Field Description

Integrated Peripherals

Sub-Menu

Selects the Integrated peripherals sub-menu, to configure the

COM and LPT ports. This does not configure Ethernet, video, or

Flash memory. For more information, turn to the section

concerning the Integrated Peripherals Sub-Menu.

Halt on WDT (watchdog

timer) Reset

Sets the action for the BIOS to take following a hardware reset

condition caused by a timeout of the watchdog timer on the

EPC-8A. When such a timeout occurs, first the system

generates a VMEbus SYSRESET. The EPC-8A then either

halts, displaying an error message, or simply reboots, depending

on the entry here.

Large Disk Access Mode If using a drive larger than 528 Mbytes, set this to DOS if you are

running DOS, or set this to Other if using a different operating

system.
