Running the Setup Program
The first time you use your Equity 386 after setting it up, you need to
run the Setup program on the Reference diskette to define the
computer’s configuration. This is a simple procedure you must do at
least once. You may need to do it again later if you change
something.
The Setup program lets you set (or change) the following for your
computer:
l
Amount of memory installed
l
Type of video display adapter installed
l
Auto speed function
l
Shadow RAM function
l
Math coprocessor function
l
Number and type of disk drives installed
l
Real-time clock’s time and date.
The information you define with the Setup program is stored in the
CMOS RAM, which is permanent because it is backed up by a
battery. Whenever you turn on the computer, it searches the CMOS
RAM for the correct installation information. If the computer
discovers a difference between the information in CMOS RAM and
your computer, it prompts you to run the Setup program.
