Running System Configuration
The System Configuration program, provided with your
system on the Reference 1 diskette, allows you to configure
your computer. Use the program to do the following:
Learn about the configuration process
Set the date and time
Copy the configuration (CFG) files for any option cards you
install
Configure the system board and any option cards
Create one or more System Configuration Information
(SCI) files
Access other system utilities, such as System diagnostics
and hard disk utilities.
You must run the System Configuration program to configure
your system before you can use your computer for any other
purpose. You may need to run it again later if you add or
remove options, such as memory, disk drives, or option cards.
After running the program, you save your current
configuration in the computer’s CMOS and in a file called
SYSTEM.SCI. Your computer checks this information each time
you turn it on and assigns your system resources based on the
configuration options you selected.
If you want to create an alternate configuration file for your
computer or another computer, you can create an alternate SCI
file. See page 2-19 for more information.
