BIOS Setup
You must make changes to your system BIOS before you can use the
PCMCIA/CompactFlash (ATA) to IDE drive or module. This proce-
dure is to enable your computer to work with the new drive. You will
be able to use the drive in the same manner as any other floppy disk,
hard drive or CD-ROM drive that is connected to your system after
making changes to your system’s BIOS.
The following procedure configures your new PCMCIA/CompactFlash
(ATA) to IDE drive or module. An example shows the installation of
the drive containing a 20 MB ATA Flash HDD PCMCIA card on a
computer that has an Award BIOS, ASUS mainboard and existing 4.3
GB HDD. Your own configuration will likely be different so the
screens will not be the same. However, the installation process is the
same for all ATA Flash, ATA HDD and CompactFlash cards. In
addition, BIOSes from other manufacturers may appear different.
Consult the documentation that came with your BIOS (likely included
in your mainboard manual) for specific information about your own
computer system.
1 Turn off your computer.
2 Connect the PCMCIA/CompactFlash (ATA) to IDE drive or
module to your computer as explained in the previous section.
3 Insert the PCMCIA or CompactFlash card into your drive unit.
4 Turn on your computer. You will immediately be given the option
to enter BIOS Setup before your operating system loads.
BIOSes manufactured by Award Software can be configured by
typing the Delete key. BIOSes from other manufacturers can be
entered by simultaneously typing Ctrl-Alt-S, Ctrl-Esc or Ctrl-F1.
Look at the on-screen message on your own computer for the
specific command.
5 The main BIOS Setup screen opens.
