This chapter provides instructions for using the Compaq
configuration and diagnostics utilities and the software backup
utilities that are preinstalled on your computer.
The configuration and diagnostic utilities can provide the
system overview you will need if you call Compaq Customer
Support for help with your computer. The configuration and
diagnostic utilities can also be used for the following:
To change factory default settings, and to set or change the
system configuration, which is sometimes necessary when
you add or remove hardware.
To solve system configuration errors detected during the
Power-On Self-Test (POST).
To establish and manage passwords and other security
features.
To establish and manage energy-saving timeouts.
To determine if all of the devices installed on the computer
are recognized by the system and functioning properly.
To determine information about the operating environment
of the system.
To back up or upgrade the diagnostics software.
When you add or remove optional equipment, the computer
must be reconfigured to recognize these changes.
In Windows 3.1: After installing optional hardware and
turning on your computer, read the messages that appear
during startup. The system will either automatically
recognize the new hardware, or it will tell you to run
Computer Setup.
