Using the System Setup Program
2-7
A change to the Brightness option becomes effective
immediately (rebooting is not required).
Click Volume
Click Volume allows you to disable or adjust the volume
of the keyboard clicks if the Keyboard Click option is
enabled. The default setting for Click Volume is
maximum.
A change to the Click Volume option takes effect immedi-
ately (rebooting is not required).
Date
Date resets the date on the computer’s internal calendar.
Your computer automatically displays the day of the
week corresponding to the settings in the three fields that
follow (month, day-of-the-month, and year).
A change to the Date option becomes effective immedi-
ately (rebooting is not required). However, you must
reboot to make the change apparent to the operating
system.
To change the date, press the right-arrow key to increase
the number in the highlighted field, or press the left-
arrow key to decrease the number. If you prefer, you can
type in numbers in the month and day-of-the-month
fields.
Disk Time-Out
Disk Time-Out lets you determine how long your hard-
disk drive remains idle before the drive motor turns off to
conserve battery power.
The AC category is set to Disabled. There are no user-
selectable settings for this option. Settings for the Battery
category are:
The default setting is 3 Minutes if the computer is pow-
ered by a battery or 1 Minute if the computer is using AC
power. To increase battery operating time, set Disk Time-
Out to a lower number. However, if your software
requires frequent hard-disk drive accesses, using a higher
time-out setting may save battery power and time by
minimizing the number of times the hard-disk drive must
power up.
NOTE: Set Disk Time-Out to Disabled if using it causes
compatibility problems with your software.
A change to the Disk Time-Out option takes effect imme-
diately (rebooting is not required).
If you are not in the System Setup program, you can turn
off the hard-disk drive immediately by pressing
<Fn><h>. The drive resumes normal operation automati-
cally when it is accessed by the microprocessor.
Diskette Drive A
Diskette Drive A identifies the location of the 3.5-inch
diskette drive: Modular Bay, Parallel Port, or Not
Installed. There are no user-selectable settings for the
Diskette Drive A option.
Diskette Drive B
Diskette Drive B identifies the location of a second
3.5-inch diskette drive: Parallel Port, Modular Bay, or
Not Installed. There are no user-selectable settings for the
Diskette Drive B option.
Diskette Reconfig
Diskette Reconfig allows application programs that
access the diskette drive to run at their optimum speed.
Settings are At Reboot Only and Any Time.
When Diskette Reconfig is set to Any Time (the default),
you do not have to reboot after installing a diskette drive
in the modular bay or attaching a diskette drive to the
parallel connector on the back of the computer. However,
some application programs—such as virus scans—that
access the diskette drive will run very slowly if the
diskette drive is not in the modular bay or connected to
the parallel port. When Diskette Reconfig is set to At
Reboot Only, such application programs run at normal
speed, but you must reboot after installing or attaching a
diskette drive.
