3.3.1 Date and Time
The notebook displays the current date in MM/DD/YY format and the current time in HH:MM:SS
format. It uses a 24-hour clock; for example, 6:25 PM displays as 18:25:00.
3.3.2 Floppy Disk Drives
The default setting for Diskette Drive A is [1.44 MB 3.5-inch] and this setting applies to
both an internal and external floppy drive configuration. Diskette Drive B, by default, is set to
[None]. Enable this parameter if two floppy drives are connected to the notebook.
3.3.3 Hard Disk Drive
The default setting for IDE Drive 0 is [Auto]. With this setting, the BIOS automatically detects
your drive parameters. You can also opt to key in your drive parameters by setting this parameter
to [User]. To determine your drive parameters, look at the data on the label pasted on your
hard disk drive (or supplied in vendor documentation) and type in the parameters. Be sure to set
the correct drive parameters; otherwise an error message appears when you boot up the notebook.
We suggest you set this parameter to [Auto].
3.3.4 Large Hard Disk Capacity
The default setting for Large Hard Disk Capacity is [Enabled]. Set this parameter to
[Disabled] if you use the UNIX operating system on this computer.
