Question: What does it mean when I boot the system and the Ultra66 says, ´´BIOS Not Installed´´?
Answer: Cause: No Hard Drives attached to Ultra66.
Solution: The Ultra66 is fully PnP. This means all the resources that it uses are GIVEN to it by the PnP BIOS on the motherboard. The Ultra66 does support IRQ sharing, but this will not work unless ALL the concerned devices support IRQ sharing. If your motherboard allows you to control the assignment of these resources, you may be able to remedy the problem by ´´playing around´´ with them. You can also try resetting the configuration data in the CMOS. This is usually an option in the PnP section of the CMOS. The only available settings for this option will be ´´Enabled´´ and ´´Disabled´´. Set it to ´´Enabled´´, save and exit, and reboot. Otherwise, the only way you might be able to affect these assignments is to switch the PCI slot that the card is in.
Question: Hard Drive not seen, BIOS Not Installed, CMOS Configuration
Answer: Cause: Hard Drive Jumper Settings, Cable Issues, CMOS Configuration, BIOS Version, PCI 2.1 Compliancy, No Hard Drives attached to Ultra66 Card.
Solution: The only reason that the Ultra66 BIOS will not install is if it doesn´t detect a HDD. If you don´t have a HDD connected to our card, connect one. If you do, check the HDD jumper settings and cabling. If your HDD is from WD, and it´s the only device on the cable, remove ALL the jumpers from the HDD. If the problem still exists, contact tech support with the following information. What are the HDDs that you´re using with the Ultra66? What is the jumper setting on each HDD? What is the version of the BIOS on the Ultra66? Make sure the HDDs on the Ultra66 are defined as ´´None´´ or ´´Not Installed´´ in the CMOS. Are the cables that you´re using with the Ultra66 18´´ or less? Try switching the PCI slot that the Ultra66 is in. Try resetting the configuration data in the CMOS. This is usually an option in the PnP section of the CMOS. The only available settings for this option will be ´´Enabled´´ and ´´Disabled´´. Set it to ´´Enabled´´, save and exit, and reboot.
