Note

If you boot from a diskette, you see the Enter password

prompt. Enter your password as described under “Using a

Power-on Password” above.

You cannot change or delete a password when you boot from

the hard disk in network server mode. First insert a bootable

diskette in drive A and turn on the computer. Then change or

delete the password, as described in the previous section. If you

delete the password, the computer automatically turns off

network server mode.

Changing the Processor Speed

Your computer’s processor can operate at high speed, low

speed, and automatic speed, as well as other processor

simulation speeds. When it is at high speed, the TURBO speed

light is on.

You set the default (or power-on simulation) speed in the

System Configuration program, described in Chapter 2. If

necessary, you can temporarily change the processor speed

using keyboard commands or the ESPEED program.

High speed is the highest speed available on your processor

board and low speed simulates an 8 MHz processor speed.

Automatic speed switches from high to low speed whenever

the computer accesses a diskette. You can set simulation speeds

for various other processors using the System Configuration

program. See Chapter 2 for more information.

Certain application programs may have specific timing

requirements for diskette access and can run only at low speed.

See the manual for your program to determine if this is the case.
