Installation/Support Tips

Power

The computer has an input voltage selection switch on the back panel to select between 115V, for USA and Canadian use, and 230V, for use in other countries.

Mouse and Keyboard

When connecting the mouse and keyboard to the computer, be careful to plug them into the proper ports. Although the ports are physically identical, they are not interchangeable, and you can damage the main system board if you plug the connectors into the wrong ports.

Installing Diskette Drives
Make sure that the drive type has been correctly selected in the SETUP program.
Installing Hard Disk Drives

Cl It is recommended that a 16-bit, AT-type hard disk controller be used if you are installing a drive that cannot use the embedded IDE interface. If you install a non-IDE hard disk drive and controller card, you need to use the SETUP program to disable the built-in IDE hard disk drive interface.

See the hard disk drive type tables on page 7 and use the SETUP program to enter the correct type number(s) for the hard disk drive(s) installed in the computer. (Also be sure to use the SETUP program to set the hard disk drive configuration if you install or remove a hard disk drive.) You can select a type number that matches the parameters for the drive or a type number with parameters having lesser values, as long as they do not exceed the maximum capacity (in MB) of the drive. If there is no match for the drive, you can press Enter and then F2 at the Hard disk 1 or 2 option and enter the drive’s exact parameters.

Software Problems

Cl If you are using a copy-protected program that can run only on a diskette or that requires a key disk, try to load the program at high speed. If you can’t load the program at high speed, set the processor speed to automatic.

QIf you are using a copy-protected program that does not require a key disk but requires a special procedure to install it on a hard disk, set the speed to low while you install the program. Then set the speed to high while you load and run the program. If this does not work, try installing and loading the program at low speed and then change to high speed to run it.

0You can change the processor speed using the SETUP program, the ESPEED program, or keyboard commands. See the User’s Guide and Setup Guide for more information.

Password

Make sure that you do not forget the password you set. If you do, you must disable it by setting jumper J13 on the main system board to position A.
