2-44 Setup and Operation
Set Date or Time
Set the date and time if you are setting up the system for the first time or you need to cor-
rect the settings. The settings remain in memory even after the system is powered off.
To set the date and time, choose “Select Date or Time” from the Main Menu and select the
date and time menu options.
To set the date, type the current day, month, and year in dd-mm-yyyy format. Press
Enter

To set the time, type the current hour, minute, and seconds in hh:mm:ss, 24-hour format.
For example, type
13:30:00
for 1:30 p.m. and press
Enter
.
NOTE:
When setting the date or time, enter any
preceding zeroes. For example, to enter 8:20
a.m. and March 7, 1995, type
08:20:00
and
03-
07-1995
.
To cancel the selection without saving the date and time, press
Esc

Maintain System Configuration Diskette
Select this option to create, load, copy, or delete any necessary system configuration in-
formation (SCI) files. You can also use this option to copy and delete configuration (CFG)
files.
Depending on the system configuration, you might want to modify the system board SCI
file. Before configuring the system, you must copy configuration files for the EISA boards,
and in some cases, ISA boards. This subsection provides copying procedures for both.
CFG files are required to correctly configure EISA boards. Every EISA board contains
settings that determine how the board works within the system. These settings are in a con-
figuration file and are copied to and stored in the system.
All EISA boards should come with CFG files. If not, check the configuration files that
come on the ECU diskette or contact the EISA board manufacturer to obtain the appropri-
ate files. If your ISA boards did not come with a CFG file, see “ISA Boards without CFG
Files” in this section.
