Chapter 2

Running the SETUP Program

You may need to run the SETUP program the first time you use

your computer. If your system came unconfigured, you need to

define how it is set up. If your system was configured for you,

you may still need to set the date and time. You also may need

to run the program again later if you change your configuration.

The SETUP program is stored in the computer’s ROM BIOS

(read-only memory, basic input/output system). SETUP lets

you verify or change the following:

Current date and time

Type of video display adapter

System memory

Type of diskette drive(s) and hard disk drive(s)

External cache

Shadow and memory mapping options

Chipset register options

System booting sequence

Password security.

The configuration information is stored in an area of memory

called CMOS RAM. This memory is backed up by a battery, so

it is not erased when you turn off or reset the computer.
