Use this menu choice to set the system date and time. The system time is in a
24-hour format: hour:minute:second.
v
System Security
Select this choice to set a power-on or an administrator password. See “Using
passwords” on page 12 for more information. You also can enable the

Start Options
Select this choice to view or change the start options. Start options take effect
when you start your computer. You can designate keyboard operating
characteristics, such as the keyboard speed, or specify whether the computer
starts with the keyboard number lock on or off.
The computer uses a startup sequence to determine the device from which the
operating system starts. For example, you can define a startup sequence that
checks for a startable diskette in the diskette drive; then, checks the hard disk
drive, and then checks a network adapter. You can enable a virus-warning test
that checks for changes in the master boot record at startup. You also can
choose to run POST in the quick mode, or read the microprocessor serial
number.
v
