System Setup Options
The following subsections explain in detail each of the options on the System Setup screens.
Time
Time resets the time on the computer's internal clock.
Time is kept in a 24-hour format (hours:minutes:seconds). To change the time, press the right-arrow key to increase the number in the highlighted
field or press the left-arrow key to decrease the number. If you prefer, you can type numbers in each of the appropriate fields.
Date
Date resets the date on the computer's internal calendar.
Your system automatically displays the day of the week corresponding to the settings in the three fields that follow (month, day-of-month, and
year).
To change the date, press the right-arrow key to increase the number in the highlighted field or press the left-arrow key to decrease the number. If
you prefer, you can type numbers in the month and day-of-month fields.
Diskette Drive A, Diskette Drive B, and Use ZIP as A or B
Diskette Drive A and Diskette Drive B identify the type of diskette drives installed in your computer. With the standard cabling configuration,
Diskette Drive A (the boot diskette drive) is the 3.5-inch diskette drive installed in the top externally accessible drive bay; Diskette Drive B is any
drive installed in the bottom externally accessible drive bay that is connected to the system's diskette/tape drive interface.
The option settings always match the physical locations of the drives in your computer —the first drive listed on Page 1 of the System Setup
screens is the top drive in your computer.
The options are:
