Use the drop down menus to enable or disable controller functions.

Using the DOS mode utility (load.exe):

Load xxx.xxx –c

Note: “xxx.xxx” refers to the BIOS image file.

A BIOS menu similar to the BIOS setup utility will be displayed.

This sub-menu allows the administrator to enable/disable various controller

functions.

Several of the more common functions are described below:

Stop on Error – disabling this option will prompt the card to automatically

skip error messages during bootup (broken array warnings), if the adminis-

trator does not input the “Ctrl + H” command to access the BIOS menu.

EBDA Reallocation – this function refers to “Extended BIOS Data Area”.

Disabling this feature may remedy boot problems associated with

motherboards that halt after the RR2644X4 BIOS screen is displayed.

INT13 – The card’s boot function. Disabling this feature removes the card’s

ability to boot the system. This may be useful for systems that utilize

multiple bootable controllers – some motherboards may not be able to load

the BIOS of each device during boot up, which may impair the system’s

ability to boot from a specific device.
