General

Setting Up Your System for the First Time

When setting up your system for the first time, you should do so as follows:
1. Set up the basic system hardware as described in the system documentation. However, do
not connect any external peripherals to the system’s SCSI ports.
2. Start the system and complete operating system Setup as described in the system documentation.
3. Use the Windows NT Disk Administrator program to assign drive letter C to the primary system disk drive.
4. Connect any external peripherals to the system’s SCSI ports.
5. Configure the system as described in the system documentation.
This ensures that any system devices which require access to drive C, and which assume that drive C is the primary system disk drive, do not operate incorrectly or cause any operating system errors.

See Disk Administrator Help for instructions on assigning a drive letter.

Systems with More Than 2 GB of Memory

Because of an operating system limitation, an InterServe 650 or 660 with more than 2 GB of memory ships with only 2 GB configured for use, although all memory ordered is installed in the system. After completing Windows NT Setup, you must set the system’s BIOS to use all of the system’s memory.
If you reinstall the operating system, you must set the system’s BIOS to limit memory use to 2 GB before starting installation. After completing Windows NT Setup, you must reset the system’s BIOS to use all of the system’s memory.
NOTE The system’s BIOS must be at revision E (7640E.ROM) or greater.
To set the system’s BIOS to limit or not limit memory use:
1. Restart the system and, when prompted, press
2. In the BIOS Setup menu, select Advanced.
3. In the Advanced menu, select Use Only 2GB of Memory.
DELETE to run the BIOS Setup program.
