SETUP Page 1—Standard (CMOS/EEPROM) Setup

The first SETUP page contains the parameters normally saved in CMOS RAM plus some additional

parameters unique to the Little Board/48 6e CPU. The only par ame ters not au to save d in the

EEPROM memory are the real-time clock date and time. If no battery is used or if the battery fails,

the date and time will not be accurate. All other parame ters are saved in the EE PROM.

Figure 2–13 shows what can be configured using SETUP page 1. Sections following the figure

describe each option.
