3-1 Standard CMOS Setup
The Standard CMOS Setup allows users to configure system components such as
hard disk drive, floppy disk drive and video display as well as date, time and boot-
up error signaling. This configuration menu should be changed when installing a
mainboard for the first time, changing hardware in your system such as the HDD,
FDD, video display, or when the CMOS data has been lost or contaminated. Choose
the Standard CMOS Setup option from the CMOS Setup Utility menu (Figure 3-1)
to display the following screen. When a field is highlighted, on-line help information
is displayed on the left bottom edge of the screen.
Date/Time
Set the date and time. Do not skip this function as all of your timed events such
as power management, saving files, etc. are based on this timer.
Hard Disk Setup (Primary/Secondary; Master/Slave)
This category identifies up to four IDE hard disk drives that have been installed in
the computer. This section does not show information on other IDE devices such
as CD-ROM drives or other hard drive types such as SCSI drives.
