Step 7: Update Software

If you use GeminiEngine Control Software UPDATE CD-ROM, see “Installing GeminiEngine
Control Software” (page 6-13) to update the software. When there are other update modules, apply
them in this step.

Step 8: Connect and Configure Options

When there are option PCI boards or peripheral devices to connect to the main unit, power off the
main unit. Then, for connecting them, follow the instructions in “PCI board” in the separate volume
of the User’s Guide and the manual of the devices.

TIPS:

If LAN or hard disks are added, you need to set dual configurations. For details, see “Step 5:
Set Dual LAN Configuration” (page 4-23) and “Step 8: Connect and Configure Options”
(page 4-32).

When the mounted memory is 4GB or more, specify /PAE switch to BOOT.INI file.

In order to use the entire mounted memory from the Windows system, /PAE switch needs to be

Refer to Microsoft Product Support Services for details of specification method.
