Installed O/S:

Use the space bar to select the operating system to be used most often on the

computer. Be sure to select the correct operating system, or some features may dis-

play unexpected behavior. The available operating systems include: “Windows”

such as Windows 2000 (default) or “Other” — such as Unix.

NOTE:

ACPI Auto Detect does not function on NTFS drives with current BIOS versions. Use the
Enable ACPI option if you have converted your Windows 2000 drive to NTFS.

Enable ACPI:

Controls BIOS power management. If disabled, the system will revert to APM

mode. ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) support is only

available on this product when used with Windows 2000.

ACPI Auto Detect:

Controls autodetection of the operating system installed on the 6640/6650

Computer. If Windows 2000 is detected, ACPI will be enabled. Otherwise,

ACPI will be disabled.

Large Disk Access Mode:

If you selected “Windows” for the Installed O/S parameter, select “DOS” for this

parameter. If you are using another operating system such as Unix, select “Oth-

er.” Default is DOS.
