SETUP

Introduction

The Apricot XEN-LS II motherboard is fitted with a small

area of memory which is used to store information about

the configuration of the computer. The computer’s

configuration is modified using a SETUP utility provided in

Read Only Memory (ROM) on the motherboard.

A rechargeable battery on the XEN-LS II motherboard

maintains the configuration memory when the computer is

switched off.

Invoking SETUP

Each time the XEN-LS II is switched on, or rebooted, it

runs through a self test procedure. During this period the

SETUP utility can be invoked by pressing the ALT+Skey

combination.

The XEN-LS II can boot in two ways, it can use a graphical

boot screen, or a conventional text based boot screen.

During graphical boot a Setup button is displayed, SETUP

can only be invoked while the button is not greyed out.

During text boot a prompt appears on the screen, while the

prompt is visible SETUP can be invoked.

There may be a delay of a few seconds, while the self test

procedure is completed, before the SETUP screen

appears.

The SETUP screen

The simplest way to use SETUP is with a mouse, just

move the cursor to the option you want to select and click

with the left mouse button. The illustration below identifies

the elements that make up the SETUP screen.

Option button

Option group

These are used to collect a number of related, or exclusive,

options under a common heading.

Check box

Check boxes are used where any number of the options in

the group may be selected. Select or de-select a check

box by pointing and clicking in the box with the mouse.

Option button

These are used for exclusive options. Beside each option

is a circle, only one circle is highlighted at any given time. If

you point and click on an option the highlight will transfer to

it.

Scroll bar

Scroll bars behave like slide controls. They are adjusted by

pointing and clicking on the arrows at each end of the bar.

Text box

These are provided when the user has to enter text. Point

and click in the text box, then enter the text required and

press ENTER.

Text

The SETUP utility displays some information about your

system that is detected automatically and cannot be

altered. For example, the amount of memory installed in the

system is detected and displayed, for information only.

Buttons

Buttons carry out the action indicated by the text on the

button.

Message line

A message line at the bottom of the screen contains

information about SETUP.

Greyed out options

Where an option is greyed out it indicates that it cannot

currently be selected, or used. There could be a variety of

reasons for this, for example: the computer may not

support the option, or an associated option may have to be

enabled in order for the greyed out option to be valid.

Controlling SETUP using the keyboard

If you are unable to use a mouse, you can use the

keyboard to move around and select the SETUP options.

TAB Moves you round the option groups, and

buttons. An alternative method is to hold

down the ALT key and press the letter

which corresponds to the one underlined

in the title of the group.

ARROW KEYS Once you are in an option group, use the

arrow keys to move through the options.

The system will highlight an entry to show

which option is currently selected.

SPACE BAR Press the space bar to set the highlighted

option.

ENTER Confirms buttons.

When the changes in a screen are complete are complete,

select the SAVE button and press ENTER. To abandon your

changes, select the CANCEL button and press ENTER.

System Autoconfiguration

If the system configuration has changed since the last time

the computer was booted, SETUP will be invoked

automatically.

Opening screen

Disk Types

Hard disk

The XEN-LS II supports a maximum of two IDE hard disk

drive(s). The type of drive fitted is displayed in these two

text boxes.

Floppy disk

The XEN-LS II can be fitted with one or two floppy drives.

These text boxes are used to display the type of drive

fitted.

There is no need to change the floppy drive type unless

you are adding a drive.

Change

The Change button accesses a screen which allows you

to select the type of each floppy drive, and provides for the

possible inclusion of user-defined hard disk drives.

The

Change disk type

screen is described in more detail

later in this section.

Boot device

The boot device option group allows you to select where

you want the XEN-LS II to look for an operating system

when it is switched on or rebooted. The group contains

three option buttons, these choose between booting from a

hard or floppy disk in the computer, and remotely across

the on-board Ethernet interface using different types of

remoteboot.

If you make an inappropriate selection it may result in the

computer failing to find an operating system and being

unable to boot.

Before selecting a remote boot option check with your

network administrator.

Local

This should be selected if the computer is to boot from an

internal hard disk or floppy drive.

It should be noted that when one of the remote boot schemes

described below is enabled it is not possible to boot the

computer from a local device. If you wish a XEN-LS II, that

normally boots remotely using the on-board Ethernet

interface, to boot from a local device, you must first use

SETUP to select Local in the boot device option group.

Note

This option should be selected if you want the computer to

boot remotely from a server using a network interface on

an expansion card.

Ethernet

If the computer is connected to an Ethernet network using

the on-board Ethernet interface, and it is to boot remotely

from a server using the RPL (Remote Program Load)

scheme, enable this option.

Other

This option is provided for possible future implementation of

other remote boot methods for the on-board Ethernet

interface. It is currently greyed out.

Memory

The memory text box displays a count of the amount of

memory installed in the system. The contents of the text

box cannot be edited and is displayed for information only.

Separate counts of total and extended memory are

displayed.

Power-on sound

When this option is enabled the XEN-LS II audio

subsystem provides an audible indication that the system

has been switched on.
