Setting the Hard Disk Drive(s) Your system comes with a hard disk auto-sensing feature that automatically detects the type of hard disk drive(s) installed in your computer. (See Appendix A for a list of hard disk drive types and their parameters.) The SETUP program allows you to view or change the parameters for your hard disk drive.
Defining your own drive type If the parameters for your hard disk do not match the parameters detected by the auto-sensing feature, or if you want to use your drive with parameters other than the defaults, follow these steps to define your own type 1.
If you installed an optional video card, follow the guidelines below to select the correct adapter type. Video display type options * For these options, you must change jumpers J1 and J2 on the system board to the OFF position. See Chapter 3 for information on setting jumpers.
Setting the Processor Speed The CPU Speed option sets the processor speed to fast or slow. At fast speed, your processor operates at its highest speed. At the slow speed setting, the processor operates at 8 MHz to provide compatibility with older application programs.
You can also shadow 32KB or 64KB of memory that starts at the indicated addresses to RAM. If you enable these options, you cannot use the Relocate Memory feature between 640KB and 1024KB.
The Inactivity Timer 1 option sets the time-out period for video signals to your monitor. When the mouse or keyboard has been inactive for the time period you select here, your computer stops sending video signals to your monitor.
Exiting SETUP When you leave SETUP, you can save your settings and reboot your system, or exit SETUP without saving your settings. You can also return all values to the factory defaults.
You may also want to install the optional extended video drivers and utilities. (If your computer was configured for you, these drivers are already installed.) For more information on installing video drivers and utilities, see the README.TXT files included on your Drivers diskettes.
Chapter 2 Using Your Computer This chapter briefly describes the following operations: Working comfortably Inserting and removing diskettes Stopping a command or program Resetting the computer Changing the processor speed. Working Comfortably This section provides some tips for creating a comfortable work environment.
Be gentle with your keyboard. Too much force creates tension in your hands. Also, make sure your work surface has enough room for you to move the mouse or other pointing device freely. Use good lighting that isn’t too bright. Try to keep bright light sources out of your field of vision when you are looking at the screen.
Note The 3.5-inch drive installed in your computer is drive A. If you install another diskette drive, it is drive B. You can change the drive assignments through SETUP. To insert a diskette into a 5.25-inch drive, hold the diskette with the label facing up and the read/write slot leading into the drive.
If these methods do not work, you may need to reset the computer as described below. Do not turn off the computer to exit a program or stop a command unless you have to, because the computer erases any data you did not save. Resetting the Computer Occasionally, you may want to clear the computer’s memory without turning it off.
If resetting the computer does not correct the problem, you probably need to turn it off and on again. Remove any diskette(s) from the diskette drive(s). Turn off the computer and wait 20 seconds. If you do not have a hard disk, insert the system diskette in drive A.
To select fast speed, hold down the Ctrl and Alt keys and press + on the numeric keypad. Note You can use the commands listed above while you are running a program. However, if the program uses one of these Comman ds for another function, you cannot use it to change the processor speed.
