10 NEC PowerMate ES 5250 Series Release Notes

Setting Boot Order in BIOS

To use the CD-ROM drive as a boot device, the BIOS must list it before the

hard drive and/or before the network. The system does not boot from a Zip

drive if it is listed as the first boot device.

Getting CD-ROM Support in Command Prompt Only Mode

CD-ROM support is not available when you select

at the “Starting Windows

9x” prompt and select the

Command Prompt Only

option. To initiate

CD-ROM support in the Command Prompt Only mode, run

DOSSTART.BAT

which is located in the C:\WINDOWS directory.

SCSI Drive Limitations

The following procedures and operating limitations apply to systems whose only

hard drive is a SCSI device.

Booting from a CD

In systems with only a SCSI hard drive, it is not possible to boot from an IDE

CD-ROM drive.

Using the NEC OS Restore CD with a SCSI Drive

If a situation arises in which a full operating system restore must be performed

using the NEC OS Restore CD, first boot the system from the bootable diskette.

(This might be necessary, for example, if the system does not boot from the hard

drive.) The bootable diskette comes with all systems that have a SCSI hard

drive. After the system boots, proceed with the NEC OS Restore procedure.

Intel Processor Serial Number Control Utility

The Intel

Processor Serial Number Control utility is a Windows

program that

enables or disables the reading of the Pentium

III processor serial number by

software. This function lets you control which software programs or websites

have permission to read the processor serial number. When installed, the utility

runs automatically each time the system powers on.

This utility places an icon in the Windows system tray. The icon provides a

visual status of the processor serial number. You have the option of hiding the

system tray icon. You can disable the processor serial number at any time.

However, enabling the serial number requires restarting the system.

The following information describes:

system requirements

installation procedures

processor serial number features
