Controller Problems

You see a controller error for the drive controllers or the I/O

port controllers when you start your system.

If the error message refers to your PCI IDE controller, make

sure jumper JP25 is set to off; see “Changing the Jumper

Settings” in Chapter 4 for more information.

If the error message refers to your diskette drive controller,

make sure the controller is enabled in SETUP; see “Configuring

integrated peripherals” in Chapter 2 for more information.

The indicated controller on your system board may be faulty.
If you have an option card with a controller that will work with

your device, you can install it and change the jumper settings

on the system board to disable the built-in controller. You can

then continue to use your system until it is convenient for you
to have it serviced.

diagnostics program is incorrect.

You may have installed the external cache chips incorrectly.
They may be the wrong type, or they may not be inserted all

the way. Also, make sure the tag chip you’ve installed has an

access speed of 15ns or 20ns.

Also, you may not have changed the SETUP program or the

jumpers to recognize the new cache. Make sure you have set
