Late-Breaking News

Windows 2000

Localized Versions

On a system with Windows 2000 Korean, Japanese, or Simplified Chinese, the Windows 2000

interface will display in English after completing Setup. Windows 2000 will display in the proper

language after you restart the system for the first time.

BIOS Changes

To run Windows 2000 on your system, you may need to make some changes in BIOS Setup.

To enable USB function:

♦ Under Advance Chipset Setup, change USB Function to Enabled.

To enable ACPI before installing Windows 2000 for the Hibernate and Standby features:

♦ Under Advance Chipset Setup, change ACPI Control Register to Enabled.

♦ Under Power Management Setup, change ACPI Aware O/S to Yes.

♦ Under Plug and Play Setup, change Plug and Play Aware O/S to Yes.

See the System Board Manual for more information on running BIOS Setup.

Power Management

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 the Support pages on the World Wide Web (http://www.intergraph.com/ics) when available.

You cannot use Hibernate or Standby modes on a system with the following video controllers:

♦ Intense3D Wildcat 4105, 4000, 3510, 3410, 3400

♦ RealiZm II VX113, VX113A

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. You may ignore this designation, as it does not affect their operation:

♦ Intense3D Wildcat 4105, 4000, 3510, 3410, 3400

♦ RealiZm II VX113, VX113A

Reinstalling Wildcat Graphics Drivers

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. Right click My Computer and go to Manage » Device Manager » Other Devices » Video

Controller » Driver » Update Driver.

3. When the Upgrade Device Driver Wizard displays, click Next.

4. Select Search for a suitable driver for my device (recommended), and then click Next.

5. Make sure the appropriate search location is selected, and that Disk 1 of the driver media is

loaded in the appropriate drive; then click OK.

6. Under Driver Files Search Results, click Next to start the installation.

7. Insert Disk 2 when prompted, and then click OK to continue with the installation.

8. Once the driver successfully installs, click Close.

CAUTION Windows 2000 recognizes the dual pipelines in a Wildcat 4110 or 4210 graphics

controller as two devices. Repeat Steps 2 through 7 to complete the installation for

the VGA-compatible video controller driver.

9. Restart the computer.

BIOS Requirement

BIOS version 1.30B 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

NT), do not let Setup auto-detect and configure the system’s network controller. If

you do, the system may fail to operate correctly.

When going through Setup for the first 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.

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 times, complete Setup without auto-detecting the system’s

network controller. When Setup completes, install the network controller driver software manually

from diskette.

The network controller driver software is in the PRO100PLUS folder on the system’s driver CD.

First see the README.TXT file for information on creating a driver diskette using the MAKEMS.BAT

program. Then see the MS.TXT file for information on installing the driver software using Network

in the Windows NT Control Panel.

After installing the network controller driver software, see the System Guide for information on

configuring networking. When installing network protocols (such as TCP/IP), you can install them

from C:\WINNT\I386 on your system.

Setup and the SCSI Controller Driver

If you reinstall Windows NT, you must install the SCSI controller driver software from diskette.

You cannot install it from the system’s driver CD.

System Hardware

Boot Hang

Your system may hang intermittently while booting, following the display of the “Z” logo with a

blinking cursor, or after scanning devices connected to the SCSI controller. If this happens, restart

the system and run BIOS Setup. Go to Advanced CMOS Setup and set Quick Boot to disable,

then save the change and exit from BIOS Setup. This procedure marks unused IDE ports as “not

installed,” so you must repeat it if you add any IDE devices later.

Mylex RAID Controller

If your system has a Mylex RAID controller, you can press ALT+R during system boot to run RAID

configuration utilities. To ensure your system can do this, restart the system and run BIOS Setup.

In Advanced CMOS Setup, set 2nd Boot Device to SCSI, then save the change and exit from

BIOS Setup. For more information on Mylex RAID configuration, see the Mylex documentation

delivered with the RAID controller.

BIOS and System Board Information

See the System Guide or System Setup document for instructions on running BIOS Setup and for

detailed information on BIOS configuration. The BIOS information in the System Board Manual

does not apply to your system’s customized BIOS.

See the System Board Manual for detailed information on system board specifications, features,

components, and connections.
