The System Setup Option From the System Setup screen, you can set the options described below. Setting the time and date The real-time clock in your computer continuously tracks the date and time-even when the computer is turned off. Once you set the System Time and System Date options, you should not need to change them, unless you adjust the time for daylight savings or a different time zone. (The computer automatically changes the date for leap years.) Setting the video display type The Video System option allows you to define the type of display adapter you are using. If you connected your monitor to the computer's built-in VGA port, select EGA/VGA If you connected a monitor that doesn't support VGA to a video adapter card installed in your system, select either the CGA 80 X 25 or the Monochrome option. Also make sure you disabled the onboard VGA controller by setting jumpers J14 and J15 to the Off position. (See Chapter 3 for instructions.) Checking system memory When you boot your system, the system BIOS detects the total memory size automatically. You see the memory configuration displayed in the System Memory and Extended Memory fields on this SETUP screen. You cannot change these values; if they are not what you expect them to be, check that the SIMM(s) are securely seated in their sockets. (See Chapter 3 to locate the SIMM sockets.) 1-10 Setting Up Your System
