Date and Time
The current date is in “Day-of-the-week Month
Day, Year” format—for example, [Mon Aug 11,
1997]. The current time is in
“Hour:Minutes:Seconds” format. The system uses
a 24-hour clock—for example, 6:25:50 PM appears
as 18:25:50.
Floppy Drives
The default setting for Floppy Drive A is 1.44 MB
3.5-inch. Floppy Drive B is set to None, and it is
only enabled if you connect an additional external
floppy drive.
Hard Disks
The Hard Disk 0 entry refers to the computer’s
internal hard disk. With this entry set to Auto, the
BIOS automatically detects the hard disk and
displays its capacity, cylinders, heads, and
sectors. Other hard disk settings are configured
automatically for optimum drive performance.
You can change the Hard Disk 0 entry to User if
you want to enter drive settings manually. To
determine your drive settings, check the data
found on your hard disk or supplied in the hard
disk vendor documentation.
Caution: We suggest that you leave this
parameter set to Auto to allow the BIOS to
auto-detect the drive settings at each boot-up.
