Accessing the Computer Setup Menu

NOTE: Computer Setup is built into the reprogrammable system ROM on the Compaq
Professional Workstation AP200 and is shipped in English only.
1. Turn on or restart the workstation.
NOTE: Do not restart the workstation while in Windows NT Workstation. Instead, exit Windows
NT Workstation by clicking Start , Shut Down, Restart the computer.
2. When the F10 = Setup message appears in the lower-right corner of the screen, press
F10.
NOTE: You have approximately two seconds to press F10. If you do not press F10 during this
time, you must restart the workstation again to access the utility.
NOTE: The F12 key initiates Network Service Boot for Remote System Installation.
3. Press the arrow keys or the Tab key to select the option you want, then press Enter.
(To return to the main menu, press Esc.)
4. To apply and save changes, select File, then Save Changes and Exit. If you selected an
option that automatically restarted the workstation, changes were applied at that time. If
you have made changes that you do not want applied, select Ignore Changes and Exit. If
you have already applied changes you now want to eliminate, select Set Defaults and Exit.
This option will restore the original system defaults.

Diagnostics Utilities

You must create a diagnostics diskette as soon as you begin to use the workstation. This is a
bootable diskette that allows you to test and inspect the hardware outside the operating system
environmentally running the Computer Checkup (TEST) or View System Information
(INSPECT) diagnostic programs.
Another Compaq diagnostics tool is Diagnostics for Windows NT, which runs under Windows
NT Workstation. For information on how to use Diagnostics for Windows NT, see "Compaq
Diagnostics for Windows NT" later in this chapter.
Creating a Diagnostics Diskette
1. With Windows NT Workstation 4.0 installed and running, insert a blank, formatted
diskette into the diskette drive.
2. Insert the SmartStart for Workstations CD into the CD-ROM drive.
3. From the SmartStart for Workstations Home Page, click Manual System Configuration.
4. Click Install Optional Compaq Software.
5. Click Create a Diagnostics Diskette.
6. Follow the instructions on the screen.
