Running the Setup Program
The first time you use your Equity 386/25 PLUS, you need to
run the Setup program on the Reference diskette to define the
computer’s configuration. This is a simple procedure you must
do at least once. (You may need to do it again later, if you
change the configuration.)
The Setup program automatically configures parts of your system
and lets you set (or change) the following for your computer:
❏ Display adapter type
❏ Power-on password
❏ Extended memory caching
❏ Processor speed
❏
Keyboard and speaker options
❏ Real-time clock’s time and date
❏
Hard disk drive configuration
❏ Diskette drive type(s)
❏
Serial and parallel port settings.
The configuration you define with the Setup program is stored
in the computer’s CMOS RAM, which is backed up by a
battery. Whenever you turn on the computer, it searches the
CMOS RAM for the correct installation information. If the
computer discovers a difference between the information in the
CMOS RAM and its actual configuration, it prompts you to run
the Setup program.
