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.
