Epson 4SLC2-50 User Manual

The Setup program defines your system’s configuration so

the computer uses all of its devices properly. Because your
computer was set up at the factory, the configuration information
is accurate when you first setup the computer. If you change the
computer’s configuration by adding optional devices, however,

you need to run the Setup program to update the system.

The Setup program is stored in the computer’s ROM BIOS

(read-only memory, basic input/output system), so you can run

the program any time you turn on or reset the computer. Setup lets
you verify or change the following settings:

Standard CMOS settings, such as the current date and time

and drive types

Advanced CMOS settings, such as typematic rates, startup

functions, and password checking

Advanced chipset settings, such as power management

functions.

The configuration you define through the Setup program is stored

in a special area of memory called CMOS RAM. This memory is

backed up by a battery, so it is not erased when you turn off or

reset the computer. Whenever you start the computer it checks the
settings, and if it discovers a difference between the information in
CMOS RAM and your system’s configuration, it prompts you to
run Setup. You see a message such as the following:

C M O S   d i s p l a y   t y p e   m i s m a t c h

R U N   S E T U P   U T I L I T Y

P r e s s   < F 1 >   t o   R E S U M E

If this happens, press 

F1 

to run Setup and correct the setting.
