Checking System Memory

Your computer comes with 4MB of random access memory.

MS-DOS and application programs that run under MS-DOS use

the first 640KB of memory. You can use the memory above

1MB as extended or expanded memory.

Expanded memory can be used by application programs

conforming to the Lotus® / Intel® /Microsoft Expanded Memory

Specification (LIM EMS). Your computer is compatible with

version 4.0 of the LIM EMS.

The Memory portion of the SETUP program’s first screen

displays the total memory available and the amount of memory

contained in each of the following:

Base memory

Extended memory

Expanded memory

Reserved memory between 640KB and 1MB.

Setting the Booting Sequence

The booting sequence determines the order in which the

computer checks the drives when it looks for the operating

system.

For example, if you select

A, C,

each time you turn on the

computer it checks drive A for an operating system diskette

and loads the operating system from that diskette. If drive A

does not contain an operating system diskette, the computer

loads the operating system from drive C. This is the default

setting because you may sometimes want to boot the computer

from a system diskette in drive A.
