Note

If the arrow keys on the numeric keypad do not appear to work, num lock mode may be enabled (turned on). If the Num Lock indicator in the upper right comer of the keyboard is lit, press Num Lock once to turn it off and enable the arrow keys on the numeric keypad. If you need to enter numbers while using the Setup program and you want to use the numeric keypad, press Num Lock to turn it back on.

Follow the instructions in the rest of this chapter to use the Setup program to define your computer’s configuration.

Setting the Display Adapter Type

The Setup program can usually detect the exact type of display adapter you are using with your computer. If you have connected a VGA monitor to the built-in VGA port, Setup automatically sets the display adapter type. (With this option you select the type of display adapter you are using-not the type of monitor.) If you have installed a display adapter card-or you just want to check the display adapter setting-follow these steps.

Note

If you have installed an EGA or VGA display adapter card, or another type of card that you want to be the primary display adapter, you must set jumper J2 on the main system board to disable the built-in VGA interface.

If you have installed one or more video cards, you also may need to set jumper J1 to tell the computer the type of monitor you are using: either monochrome or color. If you have two types of cards, set the jumper to indicate which one is your primary monitor type. See Chapter 6 for instructions on changing jumper settings.
