Post-installation Setup

After you install or remove a math coprocessor, memory modules, or a memory card, you need to run the Setup program on your Reference diskette so it can automatically update the computer’s configuration information.

If you install or remove any other type of option card or device, such as a video adapter card or a diskette drive, it is important to run the Setup program to check if you need to change any configuration information. For example, if you add a hard disk, you need to let the computer know that it has the additional drive. See Chapter 2 for instructions.

Additionally you may also need to add some commands in your configuration files. See the MS-DOS Reference Manual and the manual that comes with the option card for instructions.

You may want to test a newly-installed option. Some options come with their own diagnostics test programs, and you can test others with the diagnostics programs on your Reference diskette. You can use the System diagnostics program on your Reference diskette to test the following:

D System memory

Cl 80387SX math coprocessor

QSerial and parallel ports LI Disk drives

0 Monitors and display adapters

0 Dot-matrix printers.

See Appendix C for instructions.
