Chapter 2 Running the Setup Program The first time you use your computer after setting it up, you need to run the Setup program on the Reference diskette. The Setup program lets you update the following for your computer: The amount of memory installed The type of video display adapter installed The math coprocessor status The number and type of disk drives ("mass storage") installed The internal clock's time and date. You probably do not need to change all these settings; just change the ones that apply to your computer. For example, if you have added no extra equipment and have a color graphics monitor, you would use the Setup program to set the internal clock's time and date. Your computer stores the information you enter with the Setup program in a special memory area, called CMOS RAM, which is backed up by a battery. When you turn off the computer, the computer stores the Setup information in this memory. When you turn the computer on, it searches the CMOS RAM to obtain the correct configuration information. If there is a difference between the information in CMOS RAM and the actual configuration, you see a prompt to run the Setup program. To start the Setup program, follow these steps: 1. Insert the Reference diskette into drive A. 2. If you are not already logged onto drive A, type A: and press Enter. Running the Setup Program 2-1
