BIOS 61

Cyclical Redundancy Checking (CRC).

Logical Block Addressing (LBA).

The hard drive is resistant to small and medium shocks or vibration, but can be permanently damaged if subjected to excessive forces.

BIOS

The BIOS is the interface between the operating system and the hardware. Its data, crucial to the proper functioning of the hardware, is stored in a 1 Mbyte flash memory device, which sits in a socket located on the Matrox 4Sight-M motherboard.

The BIOS Setup program allows you to reconfigure the BIOS to your specifications. It is accessed by pressing F2 at startup, during POST.

For more information on BIOS Setup, refer to the BIOS reference appendix.

Networking

The networking capabilities of Matrox 4Sight-M are met by a standard 10/100BaseT Ethernet interface and a Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) networking interface.

The standard 10/100BaseT Ethernet controller is built into the Intel ICH4 bus, providing high transfer rates to and from memory.

On both networking interfaces, two LEDs, above each Ethernet jack, provide transmission and reception information. The following table describes the LEDs:
