Localized Versions

Power Management

Pressing the system’s Power b ut t on momentarily does not r un Automatic Shutdown. You can r un the utility from the operating system taskbar tray, or from Start » Automatic Shutdown Utility » Automatic Shutdown Utility. See the System Guide for more information on Automatic Shutdown.
ACPI power settings that control what happens when you press the system's Power button are not available. You can find these options by going to Start » Settings » Control Panel » Power Options » Advanced. Regardless of the setting, the system powers off when you press its Power button.
Using current versions of Hardware Monitor and ECC Memory Monitor software prevents the use of Hibernate or Standby modes. Updated versions that allow the use of these modes will be posted to SGI’s online services when available.
You cannot use Hibernate or Standby modes on a system with these video controllers: Intense3D Wildcat 4210, 4110 VIO, 4105, 4000, 3510.

Device Manager

If your system has a SAF-TE card installed on the RAID disk drive cage, Device Manager displays the card under ? Other Devices. Despite this designation, the card is working properly.
Device Manager may display an error (!) for the VGA Controller on the following video controllers: Intense3D Wildcat 4210, 4110 VIO, 4105, 4000, 3510. You may ignore this designation, as it does not affect their operation:

Wildcat Graphics Driver

If you reinstall Windows 2000 on a system with Intense3D Wildcat graphics, you must install the driver software for the Wildcat graphics controller after completing Windows 2000 Setup.

To install Wildcat graphics driver software in Windows 2000:
1. Log on to Windows 2000 using an account that has administrative privileges.
2. Insert the system’s driver CD in the system’s CD-ROM drive.
3. Right click My Computer a nd go to Manage » Device Manager » Other Devices » Video
Controller » Driver » Update Driver.
4. When the Upgrade Device Driver Wizard displays, click Next.
5. Select Search for a suitable driver for my device (recommended), and then click Next.
6. Make sure the Disk 1 folder for the Wildcat driver on the system's driver CD is selected as the search location, and then click OK.
7. Under Driver Files Search Results, click Next to start the installation.
8. Change to the Disk 2 folder for the Wildcat driver when prompted, and then click OK to continue with the installation.
9. Once the driver successfully installs, click Close.
CAUTION Windows 2000 recognizes the dual pipelines in a W ildcat 4110 or 4210 graphics
controller as two devices. Repeat Steps 2 through 7 to complete the installation for the VGA-compatible video controller driver.
10. Restart the computer.

Mylex RAID Controller Driver

When installing Windows 2000 on a system with a Mylex 150 RAID controller, do not update the controller’s driver software during Windows 2000 Setup. When Setup completes, update the Mylex RAID driver software using the driver delivered on the system’s driver CD.

BIOS Requirement

BIOS version 01.00.07.00 or later is required for Windows 2000.

Windows NT

Setup and the Network Controller Driver

CAUTION When going through Windows NT Setup (for the first time or to reinstall Windows
When going through Setup for the fir s t time on a system running Windows NT Server, do the following when asked if you want Setup to search for the network adapter:
1. Click Select from List and then click Have Disk.
NT), do not let Setup auto-detect and configure the system’s network controller. If you do, the system may fail to operate correctly.

2. In the text box, replace A: with \winnt\pro100plus, and then click OK. On a system with Japanese Windows NT Server, replace A: with C: and then click OK.
3. When prompted to select the OEM option, click Intel PRO Adapter and then click OK.
When going through Setup at all other ti mes, complete Setup without auto-detecting the system’s
network controller. When Setup completes, install the network controller driver software manually from diskette.

Event Viewer Message at Startup

If you see a message in the Windows NT Event Viewer stating that the “description for Event ID (6008) could not be found,” you may safely ignore it.

External SCSI Disk Drive

When you connect an external SCSI disk drive to your system, you may find that Windows NT tries to boot from the external disk drive instead of from the system disk. If this happens, you must change the boot order in the SCSI controller BIOS and then change the system disk drive letter.
To change the boot order in the SCSI controller BIOS:
1. Restart the system and, when prompted, press
CTRL+C to run the SCSI Configuration Utility.
2. Go to Adapter Boot Order and change the boot order of the adapters. Change the adapter with boot order 0 to 1, and change the adapter with boot order 1 to 0.
3. Press
ESC to save the change and exit from the SCSI Configuration Utility.
The external disk drive will now be disk drive C and the internal system disk drive will have another disk drive letter.
To change the system disk drive letter:
1. Go to Disk Administrator on the Administrative Tools program menu.
2. Select disk drive C (the external disk drive).
3. From the Tools menu, click Assign Drive Letter, and then assign a new disk drive letter to the external disk drive.
4. If a dialog states the disk drive cannot be locked, click OK, and then click Commit Changes Now from the Partition menu.
5. Exit from Disk Administrator. If required, restart the system to make the change take effect.
6. Log on to W i ndows NT and rep eat steps 1 thro ugh 5, selecting the internal system disk drive and assigning disk drive letter C to it. If another device is using disk drive letter C, you may have to repeat these steps again.
4
If you reinstall Windows NT on your system, the external disk drive will be disk drive C and the internal system disk drive will have another disk drive letter. You must install Windows NT on the internal system disk drive, not
on disk drive C (the external disk drive). After you complete installation, you must change the system disk drive letter as described above. For more information on changing disk drive letters, see Disk Administrator Help.

Adaptec Easy CD Creator

Easy CD Creator will not install properly if other programs are running in the background . Before
installing Easy CD Creator, go to Start » Settings » Control Panel » Devices and stop the Shutdown, MGAQDesk, and MGAHook devices if they are running.
If a dialog displays that says “Drive x: Cannot read data” and x is the drive letter for your system’s CD-ROM drive, you need to reinstall Easy CD Creator. To do this, remove Easy CD Creator from the system, restart the system, and ensure the devices list ed previously are not running. You can then reinstall Easy CD Creator.

Setup and Memory Greater Than 3 GB

Because of a Windows NT 4.0 Setup limitation, you may encounter problem s trying to install Windows NT on a system wit h more than 3 GB of memory. If you reinsta ll Windows NT, you must set the BIOS to limit memory reporting to 2 GB before
starting installation. After completing
Setup, you can set the system’s BIOS to report a l l memory for use by Window s NT.
NOTE Installing Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 or higher after completing Windows Setup
removes the need to limit memory use during Windows NT Setup.
To set the BIOS to limit or not limit memory reporting to Windows NT:
1. Restart the system and run the BIOS Setup program.
2. In the Main menu, go to Memory Cache » Memory Reported to the OS and press
ENTER.
3. Select All Memory to enable reporting of all installed memory, or select Only 2 GB to limit
memory reporting to 2 GB, and press
ENTER.
4. Save the change and exit from BIOS Setup.
During the boot process, you will be notified if memory reporting is restricted to 2 GB. Press
F1 to
continue the boot process. See the System Board Manual for more information on running BIOS Setup.

To set the default video controller in the BIOS:
1. Restart the system and run the BIOS Setup program.
2. In the Advanced menu, go to PCI Confi guration » AGP Device » Default Primary Video
Adapter and press
ENTER.
3. Select the device you want to use and press
