Running SETUP and Installing Drivers
Your computer has a configuration program, SETUP, contained
within the BIOS chip on the system board. This program allows
you to change the settings for your hardware configuration.
The computer also comes with diskettes containing drivers and
utilities that let you take advantage of some of the advanced
features of your system, like the local bus hard disk drive
interface and the local bus SVGA capabilities of the built-in
video interface.
This chapter describes using SETUP and provides instructions
for installing the local bus IDE drivers and video drivers.
Using SETUP
You may need to run the SETUP program the first time you use
your computer. If your system came unconfigured, you need to
define how it is set up. If your system was configured for you,
you may want to check the settings or adjust the date and time.
You also may need to run SETUP again later if you change
your configuration.
SETUP lets you verify or change the following:
System settings such as date, time, diskette drives, and type
of video display
Automatic or manual selection of hard disk drives
Automatic or manual selection of advanced hardware
features for optimizing system perform ante
System booting options
