Updating the Setup Utility 95
Connecting signal cables
If you have not already done so, connect the signal cable
from the drive to the correct connection on the system
board. Verify your connections using the information in
“Identifying signal cable connectors” on page 86.
If you had to disconnect any cables to access a section
of the system board, reconnect the cables.
Removing drives
To remove a drive from a specific bay, reverse the steps
for installing a drive in that bay.
Updating the Setup Utility
When you add Plug and Play (PnP) adapter cards and
drives, the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) detects the
hardware changes and updates the Setup Utility
automatically. When you add devices that are not PnP,
the BIOS might still detect the new hardware. In a few
cases, however, you might need to enter the Setup
Utility to verify or correct configuration settings.
If you need to verify or correct configuration settings in
the Setup Utility, see “Using the Setup Utility” on
page 31 for information about how to start and update
the Setup Utility.
For adapter cards
When you install a new adapter card, you can select the
following options from the Setup Utility’s Main Menu to
view or change adapter card information:
Plug and Play
Select this option to view the system resources
assigned to non-PnP adapter cards. See “Changing
adapter card device information” on page 46 for
information about this option.
“Preventing specific conflicts between Plug and Play
and non-Plug and Play hardware” on page 58
contains instructions for using the Plug and Play
menu before you install specific adapter cards.
Advanced Options and then PCI Cards
Select this option to see if bus mastering is enabled
for PCI cards. See “Configuring advanced options”
on page 49 for information about these options.
