GAME

(1)

Install the PTI-2SSW, the IDE drives, the floppy drives and the LED
Firstly, plug the PTI-255W into a 32-bit VL-Bus slot. Secondly, properly
connect the IDE cable to the IDE drive connector and to the IDE drive(s).
Thirdly, properly connect the floppy cable to floppy drive connector and to
the floppy drive(s). Both cables should have the coloured bands on the
cable to indicate the pin 1 position.

(2)

Perform system CMOS setup, enter correct drive geometry information.

For 4 HDDs system, there is no need to setup the drive geometry
information for Drives E: and F:.

(3)

Install the Device Driver

Please refer to the README file in Driver" Diskette for detail installation
procedures to be used in various kind of operating system (DOS, Windows
3.1, OS/2 2.XX, NoveI2.XX/3.1X/4.0X).
