1 Getting Started
Follow the instructions in this chapter to prepare to install a Targa 2000 board in an
Intergraph TD-200 system.
Setting Up System Hardware and Software
Set up the TD-200 hardware and system software as described in the hardware
documentation delivered with the system.
Make sure the following operating system software is installed and running on the TD-200:
u Windows NT Workstation 4.0
u Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Service Pack 1
This TD-200 system configuration is offered only on Windows NT Workstation 4.0. Targa
2000 software has not been tested by Intergraph Computer Systems on TD-200 systems
running Windows NT Workstation 3.51.
Using the ISA Configuration Utility
You will be configuring system interrupt requests (IRQs) and disabling or changing Industry
Standard Architecture (ISA) hardware resources on the system (such as the on-board sound
processor on the TD-200 system board). This will ensure that the Targa 2000 board has the
proper interrupt priority and can use the system disks correctly. You should use the ISA
Configuration Utility (ICU) program to view IRQs and disable or change ISA hardware
resources on the system.
The ICU program is part of the System Utilities (SYSUTIL) product for the TD-200. If you
do not have the ICU program, you can get the latest version from the Intergraph Bulletin
Board Service (IBBS). Refer to the hardware documentation delivered with the TD-200 for
instructions on getting the SYSUTIL product, and installing and running the ICU program.

2
Taking Antistatic Precautions
You will be opening the system to remove and install expansion boards. Some components
in a system can be damaged by static electricity. To minimize the possibility of damage, take
the following steps:
u Turn off power to the system.
u Leave the power cord connected to the system and to the AC outlet to maintain ground.
u Touch the metal chassis to drain off any static electricity.
u Wear a properly connected grounding wrist strap. Make sure the wrist strap is
connected properly to the system and contacts bare skin on your wrist.
u Do not wear wool or polyester clothing.
u Work in an area with a relative humidity of at least 50 percent.
u Work on an antistatic surface.
Getting More Information
Refer to the hardware documentation delivered with the TD-200 for information on opening
and closing the system’s base unit, getting and running the ICU program for the system,
using the BIOS Setup program, and adding expansion boards to the system.
Refer to the online ICU Help for information on defining an ISA expansion board to the
system, and to the documentation delivered with the Targa 2000 board for detailed
installation and configuration instructions.
Refer to the operating system documentation and Help for information on Windows NT
administration tasks such as adding and removing hardware, drivers, and network support,
and creating a disk drive stripe set.
