- SETUP
-
-
- NOTE: The first two selections are available only on an AT type
- computer with CMOS memory.
-
- DATE / TIME
- From this selection, you may set the date and time used by the CMOS
- Clock/Calendar. Press F2 to select Time, F3 to select Date. The
- Right and Left Arrow keys are used to select the field (hour,
- minute, second for time; month, day, year for date). Type in the
- correct values and press the Enter key to change the values. If you
- wish to leave the values unchanged, type Esc instead of Enter when
- in one of the fields. After you have changed the date and time to
- correct values, press Esc to return to the menu.
-
- CMOS EDIT
- CMOS Edit permits you to change the information stored that is used
- to determine your hardware configuration when the computer is
- booted. A menu of selections is presented.
-
- DATE/TIME
- This selection is the same as Date/Time from the Setup menu.
-
- HARD DISK (C or D):
- These two selections allow you to specify what type of disk(s) are
- attached to your computer. Each refers to a physical hard disk. If
- you only have one actual disk drive that is partitioned into more
- than one logical drive, use the setup only for hard drive C. See
- Appendix D of the user's guide to help determine what type your disk
- is. If you are using a hard disk driver, such as SpeedStor or
- DMDrvr, the actual disk configuration may be determined from the
- driver at boot time rather than from the table. In that event, see
- the documentation from the hard disk manufacturer to determine which
- drive type you should use.
-
- FLOPPY DISK (A or B):
- This permits you to specify which floppy disk drives are attached to
- your computer. The choices are 5-1/4" floppy disk drives, 360K or
- 1.2M, and 3-1/2" floppy disk drives, 720K or 1.44M.
-
- BASE MEMORY
- After selecting this item, type in the amount of base memory (up to
- 640K) your computer has. If your computer is an 80286 or 80386 and
- you have more than 640K, specify the remainder as Extended memory.
- E.g. if you have 1 megabyte of memory (1024K), specify 640K as base
- memory and 384K as extended memory.
-
- EXTENDED MEMORY
- If your computer is an 80286 or 80386, specify the amount of memory
- in excess of 640K your computer has. See base memory above for an
- example.
-
- VIDEO SELECTION
- This will determine the default display characteristics when your
- computer is booted. As appropriate, select Monochrome (MDA or MGA
- adapter), Color 80 or Color 40 (CGA), or EGA/VGA.
-
- ERROR HALT
- This determines the action taken by your computer when it discovers
- an error during booting. The normal selection is Halt on All
- Errors, which will cause a message to be displayed and request an
- action from you (normally press F1 to continue) during the boot
- process if any error is detected.
-
- DONE, EXIT & REBOOT
- After you have completed editing the CMOS setup, select this menu
- item and you will be presented with a choice of Quit or Update. If
- you do not wish to put your new changes in effect, choose Quit. If
- you do wish to update the CMOS setup, press Update. Your computer
- will then reboot to place the CMOS changes into effect.
-
- SOUND CHANGE
- Select Sound On (beeps on error) or Sound Off.
-
- COLOR CHANGE
- Select Color On or Color Off (Monochrome).
-
- MONITOR CHANGE
- If you have more than one monitor attached, you may select either
- one from this menu. If you have only one monitor, you will receive
- a message to that effect as no selection is possible.
-
- FILES EDITOR
- This feature enables you to edit the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file
- on either Drive A: or Drive C: (the common DOS boot disks.) The editor
- starts in Overwrite mode. The following Function key features are
