Running the SETUP Program
You need to run the SETUP program the first time you use
your computer. If your system was configured for you, you
may still need to set the date and time. If your system came
unconfigured, you need to define how it is set up. You may
need to run the program again later if you change your
configuration.
SETUP is stored in the computer’s ROM BIOS (read-only
memory, basic input/output system), so you can run it any
time. SETUP lets you verify or change the following:
Current date and time
Type of diskette drive(s) and hard disk drive(s)
System memory
Type of video display adapter
Keyboard options
Processor speed
P a s s w o r d
System booting sequence
External cache
Shadow and memory mapping options.
The configuration information is stored in an area of memory
called CMOS RAM. This memory is backed up by a battery, so
it is not erased when you turn off or reset the computer.
