EXPANDING YOUR COMPUTER
Your Alpha Micro VAR can assist you with setting up, expanding or servicing your
computer.
Once your computer is configured with the basic components, you may want to install
any additional sub-systems purchased with your basic computer. Or, you may want to
change your basic configuration to add more users, change memory allocations, etc.
Part of adding new hardware to the computer involves changing the system initialization
command file to define the new hardware to it. Changing the allocation of system
resources also requires changing the system initialization file. For information on
modifying this file, refer to the
System Operator’s Guide to System Initialization
.
Please read that document carefully; modifying the system initialization command file
without understanding its elements is very dangerous—a serious mistake could damage
the file and leave your computer unable to boot from your System Disk.
NEVER
modify
the file directly. Make a copy of it; then change and test (MONTST) the copy.
GETTING ASSISTANCE
If you have followed all of the instructions in this chapter, but for some reason your
computer is not working, you probably want help. First, please turn to Chapter 7,
"Troubleshooting," and see if one of the problems listed in "The Symptoms," is one you
are experiencing. If the solution in that chapter does not cure your problem, or if your
problem is not listed, it’s time to get some outside help—call your VAR.
