3-5 System Setup Program
A system setup program is included in your BIOS on the motherboard.
The setup program is used to key in the configuration you want for your
system. Specifically, you can set the date, time, base memory, expan-
sion memory, number of floppy and hard disk drives and display
configuration as well as get information on hard disk types.
Your system BIOS is fully compatible with IBM BIOS. In addition, many
special functions are supported like:
a low-level fixed disk format utility
l
three system utilities (a calculator, a hard disk park, and a
l
timer)
system password
l
user-defined hard disk types
l
shadow RAM

The setup program is simple to be used. It is extremely important that
you respond correctly to the prompts about your computer.
The following will guide you through the setup program. For more
information about the setup program, refer to your BIOS manual.
