NOTE:

    Using Power On/Off Switch in Crisis Recovery Mode
	
    Under normal operation, you can press the power button, and the power will 
    switch between on and off as expected; however, when you need to set the system
    to Crisis Recovery mode, by setting the Recovery mode switch (SW1-2) on the main
    logic board to ON, the power button is time sensitive.  In this mode, you must 
    press and release the power button quickly to turn on the system

 
Multi-Boot II Supporting description...

        In a MultiBoot system, the first boot device is selectable. It does
    not default to the Floppy device A: or IDE primary-Master. Any bootable
    device can be specified as a Master Boot device on the MultiBoot Menu 
    of Setup.

        This allows you to select the order that boot devices are attempted.
    This feature is called the "Boot Priority" and is always present.

        If you select the [Hard Disk] item in the Boot Priority section of Setup 
    and then press the <Enter> key, the Boot Connection Device menu appears. The 
    Boot Connection Device menu allows you to specify the order in which hard
    drives are installed into the system during ROM scan (POST code 98h).

    BOOT MENU:

          Some CD-ROM drives do not auto-type correctly. This will be apparent
    during POST when the "CD-ROM identified" message is not displayed.
    In this case, go into Setup and select the hard disk type for the
    CD-ROM manually, instead of auto-typing it in Setup.

        Many advanced operating systems such as Windows 95, Windows NT,
    OS/2 Warp, Unix, and others, modify the boot sectors of any hard drives
    that are installed in the system while the OS is being installed.
    This can cause normally bootable hard drives to be rendered non-bootable,
    even though the user did not want this behavior.

       In systems where there are two or more bootable hard drives, it is
   recommended that all bootable hard drives other than the target of the
   new OS be removed from the system prior to installing the new OS.

       Once installation of the new OS is complete, the other bootable drives
   can then be added back to the system. This simple procedure prevents the
   advanced Operating Systems from modifying the boot sectors of other bootable
   drives, thus preserving the MultiBoot II capability of choosing among several
   hard drives to boot from.

Limitation:

    1. The audio setup item "Integrated Audio Device: [ENABLED/DISABLED]"
       function is invalid for NT 4.0. It will always find audio chip
       under NT 4.0  if audio driver is installed. FOR DIGITAL PC 5510 ONLY

    2. Supports the following Pentium II CPUs: 233, 266, 300, 333
