Chapter 2
Running the SETUP Program
When you use your computer for the first time, you need to
run the SETUP program to define how your system is set up.
This is a simple procedure which you must do at least once.
You may need to run it again later if you change some part of
your configuration.
The SETUP program is stored in the computer’s read-only
memory (ROM), so you can run the program any time you
turn on or reset your computer. You do not need to insert a
diskette or access the hard disk.
SETUP lets you verify or change the following:
Current date and time
Type of diskette drives(s) installed
Type of hard disk drive(s) installed
Type of video display adapter you are using
Keyboard testing function
Shadow RAM function
CPU clock speed
EMS size
Password feature
Built-in interface settings for the parallel and serial ports,
and the diskette and hard disk drive controllers.
