3. Click Troubleshoot... to use the built-in
mechanisms for detecting the nature of the
problem.
Other tabs include the Driver tab, which
displays the details of the driver being used.
This tab also lets you update or uninstall the
driver. The Resources tab displays the
hardware resources being used. This tab
allows you to see and resolve any conflicts
caused by non-PnP devices. Along with these
tabs, some devices have additional advanced
settings or tabs for device-specific settings.
6.5 Installing and Removing Hardware in Windows
Plug and Play (PnP) is a standard that makes
installing new hardware devices easier. Prior to
PnP, installing new hardware meant finding
and installing peripheral drivers and making
sure the new device didn't conflict with another
device. Theoretically, if you have a computer
designed for PnP and are using a PnP
operating system (like Windows), installing a
printer, sound card, modem, or other peripheral
is a simple matter of plugging in the device.
It's not always quite this simple. Assuming you
are using a PnP computer, when you attach a
PnP device, you may see a message indicating
that Windows has recognized the new deviceeither immediately or the next time you start up
your system. If Windows needs a driver that is
not currently installed, you may at that point be
asked to insert a disk or the Windows CDROM. If you don't see a message but the
device appears to be working, you can assume
that everything is fine.

6.6.1 Removing Legacy Peripherals
When removing a legacy peripheral from your
system, you need to let Windows know that the
device is gone. This enables Windows to reuse the
resources (places in memory and internal
communications channels) that it previously
allocated to that device.

6.7 TAG Approved BIOS
The BIOS (basic input/output system) is the
program stored on the CMOS that the server's
microprocessor uses to get the system started
after you turn it on. The BIOS also manages
data flow between the computer's operating
system and attached devices such as the hard
disk, video adapter, keyboard, and mouse.
CAUTION: The BIOS installed on your
server was loaded and tested with all the
devices initially installed in your system. If
you desire to have the BIOS updated,
consult TAG technical support in advance
as updates to your approved BIOS may
cause your system to become unstable or
inoperable.
6.7.1.1 Printer Parallel Port Uni., Bi-Directional,
Disable, Enable, ECP, EPP.
Settings in the CMOS enable you to configure
a parallel port to use Enhanced Parallel Port
(EPP) or Enhanced Parallel Port (ECP). ECP.
EPP and ECP are bi-directional standards,
operate in 8-bit, and allow data transfer speed
of approximately 2 MB/s. Some of the main
differences are that ECP supports Direct
Memory Access (DMA) and data compression,
which enables higher transfer rates.
It is also possible to completely disable the
parallel port in the BIOS. Most BIOS' allow you
to set the DMA channel, when the port mode is
set to ECP.

6.7.1.2 Com / Serial Port
Most personal computers have two serial ports.
In the BIOS you can assign
COM1/COM2/COM3/COM4 to serial port 1 or
2.
Most BIOS' also allow you to set the I/O and
IRQ but this is mostly done automatically.
6.7.1.3 Hard Drives
Most modern BIOS' allow automatic detection
of disk parameters. The settings can be
individually configured for the primary master
and slave device and the secondary master
and slave device. The following are some of
the primary settings that apply to hard drives
as well as CD/DVD-ROM drives, tape backup
drive, etc.
Common disk types are:
User-defined Cylinders, Heads, Sectors (CHS)
values.
Auto-automatically detects hard disks
parameters at every startup.
1-46-predefined combinations of CHS values.

Parity adds an extra bit (odd or even) to the 8bit data-string to ensure data integrity in
memory modules. Its successor, ECC,
provides improved data integrity by adding
information about individual bits.
6.7.1.6 Boot Sequence
This setting is used to control the order that the
BIOS uses during the boot process to look for
a boot device from which to load the operating
system. For example:
CD.
Floppy.
Hard Disk.
6.7.1.7 Date and Time
The Date and Time is set in the BIOS, stored in
CMOS, and maintained by CMOS battery.
6.7.1.8 Passwords
In most cases a user (startup) password and a
supervisor (setup) password can be set in the
CMOS. When a Setup password is required,
the computer will prompt for it when you try to

Version 1.0. 08/25/2010
SV-2000-IX
Operations Manual
access the BIOS setup. When a Startup
password is configured, the computer will
prompt for it at every startup.
The CMOS password can be reset by
shortening the "CMOS restore to factory
defaults jumper" or by temporarily removing the
CMOS battery.
6.7.1.9 Plug and Play BIOS
Today's BIOS' are Plug and Play (PnP)-aware.
This means they are able to automatically
assign resources such as IRQ and DMA to
PnP devices.
Information about PnP devices is stored in a
separate area of non-volatile CMOS memory,
called the Extended System Configuration
Database (ESCD). Both the PnP BIOS and the
operating system can access this area and
communicate with each other about resource
settings assigned to PnP devices as well as
non-PnP devices. For example, when a fixed
interrupt request (IRQ) is manually assigned to
a particular device using Device Manager,
Windows will write this information to the
ESCD on shutdown thereby preventing the
BIOS from assigning the same IRQ to a PnP
device at startup.
Document Number: 275-MNL-002 Page 42 of 84
Version 1.0. 08/25/2010
You can also reserve IRQs for non-PnP
devices in the CMOS setup, this will prevent
the BIOS from assigning these reserved
resources to PnP devices, a common example
is a legacy sound card that needs IRQ 5.

6.8 Upgrading Memory and Replacing Components
6.8.1 Preventing Static Electricity
This section provides procedures for replacing all
hot-swappable and LRU components, including
procedures for replacing or adding system memory.
The components inside your computer are
extremely sensitive to static electricity, also known
as electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD can
permanently damage electrostatic dischargesensitive components in your server.
To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines
before opening the server case:
1. Turn off the server and unplug the power cord
before opening the case.
2. Wear a grounding wrist strap and attach it to a
bare metal part of the server, workbench, or other grounded connection.

3. Do not insert any object into the vent holes on the
case or the power supply. Touch a bare metal
surface on the back of the computer, a bare metal
surface on your workbench, or other grounded
object before handing DIMMs or other components.
Before working with computer components,
follow these guidelines:

Operations Manual
Avoid static-causing surfaces such as carpeted
floors, plastic, and packing foam.
Remove components from their antistatic bags
only when you are ready to use them. Do not
lay components on the outside of antistatic
bags because only the inside of the bags
provide electrostatic protection. Always hold
memory modules and components by their
edges or their metal mounting brackets.
Avoid touching the edge connectors and
components on the cards. Never slide memory
modules or components over any surface.
