Chapter 2

Running System Configuration

The System Configuration program, provided with your

system on the Reference 1 diskette, allows you to configure

your computer. Use the program to do the following:

Learn about the configuration process

Set the date and time

Copy the configuration (CFG) files for any option cards you

install

Configure the system board and any option cards

Create one or more System Configuration Information

(SCI) files

Access other system utilities, such as System diagnostics

and hard disk utilities.

You must run the System Configuration program to configure

your system before you can use your computer for any other

purpose. You may need to run it again later if you add or

remove options, such as memory, disk drives, or option cards.

After running the program, you save your current

configuration in the computer’s CMOS and in a file called

SYSTEM.SCI. Your computer checks this information each time

you turn it on and assigns your system resources based on the

configuration options you selected.

If you want to create an alternate configuration file for your

computer or another computer, you can create an alternate SCI

file. See page 2-19 for more information.
