Configuring the System
5-1
5.1.1
The Real-Time Clock
The real-time clock keeps the system date and time. After setting the date and
time, you need not enter them every time you turn on the system unit. As long
as the internal battery remains good (approximately seven
years) and connected,
the clock continues to keep the date and time accurately even when the power
is off.
Date
Highlight this parameter to set the date. Enter the current date, following the
month-day-year format. Whenever you want to change the date, simply
highlight the Date parameter and enter the new date.
Time
Highlight this parameter and enter the current time in the hour-minute-second
format to set the time. Whenever you want to change the time, simply highlight
the Time parameter and enter the new time.
5.1.2
Diskette Drives
Highlight the Diskette Drive A parameter to enter the configuration value for
the first diskette drive (drive A).
Press the left- and right-arrow keys to view the options.

if you don’t have a second diskette drive.
5.1.3
Fixed Disk Drives

NOTE:
See the label on the fixed disk or refer to the vendor's
