The System Setup Option

From the System Setup screen, you can set the options

described below.

Setting the time and date

The real-time clock in your computer continuously tracks the

date and time-even when the computer is turned off. Once

you set the

System

Time and

System

Date options, you

should not need to change them, unless you adjust the time for

daylight savings or a different time zone. (The computer

automatically changes the date for leap years.)

Setting the video display type

The Video System option allows you to define the type of

display adapter you are using. If you connected your monitor

to the computer’s built-in VGA port, select

EGA/VGA

If you

connected

a monitor that doesn’t support VGA to a

video adapter card installed in your system, select either the

CGA 80 X 25

or the

Monochrome

option. Also make sure

you disabled the onboard VGA controller by setting jumpers

J14 and J15 to the Off position. (See Chapter 3 for instructions.)

Checking system memory

When you boot your system, the system BIOS detects the total

memory size automatically. You see

the

memory configuration

displayed in the System Memory and

Extended Memory

fields on this SETUP screen.

You cannot

change these values; if they are not what you

expect them to be, check that the SIMM(s) are securely seated

in their sockets. (See Chapter 3 to locate the SIMM sockets.)
