At high speed, the processor can access memory faster, so your
programs work faster. Unless you are using an application
program that requires low speed or an older application
program that has specific timing requirements when accessing
diskettes, leave Auto speed and Power-on low speed at
their default settings (Disabled).
The speed settings you select in SETUP take effect each time
you turn on or reset your computer. You can also change the
speed temporarily by entering a keyboard command or by
runn&~EspEEDprogram,asdexribedinChapterlofthe
.
The Software
speed change option allows you to disable
the keyboard speed changing commands if they are not
compatible with the application programs you are using.
See Chapter 1 of the User’s Guide for more information.
Note
When the processor is running at high speed, the SPEED light
on the front panel is green; when it runs at low speed, the
light is amber.
Setting the Fast Boot Option
The Fast boot option allows you to speed up power-on
diagnostic testing When you turn on your computer. When you
enable Fast
boot, your computer does not run certain system
memory tests. The default setting is Disabled.
