Running the Setup Program

The first time you use your computer after setting it up, you
need to run the Setup program on the Reference diskette. The

Setup program lets you update the following for your computer:

The amount of memory installed

The type of video display adapter installed

The math coprocessor status

The number and type of disk drives (“mass storage”)

installed

The internal clock’s time and date.

You probably do not need to change all these settings; just

change the ones that apply to your computer. For example, if
you have added no extra equipment and have a color graphics

monitor, you would use the Setup program to set the internal
clock’s time and date.

Your computer stores the information you enter with the Setup

program in a special memory area, called CMOS RAM, which

is backed up by a battery. When you turn off the computer, the

computer stores the Setup information in this memory. When

you turn the computer on, it searches the CMOS RAM to

obtain the correct configuration information. If there is a
difference between the information in CMOS RAM and the
actual configuration, you see a prompt to run the Setup

program.

To start the Setup program, follow these steps:

1. Insert the Reference diskette into drive A.

2. If you are not already logged onto drive A, type

A:

and

press

Enter.
