Epson 3865X Plus - Manual (Page 36)

Chapter 2
Running the Setup Program
The first time you use your Equity 386SX PLUS, you need to
run the Setup program on the Reference diskette to define the
computer’s configuration. This is a simple procedure you must
do at least once. (You may need to do it again later, if you
change the configuration.)
The Setup program automatically configures parts of your
system and lets you set (or change) the following for your
computer:
Display adapter type
Power-on password
Processor speed
Keyboard and speaker functions
Real-time clock’s time and date
Hard disk drive configuration
Diskette drive type(s)
Serial and parallel port settings.
The configuration you define with the Setup program is stored
in the computer’s CMOS RAM, which is permanent because it
is backed up by a battery. Whenever you turn on the computer,
it searches the CMOS RAM for the correct installation
information. If the computer discovers a difference between the
information in the CMOS RAM and its actual configuration, it
prompts you to run the Setup program.
