Setting Up the System

This chapter describes how to use the Setup program to make changes to the list of equipment maintained by the computer. You can select Setup from the OPERATION MENU, or you can execute the MS-DOS SETUP command.

You must run Setup when you use your computer for the first time. You also need to use Setup if you change your system configuration by installing or removing optional devices, or if your system has a real-time clock and you want to alter the date or time.

Your computer stores the information you define with Setup in CMOS RAM, which is backed up by a battery. When you turn on the computer, it searches CMOS RAM to obtain the correct installation information. If there is a difference between the information in CMOS RAM and the actual configuration, you see a prompt to run the Setup program.

Using the Setup Program

To start the Setup program from the diagnostics OPERATION MENU, press 1 and then press Enter.

To run the Setup program from the MS-DOS prompt, type SETUP and press Enter.

When you start Setup, the main menu appears:

Use t and 1 to move the cursor block through the options on this menu. Once you highlight the option you want, press Enter to select it. Each

option on the main menu (except Exit) displays an additional submenu of choices.
