Setting the Date and Time Your computer has an internal clock that maintains the date and time. A battery keeps the clock active when you turn off the computer. To set the date and time: 1. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program (see "Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility Program" on page 34). 2. Select Date and Time from the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu. 3. Type the date and time in the appropriate fields. 4. Refer to "Exiting from the Configuration/Setup Utility Program" on page 37 for instructions on saving your settings and exiting from the Configuration/Setup Utility program. Your operating system might also have a function for setting the date and time. Refer to your operating system documentation for more information. Changing Plug and Play Control Features If you are installing a Plug and Play adapter or other device and experience problems, you might need to change certain settings in Plug and Play Control in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. Note: If you experience any error message related to Plug and Play adapters or devices, see "POST Message Charts" on page 67 for complete information on solving the problem. A setting that might affect the way a Plug and Play adapter behaves is the Address Decode setting. Most Plug and Play adapters use 16-bit address decoding (this is the default setting for Address Decode.). Some Plug and Play adapters have not fully implemented this addressing scheme. If you are experiencing problems with a Plug and Play adapter, changing the address decoding to 10-bit might fix the problem. Conversely, if you are experiencing an 1852 error message, changing the address decode setting to 16-bit might fix the problem. Another setting that affects any type of Plug and Play device is the Plug and Play Operating System setting. If you install a Plug and Play adapter or device and experience a 185x error message, and your computer will be loading a Plug and Play-compliant operating system, set this value to Yes. Note: Check your operating system documentation to determine if it supports this function. Chapter 4. Configuring Your Computer. 39
