Note

If you are going to install NetWare

®

286, version 2.2, and you

plan to assign a user-defined drive type for your drive, you

must install the NetWare IDE drivers (IDE.DSK and

IDE.OBJ). You can obtain these drivers by downloading

IDE286.ZIP from Netwire in CompuServe.

®

Alternatively,

you can select one of the predefined hard disk drive types

that most closely matches the drive you are installing.

The Advanced System Setup Option

When you select this option from the Main Menu, you see the

Advanced System Setup screen. From this screen, you can

select the options that allow you to configure the computer’s

cache memory and shadow memory, and define options that

control the advanced chipset.

Note

The Advanced System Setup options can be automatically

configured by system. to avoid malfunctions, let the

system configure these options.

Configuring Cache Memory

You use the Memory Cache option to enable or disable

automatic configuration of your external cache memory.

Enabling cache memory improves system performance,

especially in large data retrieval and processing environments.

If you choose to configure your cache memory (rather than let

the system automatically configure it), you can define the burst

wait states and two non-cacheable areas of memory. However,

it’s a good idea to let the system automatically configure your

cache memory.
