The hour setting uses the 24-hour
system (i.e., ØØ = midnight; 13 =
1 pm). If you can change the date
and time settings in your operating
system, you will also change these
settings. Some applications may
also alter data files to reflect these
changes.

When this control is “enabled” you
can use a floppy disk drive either
in the Drive bay or the parallel con-

Auto Limitations
The
Auto
feature may provide a
different set of parameters for the
same hard disk at different times.
However, it should be reconfig-
ured with the same parameters
you got the first time. If you use a
different set of parameters, it may
be impossible for you to read any
data on the hard disk.

This setting has several options for
choosing which method

use to detect the hard disk:
Auto

Default setting

Setup
to determine the hard
disk’s type and other infor-
mation when you press
En-
ter

mation.
