Setting the Video Display Type

The Video System option allows you to define the type of display you are using. If you have a VGA monitor that you connected to the computer’s built-in VGA port, select

If you connected a monitor that doesn’t support VGA to a video adapter card installed in your system, select either the CGA 80 X 25 or the Monochrome option. If you installed a video adapter card, make sure you disabled the onboard VGA controller by setting jumper 518 to the Off position. (See Chapter 4 for instructions.)

Checking System Memory

Your computer comes with 4MB of RAM on a SIMM. MS-DOS and application programs that run under MS-DOS use the first 640KB of memory. The memory above 1MB is extended memory.

When you boot your system, the system BIOS detects the total memory size automatically. You see the memory configuration displayed in the System Memory and Extended Memory fields on this SETUP screen.

You cannot change these values; if they are not what you expect them to be, check that the SIMM(s) are securely seated in their sockets. (See Chapter 4 to locate the SIMM sockets.)

Setting the Diskette Drive(s)

On your system, diskette drive A is the 3.5-inch high-density drive installed in the lower drive bay. You may also have another drive of a different size or capacity; this is drive B. Check the settings for both drives and correct them if necessary.
