Password Setup
Selecting item 4 in the setup menu will start the system password
setup. You can key in a password with a maximum of seven al-
phanumeric units. The password may be kept in a DOS-formatted
diskette with a specially processed file called PASSWORD.KEY. When
a password is set, the user is given three chances to key in the
password after the system has been booted up. If the correct password
is not given during the three tries, the system will not function. The
system will ask you to insert the “key” diskette (if you have one) on
which your password is saved. lf you disable the password function,
the setup program will clear the previous passwords.
User-defined Hard Disk Type
lf none of the drive types (1-47) match your fixed disk drive specifica-
tions you have, select item 5 to configure a userdefined hard disk type.
You should key in the specifications of your hard disk (e.g., cylinders,
heads and sectors/tracks). When you finish keying in these numbers,
this user-defined option may be used and will be defined as type 48 or
49.
Note:
The cylinder number can be greater than 1024.
Shadow RAM
Shadow RAM can reduce the read time for system BIOS or video
BIOS, thereby enhancing performance. If you want to set up shadow
RAM, you should enter the setup program and select item 6.
The initial chipset default is system off and video off. You may use the
<
‘
> and <
’
> direction keys to change entries.
Exiting the Program
Once you have entered all appropriate information, you may exit the
setup program by choosing item 9. The system will restart from the
RAM test. lf at a later date you alter the configuration of your system,
you will need to go through the program again and make the ap-
propriate changes.
