an installed SCSI
adapter. However, the number of drives and length of the cables used to connect the drives
is a factor when using SCSI-1, Fast SCSI (SCSI-2), Ultra SCSI, and Wide Ultra SCSI drives.
Fast SCSI, Ultra SCSI, and Wide Ultra SCSI impose shorter cable restrictions than SCSI-1.
The total length of the SCSI cabling must not exceed the following:

OpenGL Performance and Custom Cursors (Windows NT)
Windows NT features custom cursors, such as decorated or animated cursors, in place of the
standard cursor. If you use a custom cursor while running an OpenGL program,
performance may decrease whenever you position the cursor in that program’s window. For
optimum performance of OpenGL programs, Intergraph Computer Systems recommends
that you use only the standard cursors.
Multiple Screen Display (Windows NT)
If your system is set up for dual- or triple-screen display, the video display driver treats the
combined display area as a single canvas that covers all screens. In this Full Canvas style,
windows centered on the canvas are split between screens. This includes most system dialog
boxes. For details, see the video display adapter documentation and Help delivered with the
system, and the
README.TXT files delivered with the video display drivers.

4Configuring the BIOS
This chapter describes how to use the AMIBIOS Setup program, and how to reprogram the
system’s basic input/output system (BIOS) if needed. Use the information in this chapter if
you want to configure aspects of system operation by changing the BIOS settings, or by
updating the BIOS to take advantage of later enhancements.
The system’s BIOS records basic system operating parameters, such as the amount of
memory, the boot sequence, and the type of video display. The operating parameters are set
in the BIOS before shipment.
The BIOS is stored in flash erasable-programmable memory (EPROM) on the system board,
and reads the system parameters in the system’s complementary metal-oxide semiconductor
(CMOS) random-access memory (RAM). When you power off the system, a lithium battery
provides power to CMOS RAM to retain the operating parameters. Each time you power on
the system, the BIOS uses stored parameters to configure the system.
The AMIBIOS Setup program (referred to as BIOS Setup), which is also stored in the flash
EPROM on the system board, allows you to manually change the system operating
parameters. A flash programming utility allows you to reprogram the BIOS if needed.

Set this option to Yes to inform the BIOS that the operating system can handle plug and Play
(PnP) devices. The settings are No or Yes. The Optimal and Fail-Safe settings are No.
PCI Latency Timer (PCI Clocks)
This option specifies the latency timings (in PCI clocks) for PCI devices installed in the PCI
expansion slots. The settings are 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224, or 248. The Optimal and
Fail-Safe settings are 32.
PCI VGA Palette Snoop
When this option is set to Enabled, multiple VGA devices operating on different buses can
handle data from the processor on each set of palette registers on every video device. Bit 5 of
the command register in the PCI device configuration space is the VGA Palette Snoop bit (0
is disabled). For example, if there are two VGA devices in the system (one PCI and one
ISA):
39
VGA Palette Snoop Bit
Action
DisabledData read and written by the processor is only directed to the PCI
VGA device’s palette registers.
EnabledData read and written by the processor is directed to the both the
PCI VGA device’s palette registers and the ISA VGA device
palette registers, permitting the palette registers of both devices
to be identical.
This option must be set to Enabled if any ISA adapter card installed in the system requires
VGA palette snooping. The Optimal and Fail-Safe settings are Disabled.
PCI IDE Bus Master
Set this option to Enabled to specify that the IDE controller on the PCI bus has bus
mastering capability. The settings are Disabled or Enabled. The Optimal and Fail-Safe
settings are Enabled.
40
Offboard PCI IDE Card
This option specifies if an off-board PCI IDE controller adapter card is used in the system.
You must also specify the PCI expansion slot on the system board where the off-board PCI
IDE controller card is installed. If an off-board PCI IDE controller is used, the system
board’s on-board IDE controller is automatically disabled. The settings are Disabled, Auto,
Slot1, Slot2, Slot3, Slot4, Slot5, or Slot6.
If Auto is selected, the BIOS automatically determines the correct setting. The Optimal and
Fail-Safe default are Auto. This option forces IRQ 14 and 15 to a PCI slot on the PCI local
bus. This is necessary to support non-compliant PCI IDE adapter cards.
DMA Channel #
These options allow you to specify the bus type used by each DMA channel. The settings are
PnP or ISA/EISA. The Optimal and Fail-Safe settings are PnP.
IRQ#
These options specify the bus that the specified IRQ line is used on. These options allow you
to reserve IRQs for legacy ISA adapter cards. These options determine if the BIOS should
remove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the
system BIOS. The available IRQ pool is determined by reading the ESCD non-volatile RAM
(NVRAM). If more IRQs must be removed from the pool, you can use these options to
reserve the IRQ by assigning an ISA/EISA setting to it.
Onboard I/O is configured by the BIOS. All IRQs used by on-board I/O are configured as
PCI/PnP. IRQ 12 only appears if the Mouse Support option in Advanced Setup is set to
Disabled. IRQ 14 and 15 are not available if the on-board PCI IDE is enabled. If all IRQs
are set to ISA/EISA and IRQ 14 and 15 are allocated to the on-board PCI IDE, IRQ 9 will
still be available for PCI and PnP devices, because at least one IRQ must be available for PCI
and PnP devices.
The settings are ISA/EISA or PCI/PnP. The Optimal and Fail-Safe settings are PCI/PnP.
Reserved Memory Size
This option specifies the size of the memory area reserved for legacy ISA adapter cards. The
settings are Disabled, 16K, 32K, or 64K. The Optimal and Fail-Safe settings are Disabled.
Reserved Memory Address
This option specifies the beginning address (in hex) of the reserved memory area. The
specified ROM memory area is reserved for use by legacy ISA adapter cards. This option
does not appear if the Reserved Memory Size option is set to Disabled. The settings are
C0000, C4000, C8000, CC000, D0000, D4000, D8000, or DC000. The Optimal and FailSafe default settings are C8000.
Peripheral Menu
Select Peripheral Setup from the BIOS Setup main menu to display the Peripheral Setup
options.
Onboard FDC
Set this option to Enabled to enable the floppy disk drive controller on the system board.
The settings are Auto (the BIOS automatically determines if the floppy disk drive controller
should be enabled), Enabled, or Disabled. The Optimal and Fail-Safe settings are Auto.
Onboard Serial Port#
This option specifies the base I/O port address of each serial (COM) port. The settings are
Auto (the BIOS automatically determines the correct base I/O port address), Disabled, 3F8h,
2F8h, 2E8h, or 3E8h. The Optimal and Fail-Safe settings are Auto.
41
Serial Port2 Mode
This option specifies the operating mode for serial (COM) port 2. This option only appears
if the Onboard Serial Port2 option is not set to Disabled. The settings are IrDA (Infrared
Dealer’s Association protocol), ASK IR (Ask Computer Company infrared protocol), or
Standard. The Optimal and Fail-Safe settings are Standard.
Onboard Parallel Port
This option specifies the base I/O port address of the parallel (LPT) port. The settings are
Disabled, Auto (the BIOS automatically determines the correct setting, 378, 278, or 3BC.
The Optimal and Fail-Safe settings are Auto.
Parallel Port Mode
This option specifies the operating mode for the parallel (LPT) port. The settings are:
Setting
Description
NormalThe normal parallel port mode is used.
EPPThe parallel port can be used with devices that adhere to the Enhanced Parallel
Port (EPP) specification. EPP uses the existing parallel port signals to provide
asymmetric bi-directional data transfer driven by the host device.
42
SettingDescription
ECPThe parallel port can be used with devices that adhere to the Extended
The Optimal and Fail-Safe settings are Normal.
Onboard IDE
This option specifies the IDE channel used by the on-board IDE controller. The settings are
Disabled, Primary, Secondary, or Both. The Optimal and Fail-Safe settings are Both.
Security Menu

Capabilities Port (ECP) specification. ECP uses the DMA protocol to achieve
data transfer rates up to 2.5 Megabits per second. ECP provides symmetric bidirectional communication.
Supervisor, User
To prevent unauthorized users from accessing BIOS Setup, you can enter a password on both
of the Supervisor and User menus. If you do not enter a password, the system will not
prompt users for a password when they run BIOS Setup. These passwords do not affect the
system logon password.
NOTEThe Advanced Setup menu contains the Password Checking option that enables the system
to use the passwords you enter.
To enter a password:
1. Select the Password icon. The Password menu displays.
2. Type the characters (maximum of six) for the password, and then press

Anti-Virus
The Anti-Virus setting is only relevant for floppy diskettes. Hard disk drives are not checked
by this option. When Anti-Virus is Enabled, diskettes cannot be formatted unless a quick
format is executed, which does not write to Track 0 on the diskette. A format that writes to
Track 0 will not be performed. The default is Disabled to allow formatting of diskettes in all
circumstances.
Utility Menu
Use the options in the Utility Menu to change the language used in BIOS Setup, and to
automatically detect and configure any IDE drives you connect to the system.
Language
The default is English.

they do not provide optimal system performance.
Select the Original icon to load the last-saved BIOS settings.
44
Optimal
Select the Optimal icon to load the best-case BIOS values. When reprogramming the BIOS,
select this option after running the flash programming utility and restarting the system to
ensure the new BIOS values are used.
Fail-Safe
Select the Fail-Safe icon to load the basic BIOS settings. System performance may be poor
when the Fail-Safe BIOS is selected. Use this mode only to troubleshoot problems with
booting the system.
Reprogramming the BIOS
You can use the flash programming utility (FPU) to reprogram the system board’s flash
EPROM with a new BIOS. When run, FPU first looks on the diskette in the floppy disk
drive for a valid BIOS.
The FPU is an MS-DOS utility that will not run in the Windows NT environment. The
system must be set to boot from the floppy disk drive (usually drive A).
When you reprogram the flash EPROM, resource assignments for ISA option boards and PC
Card devices are lost. Your system may have installed ISA option boards or PC Card
devices that require specific system resources such as interrupts (IRQs) or input/output (I/O)
port addresses. If so, after reprogramming the BIOS, you must run the BIOS Setup program
and reallocate the system resources as needed.
The FPU is available from the Support pages on the Intergraph Computer Systems World
Wide Web site and from the Intergraph Bulletin Board Service (IBBS). Look for the
FLASHUTIL system software product for TDZ 2000 GL1 or ExtremeZ GL1 systems. See the
Preface of this document for details.
CAUTIONReprogramming the flash EPROM erases all the parameter settings in the BIOS. If you
customized any BIOS settings, record them before reprogramming the flash EPROM.
To reprogram the BIOS:
1. Record the BIOS parameter settings for your system. To do this, restart the system and
run the BIOS Setup program. Write down the setting for each parameter, and then exit
from BIOS Setup and let the system continue to boot.
2. Download the
directory on your system from the Intergraph Computer Systems Support pages on the
World Wide Web or the Intergraph Bulletin Board Service (IBBS).
FLASHUTIL product for the TDZ 2000 GL1 or ExtremeZ GL1 to a
3. Use an unzip utility to open FLASHUTIL and extract the files from it.
4. Insert a blank, formatted diskette into the system’s floppy disk drive.
45
5. In the directory containing the
FLASHUTIL files, run INSTALL.BAT. This creates a boot
diskette with the new BIOS file and the BIOS flash programming utility.
6. After
INSTALL.BAT completes, leave the diskette in the floppy disk drive and restart the
system.
7. At the MS-DOS command prompt, run amiflash to update the current BIOS. For
example, if the BIOS file on the diskette is named
AMIBOOT.ROM, key in the following to
update the BIOS:
amiflash amiboot.rom
8. After the BIOS is updated, you are prompted to press a key to restart the system.
Remove the diskette from the floppy disk drive and label it BIOS Update date, where
date is today’s date.
Press a key to restart the system. As the system boots, press
F1 when you see a message
like the following:
CMOS settings are wrongPress F1 to resume
9. Make sure that all parameter settings match the settings you recorded before you
updated the BIOS.
10. Save changes and exit from BIOS Setup, and let the system continue to boot.
Assigning System Resources for Option Cards
Some ISA cards, PnP cards, PC cards (PCMCIA), and non-compliant PCI cards include a
configuration diskette that you can use to reserve the system resources required for the board.
Other option boards and PC Card devices do not include a diskette, but require that you
manually enter the configuration information.
Refer to the documentation delivered with the option card to determine the resources that
provide the best performance for the adapter. Use BIOS Setup to assign the resources for
each option card.

Observing Operating Precautions
Observe the following precautions when operating the system:
u
When restarting the system, use the operating system controls instead of turning the
power switch off and on. Use the power switch only when instructed, or as the last
alternative for restarting the system.
u
Never turn off power to the base unit when the disk access LED is lit.
u
After turning off power to the base unit, wait at least 30 seconds before turning the
power on again, to ensure that the disk drives have stopped and the system has powercycled properly.
u
Run virus scan software periodically to ensure that your system’s files and programs are
not corrupted.
Using InterSite Programs
55
Your system shipped with several InterSite programs, including the following:
u
InterSite Version Manager is a tool for creating system software backup diskettes, and
for updating device drivers and other system software products installed on the system.
u
InterSite DMI Console gives easy access to the system’s status and configuration
information. The Console is based on the Desktop Management Interface (DMI),
through a window containing a graphical information tree view pane, a service provider
component information pane, and a message pane. Designed for Windows NT, DMI
Console works with the Desktop Management Interface (DMI), a technology standard
that enables the effective management of personal computers.
u
InterSite Hardware Monitor is an easy-to-use interface to instrumentation data measured
by sensors inside the computer. Event information is reported to the Windows NT
Event Log and displayed graphically.
u
InterSite Watchdog is a system monitoring tool with remote monitoring capabilities.
You can install Watchdog on a system running the Windows NT, and use it to monitor
workstations and servers also running Windows NT.
From the operating system Start menu, go to Programs/InterSite to find the InterSite
programs on your system. See the online Help for each InterSite program for more
information on how to use the program.
56
Updating an Emergency Repair Disk or a Startup
Diskette
You may have created an Emergency Repair Disk (Windows NT) or a Startup diskette
(Windows 95) during first-time startup, or through InterSite Welcome. If you did not, you
should create the appropriate diskette after you finish configuring the system. If you did, you
should update it any time you change the configuration of the system. The files on the
Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk can restore the original contents of a damaged
operating system Registry (that is, at the time the operating system was installed), along with
the standard operating system drivers. Use the Startup diskette to start the system in the
event you have trouble starting Windows 95.
See the operating system documentation for information on creating an Emergency Repair
Disk or a Startup diskette.
Ensuring PC Card Support and Operation
The optional PC Card adapter is used with devices based on standards developed by the
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA). Windows NT and
Windows 95 provide support for PC Card devices. See the operating system documentation
and Help for more information on PC Card device support.
If you will be using a PC Card hard disk device (ATA or AT type) with a system running
Windows NT, make sure the device drivers that control PC Card hard disk operation are set
to start correctly. Set the Atdisk device to start as a System device; set the Pcmcia device to
start as a Boot device. Do this before inserting a PC Card hard disk device in the PC Card
adapter. If you do not, anomalous behavior may result -- for example, the PC Card hard disk
drive may not be detected by Windows NT, or may be detected as the system drive (drive C).
NOTEYou must shut down the system before inserting a PC Card device in the PC Card adapter.
When you restart the system, Windows NT will recognize the PC Card device.
To change the startup type for device drivers that control PC Card hard disks:
1. Open Devices in the Control Panel. The Devices dialog displays.
2. Highlight the Atdisk device in the Device list; then select Startup. The Device dialog
displays.
3. Under Startup Type, select System; then select OK.
4. Highlight the Pcmcia device in the Device list; then select Startup. The Device dialog
displays.
5. Under Startup Type, select Boot; then select OK.
6. In the Devices dialog, select Close.
Windows 95 OSR 2.5 and the Active Desktop
If you purchased a system with Windows 95, it shipped with Windows 95 OEM Service
Release 2.5 (Microsoft Windows 95 4.00.950 C). Windows 95 OSR 2.5 integrates Internet
Explorer version 4.01 into the operating system.
When you start your system for the first time, Internet Explorer installs at the end of
Windows 95 Setup. You will notice that it takes several minutes for Internet Explorer to
complete its installation. After Internet Explorer installs, Active Desktop is enabled by
default.
Active Desktop appears as follows:
u
The desktop displays a black background, with Active Desktop in the lower right
corner.
57
u
An active channel bar displays on the right side of the desktop.
u
The operating system’s desktop menus appear in a browser-style interface.
If you prefer the standard Windows 95 interface, you can disable Active Desktop.
To disable Active Desktop:
1. Right-click the desktop, and then click Active Desktop−Customize my desktop.
2. In the Web tab of the Display Properties dialog, clear the check boxes for View My
Active Desktop as a Web Page and Internet Explorer Channel Bar.
3. You will be prompted that the wallpaper selected can be shown only with Active
Desktop. Select No, I do not want to enable Active Desktop.
4. Click OK.
Accessing the Audio System Mixer
On systems shipped from the factory with a multimedia option, you have quick access to the
audio system’s Mixer program. The Mixer program replaces the default operating system
Volume Control program.
58
To display the audio system’s Mixer program, do one of the following:
u
Click the speaker icon on the operating system taskbar.
u
From the Start menu, select Programs/Accessories/Multimedia/Volume Control.
If you reinstall the operating system, or install a system audio option on a system that did not

Booting from an External SCSI Disk Drive
If your system has access to an IDE or EIDE drive, it will attempt to boot from the drive. If
you install a SCSI adapter in your system, you can boot the system from an external SCSI
disk drive if you take the following steps.
To boot from an external SCSI disk drive:
1. Disconnect any IDE or EIDE disk drives from the primary and secondary IDE
controllers. The system’s BIOS will not accept a mixture of SCSI and IDE/EIDE
devices if the boot device is a SCSI disk drive.
2. Disconnect the CD-ROM drive from the secondary IDE controller and reconnect it to
the primary IDE controller.
3. Configure the BIOS for a SCSI system.
See Chapter 4, “Configuring the BIOS,” for BIOS configuration information. See Chapter
1, “Setting Up the Hardware,” for device connection information.
If the CD-ROM drive does not appear in the Windows NT operating system after booting
from a SCSI disk drive, make sure that the AT Attachment Packet Interface (ATAPI) device
is enabled.
To enable the ATAPI device in Windows NT:
1. Open Devices in the Control Panel. The Devices dialog displays.
59
2. Highlight atapi in the Device list; then select Startup. The Device dialog displays.
3. Under Startup Type, select Boot; then select OK.
4. In the Devices dialog, select Close.
Using Hardware Security Features
The system provides you with security features designed to help prevent unauthorized
tampering with the internal components.
A security tab is located at the top left of the chassis under the top cover. You can place a
small padlock or a security seal in the hole on the tab to prevent removal of the left side
panel.
A tamper-indicating Factory Quality Seal is affixed to the main chassis and left side panel
security tab. The seal is your assurance that the unit has not been opened since it left the
factory. When removed, the word “VOID” appears on the seal. Removing the seal does not
void your warranty.
See the System Reference for details on removing the system’s top cover and side panels.

8Using System Resources
This chapter provides information on using system resources, such as interrupt requests
(IRQs) and basic input/output system (BIOS) parameter settings, to configure the system to
use additional option boards. The chapter covers specific Peripheral Component
Interconnect (PCI) and Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) devices offered by Intergraph
as system options. Intergraph Computer Systems has determined that the devices discussed
in this chapter require specific resource settings to ensure proper system operation.
See Chapter 4, “Configuring the BIOS,” for information on running the BIOS Setup
program and changing BIOS parameter settings.

Using System Resources
Most ISA devices installed in the system require you to reserve an IRQ. PCI devices also
need to use an IRQ, but since they share system resources they can use the same IRQ. At
least one IRQ must be left unassigned, for use with any PCI devices installed in your system.
The system has a limited number of open IRQs. To install more ISA devices than you have
open IRQs, you must disable one unused system port for each excess ISA device, unless the
device does not require an IRQ.
To reserve an IRQ for an installed device:
1. Restart the system and start the BIOS Setup program.
2. On the PCI/PnP screen, select the IRQ you want to reserve.
3. Change the setting for the selected IRQ to ISA/EISA.
4. Save the changes and exit from the BIOS Setup program.
The following expansion cards require specific system resource settings, as noted:
85
Expansion card
(installed in the system)
First modem (Windows NT)COM3, IRQ 4Disable serial port 1 (COM1);
Second modem (Windows NT)COM2, IRQ 3Disable serial port 2 (COM2);
First parallel printer adapterBase address 278None
Second parallel printer adapterBase address 3BCNone
3Com network adapterIRQ 10 (default)Reserve IRQ 10
On a system running Windows 95, ensure the following system resources are set as noted:

PCI Devices
The system’s PCI expansion slots comply with the PCI 2.1 specification. Devices that
comply with the PCI 2.1 specification are fully plug-and-play. You do not have to configure
them after installation.
Some older PCI device drivers cannot share an interrupt, which is a violation of the PCI 2.1
specification. If you install a device that uses such a driver, you must free an IRQ for the
device to work in the system.
Ultra SCSI Systems
The optional Adaptec AHA-2940 SCSI adapter card comes with Ultra SCSI mode disabled
by default. If you want to enable Ultra SCSI mode, you must use the SCSISelect Utility to
make the change.
To enable Ultra SCSI mode:
1. Restart the system. During the reboot, press
CTRL+A to start the SCSISelect Utility.
86
2. Select Configure/View Host Adapter Settings.
3. Select Advanced Configuration Options.
4. Select Support for Ultra SCSI Speed.
5. Change the value Disabled to Enabled.
6. Press
ESC twice to exit the SCSISelect Utility.
7. In the Save Changes Made dialog, select Yes.
8. Press
ESC.
9. In the Exit Utility dialog, select Yes.
10. Press any key to reboot.
See the SCSI adapter documentation delivered with the system for more information on
