4. If necessary, use the controls on your monitor to adjust the
brightness and contrast until characters on the screen are
clear and at a comfortable level of intensity. If your monitor
has horizontal and vertical hold controls, you may need to
use them to stabilize the display.

The screen displays the following prompt:
press <Pa> to run SETUP
Do not press any key yet; you just want to make sure the
computer is working. (This prompt appears every time you
turn on your computer so you can run SETUP if necessary.
After a few seconds, the prompt will disappear.)
If there is no operating system installed on your computer,
you then see an error message. Ignore the message for now.
If MS-DOS is already installed on your system, you may see
the command prompt ( C : \) or a prompt to enter the date,
or your operating system may load a particular program if
it has been configured to do this.
Where To Go Next
If your system is preconfigured, the only thing you need to do
now is install any additional software and VGA device drivers
you want to use. (See your application program manuals for
instructions on
installing software.) If you are using Microsoft
®
Windows,
™
be sure to install the appropriate VGA driver(s) for
your monitor. See the
VGA Utilities Guide for instructions.
Then see Chapter 1 of the User’s Guide for important
information about operating your computer.
If your system is not preconfigured, go to Chapter 2 and follow
the instructions there to run the SETUP program. Guidelines at
the end of Chapter 2 tell you what to do next.
