CD-ROM drives
The BIOS will detect the presence of a CD-ROM drive when the
computer is turned on. It will be shown as CD-ROM Drive 2
(allowing for Hard Disk Drives 0 and 1). You can manually
configure the IDE Performance parameter of the CD-ROM drive in
the same way as a hard disk drive.
Date and Time
Use this to adjust the motherboard’s Real Time Clock (RTC). This
clock is maintained by a battery while the computer is turned off.
Time
The time is in 24-hour format. Use the LEFT ARROW and RIGHT
ARROW keys to move from hours to minutes to seconds. To enter
new values use the number keys, or the PLUS (+) and MINUS (–) keys
to increase or decrease the number.
Date
The date is in the usual Day/Month/Year format. The procedure for
altering the date is the same as for altering the time.
Once the correct date is set you should not need to set it again. The
computer accounts for leap years automatically.
System Security
This is to allow you to set, change or delete passwords for either
general or administrator use. You can also control access to the
computer’s hard disk and diskette drives.
The password options are intended for computers that lack more
sophisticated security systems. You should not use these options on
an Apricot LS340 computer with a built-in LOC Technology
security system.
