Chapter 1
Quick Start
This chapter provides information that helps you quickly set up and start using the
Am486
®
microprocessor PCI customer development platform (CDP).
The PCI CDP is shipped with a BIOS that has been configured specifically for the
chipset used on this platform. The BIOS contains the code that enables the PCI
CDP to function as a standard AT-compatible PC, using AT-compatible displays,
display adapters, and keyboards. Details on the BIOS can be found in the BIOS
documentation shipped on diskette with your kit.
The PCI CDP can run AT-compatible operating system software. You can start the
system with either a bootable diskette or an ATA (IDE) hard disk drive that already
has the operating system installed.
Embedded BIOS software typically supports the configuration of onboard Flash
memory as a resident flash disk (RFD) that can also be set up as a boot device. See
the online BIOS manual included with your kit.
For information on how to:
• Set up the PCI CDP, see page 1-2.
• Boot the PCI CDP from a diskette, see page 1-6.
• Boot the PCI CDP from a hard disk drive, see page 1-7.
• Troubleshoot installation problems, see page 1-8.
