Configuring Your Computer 43
System Setup
System Setup is a program that configures your computer and
saves the configuration in battery-maintained memory.
Ordinarily, you do not need to use this program. However, you
may wish to run System Setup to set the date or time, to establish
a password, or to alter the settings for other features. You may
need to run the program to configure a newly installed piece of
hardware.
The computer includes security features, such as password
creation, port locking, and screen blanking. These are
configured in System Setup.
Starting System Setup
Turn the computer on. The computer will display the following
message as it starts:
To run System Setup, press <F1> now.
To start System Setup, press <F1> while the message is on
screen. If you do nothing, the computer bypasses System Setup
and continues its start-up routine.
You can deny users access to the System Setup program
by setting jumper block J1F1-B on the system board. See
“Setting the Password Jumper” on page 54 for more
information.
For the location of the jumper, see the illustration in the back of
this manual.
Using System Setup
When you start System Setup, the Main Menu appears. From
the Main Menu you can:
•
Set the date and time.
•
View your current hardware configuration
•
Access a secondary menu, such as Floppy or Boot.
