DEFINITION

Classification: 713/1

DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM INITIALIZATION OR CONFIGURATION (E.G., INITIALIZING, SETUP, CONFIGURATION, OR RESETTING):

(under the class definition) Subject matter comprising means or steps for establishing an original operating parameter or data for a computer or digital data processing system.

(1) Note. The means or steps for establishing the original operating parameter or data may be related to, for example, extended or expanded memory, device driver, path, file, buffer, disk management, etc.
