Chapter 1 Setting Up Your System This chapter briefly describes how to set up your computer. It includes the following information: Getting started Connecting the computer Running the SETUP program Post-SETUP procedures. Getti n g Started Follow the instructions below for choosing a location for your new system and unpacking it.
Good air circulation. Leave several inches of space around the computer so air can move freely. No electromagnetic interference. Do not place your system too close to any electrical device, such as a telephone or television, which generates an electromagnetic field.
Connecting the Computer Use the illustration below to locate the ports on the back of your system as you connect the keyboard, monitor, printer, and other devices. Connecting a Keyboard To connect a keyboard, hold the cable connector so the arrow on the connector faces up.
When you install the drivers for your mouse, make sure you identify the port to which you connected it. See the README file on the diskette that came with your mouse for more information. Connecting a Monitor The way you connect your monitor to the computer depends on the type of monitor you have.
6. Plug the other end of the power cord into an appropriate grounded electrical outlet or into the power outlet on the back of the system. Caution Before you plug the monitor’s power cord into the back of your computer, make sure the monitor’s power requirements do not exceed 1 Amp.
Using the serial ports If you have a printer, a modem, or a mouse with a serial interface, you can connect it to one of the serial (Rs232C) ports on the back of the computer. Make sure you have a cable compatible with a DB-9P connector. To connect a serial device, insert the connector into one of the ports marked COM1 and COM2.
Turning On the Computer After you set up your system, you are ready to turn on the power. Use the illustration below to identify the parts of your system.
Follow these steps to turn on your system: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Turn your computer around so the front panel faces you. Place your monitor, printer, and other devices in a convenient arrangement. If there is a protective card in the diskette drive, remove it now.
Running the SETUP Program You need to run the SETUP program the first time you use your computer. If your system was configured for you, you may still need to set the date and time. If your system came unconfigured, you need to define how it is set up.
Starting the SETUP Program You can run SETUP whenever you see the operating system command prompt, such as: C:> or A:> To start SETUP, hold down Ctrl and Alt, then press S.
Whenever you are in the SETUP program, the bottom of the screen lists the keys you can press to perform specific functions. Displaying System Information The SETUP program provides a system informatio.
Setting the Diskette Drive(s) On your system, diskette drive A is the 3.5-inch high-density drive installed in the lower drive bay on your system. You may also have another drive of a different size or capacity; this is drive B. Check the settings for both drives and correct them if necessary.
Hard disk drive types The table below lists standard hard disk drives. Check this table and your drive documentation to find the correct type number. If none of the types listed matches your drive, see page 1-15.
Hard disk drive types (continued) 1-14 Setting Up Your System.
Defining your own drive type If the parameters for your hard disk (listed in its documentation) do not match any of the types listed in the table above, you can define your own type. Follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. Move your cursor to Hard Disk 1 or 2 and press + or - until you see drive type 48 or 49.
Checking System Memory Your computer comes with 4MB of RAM on a SIMM. DOS and application programs that run under DOS use the first 640KB of memory. You can use the memory above 1MB as extended memory. When you boot your system, the system BIOS detects the type of RAM and updates the total memory size automatically.
Video display type options Setting Keyboard Options Two options in the SETUP program allow you to control keyboard settings: the Keyboard option and the NumLock on at boot option. For this system, the Keyboard option in the SETUP program has no effect.
Setting the Processor Speed The CPU Speed option sets the processor speed to fast or slow. At fast speed, your processor operates at its fastest speed (25,33, 50, or 66 MHz, depending on the speed of your microprocessor). At the slow speed setting, the processor operates at 8 MHz to provide compatibility with older application programs.
Enabling an External Cache If you have installed external cache in your system, set the External Cache option to Enabled.You must also set your shadow video and BIOS options to Cacheable or WP-Shadow. Setting Shadow ROM Options Your computer can access RAM faster than ROM.
Using Other Shadow Options Eight additional shadow options are available, allowing you to shadow 16KB at the memory address listed on the screen. You may want to enable one or more of these shadow options if you are using option cards that contain ROM.
Post-SETUP Procedures After you run SETUP for the first time, you may need to install the operating system on your computer. See your operating system manual for instructions. Once you have installed your operating system, install any software you plan to use.
Chapter 2 Using Your Computer This chapter briefly describes the following operations: Inserting and removing diskettes Stopping a command or program Resetting the computer Using the password Changing the processor speed. Inserting and Removing Disks To insert a diskette into a 3.
