Running Load CMOS to Configure the Parallel Port
Use this procedure to configure the parallel port when the parallel port addresses
do not appear as they should in the “Checking the Parallel Port Status” procedure
on page 22. In this version of hardware, the parallel port is configured by running
a batch file called Load CMOS.
To run Load CMOS to enable the parallel port:
1. Chose Start | Programs | PDR Debug Tools| Load CMOS .
2. Shut down and restart Windows NT. Logon on as administrator.
3. Choose Start | Programs | Windows NT Explorer and verify that the CD-ROM
drive is listed as a drive.
Setting VGA-I/O Board Switches to Configure the Parallel Port
Use this procedure to configure the parallel port when the parallel port addresses
do not appear as they should in the “Checking the Parallel Port Status” procedure
on page 22.
In this version of hardware, the parallel port circuitry is located on the system
VGA-I/O board. The parallel port is configured by setting the configuration
switches on the VGA-I/O board. This procedure provides instructions for
removing the VGA-I/O board and checking the parallel port configuration
switches.
To check the VGA-I/O board switches:
1. Confirm that the Profile system power is switched off and the power cord is
removed.
2. Power down the CD-ROM drive and disconnect it from the Profile system.
3. Remove the top covers from the Profile system.
NOTE: In some units the parallel port configuration switches may be
visible without removing the VGA-I/O board from the unit. If you
have access to the switches without removing the VGA-I/O board, go
to step 7 and check the switch positions.
