PCServer330 - Advanced Setup
Applicable to: World-Wide
Advanced Setup:
Select Advanced Setup to change values for advanced hardware features such as cache control and ROM shadowing. A warning message displays above the choices on this menu, to alert you that the system may malfunction if these options are
configured incorrectly. Follow the instructions on the screen carefully.
Use the Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys to advance through each data field.
The Advanced Setup choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup menu.
Cache Control:
Select this choice to enable or disable the microprocessor cache state. In addition, you can define the microprocessor cache type as write-back or write-through.
You can also enable or disable video BIOS caching, and define buffers for video and option ROM caching.
ROM Shadowing:
Select this choice to enable ROM shadowing in specified areas. When these areas are enabled, the contents can be cached, using Cache Control option.
PCI Bus Control:
Select this choice to manually assign the interrupt requests (IRQs) for PCI adapters installed in the server, and for the SCSI and Ethernet controllers on the system board.
You can also enable the generation of a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) when a PIC data parity error occurs.
If you install an adapter that requires a memory address in the C8000 to CFFFF (hexadecimal) range, you must change the memory address of the server's SCSI ROM. Select SCSI ROM address to assign an alternate address.
To enable or disable the CPU to PCI write posting, select CPU-PCI Write Buffers.
