When you finish using the Setup program, select the Exit option from

the main menu. The program displays a list of the current settings you just
made. Check the list before placing the settings in CMOS RAM. Below the

list you see this menu:

Change settings

Exit without saving

EXIT AND SAVE

If any setting is incorrect, press

Enter.

The main menu is displayed

again, and you can correct the setting.

If you did not make any changes, or if you want to cancel the changes

you made, you can return to the OPERATION MENU or the MS-DOS

prompt without re-booting the computer. Press 1 to highlight

Exit without

saving, and press

Enter.

When the settings are correct, press 2 to highlight

EXIT AND

SAVE

and press

Enter.

If you only changed the real-time clock, the

MS-DOS prompt reappears. Otherwise, the program resets the computer

using the new configuration.

If the computer displays a Setup error message during the power-on self

test, run Setup again and check all your settings.

Setting the Real-time Clock

Your computer automatically keeps track of the time and date using a

real-time clock. Because the clock is backed up by a battery, it keeps track of

the time and date even while the computer is turned off.

The MS-DOS TIME and DATE commands, as well as many software

packages, display the time and date held in the clock, but they cannot make

permanent changes to the time and date settings.

Use the Real-time clock option if you need to change the time and date

permanently. For example, you may need to change the clock to accommo-

date seasonal adjustments, such as daylight saving time. Your computer

automatically adjusts for leap years. Note that even though MS-DOS and

your applications programs may use a different format, the real-time clock

uses a 24-hour time format to store the time.
