Time resets the time on the computer's internal clock.

Time is kept in a 24-hour format (hours:minutes:seconds). To change the time, press the right-arrow key to increase the number in the highlighted field or press the left-arrow key to decrease the number. If you prefer, you can type numbers in each of the appropriate fields.

Date

Date resets the date on the computer's internal calendar.

Your system automatically displays the day of the week corresponding to the settings in the three fields that follow (month, day-of-month, and year).

To change the date, press the right-arrow key to increase the number in the highlighted field or press the left-arrow key to decrease the number. If you prefer, you can type numbers in the month and day-of-monthfields.

Diskette Drive A, Diskette Drive B, and Use ZIP as A or B

Diskette Drive A and Diskette Drive B identify the type of diskette drives installed in your computer. With the standard cabling configuration, Diskette Drive A (the boot diskette drive) is the 3.5-inch diskette drive installed in the top externally accessible drive bay; Diskette Drive B is any drive installed in the bottom externally accessible drive bay that is connected to the system's diskette/tape drive interface.

The option settings always match the physical locations of the drives in your computer—the first drive listed on Page 1 of the System Setup screens is the top drive in your computer.

The options are:

5.25 Inch, 360 KB

5.25 Inch, 1.2 MB

3.5 Inch, 720 KB

3.5 Inch, 1.44 MB

Not Installed

The diskette option labeled "Use ZIP as A or B" is used to control the operation of an internally installed ATAPI Zip drive. The options are On and Off. When set On, the Zip drive operates as a diskette drive and can be booted. When set to Off, the Zip drive operates as a normal ATAPI device.

You can have a total of two diskette devices, either diskette drives or Zip drives.

NOTE: Tape drives are not reflected in the Diskette Drive A and Diskette Drive B options. For example, if you have a single diskette drive and a tape drive attached to the diskette/tape drive interface cable, set the Diskette Drive A option to match the characteristics of the diskette drive and set the Diskette Drive B option to Not Installed.

Drives: Primary and Secondary

Primary identifies drives attached to the primary enhanced integrated drive electronics (EIDE) interface connector (labeled "IDE1") on the system board; Secondary identifies drives connected to the secondary EIDE interface connector (labeled "IDE2"). Dell recommends that you use the secondary EIDE interface
