SETUP PROGRAM

The COMPAQ personal computer uses a memory
device that stores the current date, time, and
system configuration. The SETUP program, in-
cluded on both the ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS
and USER DIAGNOSTICS diskettes, enters this
information into the memory device.

3.1 WHEN TO RUN SETUP

You need to run SETUP:
□ When the COMPAQ personal computer is
used for the first time.
□ When the system configuration is changed.

□ When certain options are added to the
system including:

□ If the system board or battery is discon-
nected or replaced.
□ If a system configuration error is detected
during POST. In this situation, the system
prompts you to run SETUP so that you can
enter the correct information before
continuing.
