Using the System Setup Option
When you select this option, you see the System Setup screen.
From this screen, you can set the system time and date, define
your video display type, check system memory, and define the
diskette drives.
Move the cursor to the value you want to change. Then
increase or decrease the value until you see the one you want.
Setting the time and date
The real-time clock in your computer continuously tracks the
date and time-even when the computer is turned off. Once
you set the system Time and system Date options, you
should not need to change them, unless you adjust the time for
daylight savings or a different time zone. (The computer
automatically changes the date for leap years.)
Setting the video display type
The
Video
System option allows you to define the type of
display you are using. If you have connected a VGA or SVGA
monitor to the computer’s built-in VGA port, select
EGA/VGA.
If you connected a monitor that doesn’t support VGA to a
video adapter card installed in your system, select either the
CGA 80 x 25
or the
Monochrome
option. If you installed a
video adapter card, make sure you disable the on-board SVGA
controller by setting jumpers J36 and J37 to the Off position.
(See Chapter 4 for information on jumper settings.)
Checking
System
Memory
Your computer comes with 4MB of RAM on a SIMM. MS-DOS
and application programs that run under MS-DOS use the first
64OKB of memory. The memory above 1MB is extended
memory.
