ESD Precautions Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions: Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static packaging until you are ready to install them. Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This helps to discharge any static electricity on your body.
Unpacking After unpacking the CPU card, check and see if the following items are included and in good condition. If any of the items is missing or damaged, notify your dealer immediately. Product Name MiniStation Function Package MiniStation TBD (To Be Decided.) with VGA, Ethernet and Audio Interface Make sure that all of the items listed above are present. What to Do If There Is a Problem If there are damaged or missing parts, contact your supplier and/or dealer immediately.

If it fails, it will search from the hard disk drive. If operating system is still not found, it’ll seek from the SCSI device. System searches for the operating system from the hard disk drive first. If it fails, it will search from the floppy disk drive.
MiniStation All-in-One Petit Board User’s Manual z Swap Floppy Drive This allows you to determine whether to enable Swap Floppy Drive or not. When enabled, the BIOS swaps floppy drive assignments so that Drive A becomes Drive B, and Drive B becomes Drive A. By default, this field is set to Disabled. z Boot Up Floppy Seek During POST, BIOS will determine the floppy disk drive type, 40 or 80 tracks, installed in the system. 360Kb type is 40 tracks while 720Kb, 1.2MB and 1.44MB are all 80 tracks.
MiniStation All-in-One Petit Board User’s Manual z z Typematic Delay (Msec) This option sets the display time interval from the first to the second character when holding a key.
