Chapter 2 System Setup
2.1 A Quick Tour of the MDPC-4090
Before you start to set up the MDPC-4090, take a moment to become
familiar with the locations and purposes of the controls, drives, connections and ports, which are illustrated in the figures below.
The LED in the front bezel indicates the power on and off status. When
MDPC-4090 is on, the LED will be green, and if power is off, the LED
will not be lit.
When you place MDPC-4090 upright on a desktop, the front cover and
power switch will be as shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2.1: Front View of the MDPC-4090
When you open the slide cover downwards, you will see the CD-ROM
drive behind the slide cover, as shown in Figure 2-2.
MDPC-4090 User Manual 8
Figure 2.2: CD-ROM drive of the MDPC-4090
When you turn the MDPC-4090 around and look at its rear cover, you
will find the PCI/ISA expansion slot located on the right side. This slot is
covered by a side panel cover. The I/O section is distributed in the rear
side of the MDPC-4090, as shown in Figure 2-3. (The I/O section
includes various I/O ports, including serial ports, parallel port, the Ethernet port, USB ports, the microphone jack, 1394 port and so on.)

2.2 Installation Procedures
2.2.1 Connecting the Power Cord
The MDPC-4090 can only be powered by an AC electrical outlet (100 240 volts, 50 - 60 Hz). Be sure to always handle the power cords by holding the plug ends only.
Follow these procedures in order:
1. Connect the female end of the power cord to the AC inlet of the
MDPC-4090. (See Figure 2-4.)
2. Connect the 3-pin male plug of the power cord to an electrical outlet.
Figure 2.4: Connecting the power cord
MDPC-4090 User Manual 10
2.2.2 Connecting the Keyboard and Mouse
Connect the PS/2 mouse and keyboard to the I/O section of the MDPC-
4090. (See Figure 2-5.)
Figure 2.5: Connecting the mouse and keyboard
2.2.3 Switching on Power
Switch on the power switch on the front cover. (See Figure 2-1.)
2.2.4 Connecting the COM Ports 1, 2, & 3
Figure 2.6: Connecting the device to COM ports
2.2.5 Install the Ground Safety Cable
MDPC-4090 provides an Earth Ground connector (See Figure 2-3.). This
connector provides earth ground to the unit if the AC power receptacle
you are plugging into does not contain a ground prong.
11 Chapter 2
2.3 Running the BIOS Setup Program
MDPC-4090 is likely to have been properly set up and configured by
your dealer prior to delivery. You may still find it necessary to use the
BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) setup program to change system configuration information, such as the current date and time or your type of
hard drive. The setup program is stored in read-only memory. It can be
accessed either when you turn on or reset the MDPC-4090, by pressing
the "Crtl+Alt+Del" key on your keyboard immediately after powering on
the computer.
The settings you specify with the setup program are recorded in a special
area of memory called CMOS RAM. This memory is backed up by a battery so that it will not be erased when you turn off or reset the system.
Whenever you turn on the power, the system reads the settings stored in
CMOS RAM and compares them to the equipment check conducted during the power on self-test (POST). If an error occurs, an error message
will be displayed on screen, and you will be prompted to run the setup
program.
2.4 Installing System Software
Recent releases of operating systems from major vendors include setup
programs which load automatically and guide you through hard disk
preparation and operating system installation. The guidelines below will
help you determine the steps necessary to install your operating system
on the MDPC’s hard drive.
Note Some distributors and system integrators may
have already pre-installed system software prior to
shipment of your MDPC-4090.
If required, insert your operating system's installation or setup diskette
into the diskette drive until the release button pops out. (See Figure 2-7)
BIOS supports system boot-up directly from the CD-ROM drive. You
may also insert your system installation CD-ROM disk into the CD-ROM
drive. (See Figure 2-7).
MDPC-4090 User Manual 12
Power on or reset the system by pressing the "Ctrl"+"Alt"+"Del" keys
simultaneously. The MDPC-4090 will automatically load the operating
system from the diskette or CD-ROM.
If you are presented with the opening screen of a setup or installation program, follow the instructions on screen. The setup program will guide
you through preparation of your hard drive, and installation of the operating system.
Figure 2.7: Insert the disk to CD-ROM drive
2.5 Installing the Drivers
After installing your system software, you will be able to set up the
Chipset, VGA, audio, USB and Ethernet functions. All the drivers are
stored in a CD-ROM disc entitled "Drivers and Utilities" that can be
found in your accessory box.
After finishing the Windows 2000/XP installation, the system will automatically detect the CD-ROM hardware and install the CD-ROM driver
from the driver database from Windows 2000/XP when the system
reboots. Users are not required to install the CD-ROM driver themselves.
The standard procedures for installing the Chipset, VGA, audio, and
Ethernet drivers are described in Chapters 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively.
The utility directory includes multimedia programs. Refer to the
README.TXT file inside the VGA folders for more detailed information.
The various drivers and utilities in the CD-ROM disc have their own text
files which help users install the drivers and understand their functions.

These files are a very useful supplement to the information in this manual.
For your reference, the directory of drivers on the "Drivers and Utilities"
CD-ROM is:
