Setting the Real-time Clock
The real-time clock in your computer continously tracks the
time and date-even when the computer is turned off. The first
time you run Setup, use the Real-time clock option to
set the time and date for your computer. You may need to use
this option again later to adjust your system for daylight savings
time. The computer automatically changes the date for leap
years.
Note
Follow these steps to set the real-time clock:
1. At the main menu, highlight Real-time clock. If
the time and date have been previously set, the current
settings appear:
Time
09:16:52
Date
08-29-1990
If the time and date are correct, you can skip the rest of this
section.
If the time and date are incorrect, go to step 2 below.
If the time and date have never been set, the submenu
contains a template for you to fill in:
Time xx:xx:xx
Date
xx-xx-xxxx
Go to step 2.
