Chapter 5 - Using SETUP

Date and Time

Provides a single window for setting the system date and time. The Date and Time window lets you specify the date, month, and year as well as the Hour, Minute, and Second.

Fast Boot

Initializes and quickly boots the system in a few seconds by bypassing certain diagnostic tests. To fully test the system at power-on time, turn off Fast Boot. This makes the system perform a more comprehensive test of the hardware, which makes the bootup process longer. A check mark indicates Fast Boot is enabled.

Boot Device

Specifies where the system boots from.

Available devices: Diskette A, Hard Disk C, or PCMCIA Card (PCMCIA SRAM only).

Video Select

Selects the display type that will be used when the system boots up. Avail- able options from the Video Select menu include: LCD Only, CRT Only, or Simulscan. LCD Only specifies that a Liquid Crystal Display (or equivalent panel) is used; CRT specifies that an external Cathode Ray Tube is used; Simulscan specifies that both an LCD and CRT will be displayed simulta- neously when the system boots.

LCD Max Brightness

Sets the LCD panel to the maximum brightness.
