If there is a discrepancy, the computer prompts you to run the setup utility. -AFTER REPLACING THE CMOS RAM BATTERY: CMOS RAM is battery powered when AC power is removed, so it retains stored information when the computer is turned off. When the battery fails, replace it. Then, run the setup utility to re-enter the information. -When you want to enable or disable various system settings: See the field descriptions is "The Setup Screen" for details. (smc-11/09/93)
