The first option is highlighted. Press ” to highlight Run SETUP, and then press Enter. The SETUP menu appears on the screen.

The menu automatically displays the base memory size, the extended memory size, and whether a math coprocessor (numeric processor) is installed. Additionally, the SETUP menu lists the parameters you can change.

Selecting Options

A solid cursor bar highlights the parameter currently selected. You can scroll through the parameters using the four arrow keys ( ‘ , ’ , “ , ” ). When you reach a parameter you want to change, press Page Up or Page Down to display and select the available options.

An information window appears at the bottom of the menu; it describes the options available or any other keys to press to change the highlighted configuration parameter.

The rest of this chapter describes how to choose the correct SETUP parameters for your system.

Setting the Date and Time

The real-time clock in your computer continously tracks the date and time-even when the computer is turned off. Once you set the date and time using the SETUP program, you should not need to change either parameter, except to adjust the time for daylight savings, if necessary. (The computer automatically changes the date for leap years.)

The current month is highlighted and a calendar on the right side of the screen shows all the days for the month. The current day is flashing. Press Page Up or Page Down to select the correct month, day, and year.
