Using Your Computer
This chapter covers the following basic procedure for using
your computer:
Changing the operating speed
Using special keys on the keyboard
Stopping a command or program
Using disks and disk drives.
Changing the Operating Speed
Your computer can operate two speeds: if you have TriGem
386X, the system can operate 25MHz or 8MHz, and if your
system is TriGem 386XE, it can operate 33MHz or 8MHz.
At 25MHz or 33MHz, the computer performs all tasks faster,
and almost all programs may be run at 25MHz or 33MHz.
However, some option cards and application programs require
the lower speed. See your option card or application program
manual to make sure that you can use the higher speed before
selecting it.
Keyboard Method
The following keystroke sequences can be used to set the
processor clock speed.
