Running the SETUP Program

When you use your computer for the first time, you need to run the SETUP program to define how your system is set up. This is a simple procedure which you must do at least once.

You may need to run it again later if you change some part of your configuration.

The SETUP program is stored in the computer’s read-only memory (ROM), so you can run the program any time you turn on or reset your computer. You do not need to insert a diskette or access the hard disk.

SETUP lets you verify or change the following:

0 Current date and time

tl Type of diskette drives(s) installed

cl Type of hard disk drive(s) installed

0Built-in interface settings for the parallel and serial ports, and the diskette and hard disk drive controllers.
