Option

Function

Time

Resets the time on the computer's internal clock. Time is kept in a 24-hour format (hours:minutes:seconds).

NOTE: If a network server controls the time reflected by the Time option, changing this option has no effect.

A change to the Time option takes effect immediately (rebooting is not required). However, you must reboot to make the

change apparent to the operating system.

Date

Resets the date on the computer's internal calendar.

Your computer automatically displays the day of the week corresponding to the settings in the three fields that follow

(month, day-of-the-month, and year).

A change to the Date option takes effect immediately (rebooting is not required). However, you must reboot to make the

change apparent to the operating system.

To change the date, press the right-arrow key to increase the number in the highlighted field, or press the left-arrow key

to decrease the number. If you prefer, you can type in numbers in the month and day-of-the-month fields.

Displays the capacity of the computer's internal hard-disk drive. This option does not have any user-selectable settings.

NOTE: The optional second or third hard-disk drives do not appear in this option, even if installed.

settings are available for this option.

Diskette Drive B
