SET CM OS Utilit y
The
SETCMOS
utility enables you to save and restore the
computer configuration data saved in a battery-powered
CMOS RAM
by the computer’s Setup Program. This utility is
useful for:
❑
Restoring configuration data if the
CMOS
battery is
ever removed, disconnected, or fails.
Note: The
CMOS
battery is a small internal battery that
powers the
CMOS RAM
; it is completely separate from the
internal battery pack.
❑
Creating custom configuration data files for each of
your applications. For example, if one program works
best with extended memory and one works best with
expanded memory, you can use
SETCMOS
to change
configurations without having to use the Setup
Program each time you load the application.
The
SETCMOS
utility saves the current configuration data to
a file you name. The factory default file,
FACTORY.CMS
stored under the
UTILS
directory, is the file used when you
press F4 ( RESET CONFIG ) at the Laptop Manager main
menu.
When you change configuration data (for example, when
you add options or change configuration for an application),
be sure you save the data by pressing
F3 ( SAVE CONFIG )
on the Laptop Manager main menu, or you can run the
SETCMOS
utility as described in this section.
