The program asks you to name the alternate SCI file you create. Do not name the file SYSTEM.SCI; this is the name of your current configuration file.

Use the third method only when you are running the configuration program on a non-target computer. This method protects you from accidentally saving the configuration you create in that computer’s CMOS. See “Using Special Modes” for instructions on using non-target modeling mode.

Loading an Alternate SCI File

To load an alternate SCI file and store it in the target computer’s CMOS, follow these steps:

1.Run the System Configuration program and select

M a i n t a i n s y s t e m c o n f i g u r a t i o n d i s k e t t e f r o m the Main Menu.

2.Select Load a backup SCI file.

3.Select the alternate SCI file you want to load from the list of SCI files displayed on the screen,

4.Exit and save the SCI file in the computer’s CMOS.

Note

You can also load an alternate SCI file by selecting Open from the Maintain SCI files menu when you are using the advanced configuration options. (See page 2-18.) This method allows you to load the file while you are looking at the View or edit details screen for another configuration. However, the Open option erases the currently loaded configuration before loading the new file.

Now the computer is configured according to the information in the alternate SCI file.
