Chapter 1

Setting Up the System

This chapter describes how to use the Setup program to make changes

to the list of equipment maintained by the computer. You can select Setup

from the OPERATION MENU, or you can execute the MS-DOS SETUP

command.

You must run Setup when you use your computer for the first time. You

also need to use Setup if you change your system configuration by installing

or removing optional devices, or if your system has a real-time clock and you
want to alter the date or time.

Your computer stores the information you define with Setup in CMOS

RAM, which is backed up by a battery. When you turn on the computer, it
searches CMOS RAM to obtain the correct installation information. If

there is a difference between the information in CMOS RAM and the actual
configuration, you see a prompt to run the Setup program.
