Introducing Your TransPort LT Understanding POST

CAUTION: Never turn off or reset your TransPort LT while the hard disk or floppy disk is in use and the FDD and/or HDD status icon is lit; doing so can result in loss or destruction of your data. Always wait at least five seconds after turning off your TransPort LT before turning it back on. Turning the power on and off in rapid succession can damage the TransPort LT’s electrical circuitry.

Before you run your system for the first time on battery power, recharge the battery fully to prepare the battery pack for maximum service. When selecting a suitable working location, please consider the ventilation, temperature, dust and dirt, plus electromagnetic and RF interference. The selected location should provide a sturdy and reasonably level surface with at least four inches of open space around the computer cabinet for proper airflow. Your computer functions best at room temperature. Choose a location free from extreme heat or cold.

Except for PC cards, never connect or disconnect any equipment or components while the system power is on.

It is important not to operate the notebook on soft surfaces--such as a bed-- as this will cover the ventilation holes of the notebook.

There is one fan on the left side of the notebook, which will turn on when the

CPU temperature exceeds 60 degrees Celsius. The fan will turn off when the

CPU temperature is below 50 degrees Celsius.

WARNING: If the temperature continues to rise above the CPU allowable limit--either due to a defective fan, or the notebook being operated in an excessively hot environment, or a soft surface that covers the ventilation holes--then the notebook will shut down and all unsaved data will be lost.

Understanding POST

When you turn on your computer, a procedure called POST (Power-On Self-Test) automatically runs to test the computer components. Several messages appear on the screen during POST.

Screen messages are built into the computer to report both normal and abnormal system conditions. If an error message appears, take any action suggested in the message. If the message identifies the error condition but does not suggest any corrective action, write down the message and contact micronpc.com Technical
