1.3System Design
This section presents a design overview and functional descriptions of the key components of the
Compaq Deskpro 1000 Series of Personal Computers. All replaceable components are identified
in Chapter 3, and removal/replacement instructions are presented in Chapter 5.
1.3.1Design Overview
The desktop models of the Compaq Deskpro Series of Personal Computers use a conventional
ATX chassis to house the removable system board, expansion boards, power supply, and mass
storage devices.
All internal components are accessible when the cover—held in place by three screws—is
removed. The front bezel is a separate assembly and is attached to the chassis with release latches.
The system board is easily removed from the chassis after the cover is removed. Details of the
disassembly procedure are found in Chapter 5, “Removal and Replacement Procedures.”
A removable 3.5-inch drive cage is located to the left center of the chassis. This drive cage can be
pulled out from the top, after removing the two screws securing it to the chassis, to provide access
to cable connections and to the screws securing the drives to the drive cage. The removable drive
cage accommodates one external diskette drive and two internal hard drives. The fixed 5.25-inch
drive cage is located to the right of the removable cage and holds a maximum of two drives.
Both the removable and the fixed drive cages allow drive installation without the use of rails. Four
screws secure a drive to the drive cage, and ensure proper alignment of the drive within the cage.
Expansion boards are installed vertically into the system board. A single screw secures each
expansion board to the chassis.
The power supply is mounted in the right rear corner of the chassis. The power supply is held in
place by four screws that are installed through the rear panel of the chassis and a single retaining
screw on the inside on the chassis.

that automatically run when the system is turned on. POST checks the following assemblies to
ensure that the computer system is functioning properly:
Keyboard
Mouse
System board
Memory modules
Video
Diskette drives
Hard drives
Power supply
Controllers
If POST detects an error in the system, an error condition is indicated by an audible and/or visual
message. Table 2-1 explains the error codes and suggests a recommended course of action.

(Windows 95 installed) to deselect the automatic settings for the
board and choose a basic configuration that doesn’t cause a
resource conflict.
5. The cables for the new external device are loose or the power
cables are unplugged. Check all cables.
6. The power switch for the new external device is not turned on. Turn
off the computer, turn on the external device, and then turn the
computer on to integrate the new device with the computer.
7. If the drive is a secondary drive that has just been installed on the
same controller as the primary drive, verify that the jumpers for both
drives are set correctly.
In Windows 95, onboard serial devices that are assigned to ports other
than COM1 or COM2, have their configuration saved statically in
CMOS. When the system is rebooted, the ROM configures the device
to the static setting; when Windows 95 loads, it configures the device
to the configuration set via Device Manager. In such cases, the
configuration shown when CMOS Setup is run does not match what
was set up via Device Manager.
If these devices must be configured a certain way before Windows 95
loads, then the serial port devices on the system should only be
configured to COM1 or COM2 resources. If the system has two serial
devices plus a modem, then the first serial device can be COM1 or
COM2 or disabled, the modem can be COM1 or COM2 or disabled,
and the second serial device can be COM4 or disabled.

EMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT PRELIMINARIES
This chapter provides general service information for the computer. Adherence to the procedures
and precautions described in this chapter is essential for proper service.
4.1Electrostatic Discharge Information
A sudden discharge of static electricity from your finger or other conductor can destroy staticsensitive devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs.
An electronic device exposed to electrostatic discharge (ESD) may not be affected at all and can
work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. Or it may function normally for a while, then degrade
in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy.
Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, the
discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.
4.1.1Generating Static
Table 4-1 shows how different activities generate static electricity at different electrostatic voltage
levels.

Compaq Deskpro 1000 Series of Personal Computers4-1
4.1.2Preventing Electrostatic Damage to Equipment
Many electronic components are sensitive to ESD. Circuitry design and structure determine the
degree of sensitivity. The following proper packaging and grounding precautions are necessary to
prevent damage to electric components and accessories.
To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe containers such as tubes, bags, or
boxes.
Protect all electrostatic parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or
packaging.
Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.
Place items on a grounded surface before removing them from their container.
Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive component or assembly.
Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
Place reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or
conductive foam.
4.1.3Personal Grounding Methods
The method for grounding must include either a wrist strap or a foot strap at a grounded
workstation. When seated, wear a wrist strap connected to a grounded system. When standing, use
footstraps and a grounded floor mat.
To prevent static damage at the workstation, use the following precautions:
Cover the workstation with approved static-dissipative material. Provide a wrist strap
connected to the work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.
Use static-dissipative mats, foot straps, or air ionizers to give added protection.
Handle electrostatic sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or PCB
laminate. Handle them only at static-free workstations.
Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or test
equipment.
Use fixtures made of static-safe materials when fixtures must directly contact dissipative
surfaces.
Keep work area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and
Styrofoam.
Use field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums, that are conductive.
Use a portable field service kit with a static-dissipative vinyl pouch that folds out on a
work mat. Also, use a wrist strap and a ground cord for the work surface. Ground the cord
to the chassis of the equipment undergoing test or repair.
4.1.5Personal Grounding Equipment
Use the following equipment to prevent static electricity damage to equipment:
Wrist Straps are flexible straps with a minimum of one-megohm +/- 10% resistance in the
ground cords. To provide proper ground, a strap must be worn snug against bare skin. The ground
cord must be connected and fit snugly into the banana plug connector on the grounding mat or
workstation.
Heelstraps/Toestraps/Bootstraps can be used at standing workstations and are compatible with
most types of shoes or boots. On conductive floors or dissipative floor mats, use them on both feet
with a minimum of one-megohm resistance between the operator and ground. To be effective, the
conductive strips must be worn in contact with the skin.
Compaq Deskpro 1000 Series of Personal Computers4-3
4.1.6Recommended Materials and Equipment
Other materials and equipment that are recommended for use in preventing static electricity
include:
Antistatic tape
Antistatic smocks, aprons, or sleeve protectors
Conductive bins and other assembly or soldering aids
Conductive foam
Conductive tabletop workstations with ground cord of one-megohm resistance
Static-dissipative table or floor mats with hard tie to ground

at www.compaq.com. Third-party diagnostics software is also available.
4-4Removal and Replacement Preliminaries
4.2.2Screws
The screws used in the computer are not interchangeable. They may have standard or metric
threads and may be of different lengths. If an incorrect screw is used during the reassembly
process, it can damage the unit. Compaq strongly recommends that all screws removed during
disassembly be kept with the part that was removed, then returned to their proper locations.
✎
As each subassembly is removed from the computer, it should be placed away
from the work area to prevent damage.
4.2.3Cables and Connectors
Most cables used throughout the unit are flat, flexible cables. These cables must be handled with
extreme care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to seat or unseat the cables during
insertion or removal from the connector. Handle cables by the connector whenever possible. In all
cases, avoid bending, twisting, or tearing the cables, and ensure that the cables are routed in such a
way that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being removed or replaced.
CAUTION:
reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the computer.
When servicing this computer, ensure that cables are placed in their proper location during the

ARD DRIVES
Compaq Computer Corporation uses IDE hard disk drives that conform to two different
primary/secondary implementations. These are Conner mode and ATA-compatible mode. These
two modes are incompatible with one another.
Device 0/Device 1 Relationship
A device 0/device 1 relationship exists when there are two hard drives connected to a single port.
In this situation, one drive must be designated as the device 0, or primary, drive and the other as
the device 1, or secondary, drive. This designation is necessary because both drives cannot work
simultaneously.
Cable Select
The Compaq Deskpro 1000 Series of Personal Computers uses cable-select technology for
identifying Device 0 (primary) and Device 1 (secondary) IDE hard drives. Check that the jumpers
on the IDE hard drive are set properly for cable-select installation. Always check the label on the
drives or check Chapter 6 of this manual when a new drive is added to verify that the jumper
settings are set correctly.
Cable select may not function properly if drives other than those supported by Compaq are
installed.
The second drive on a cable-select cable can be a CD-ROM drive. However, the CD-ROM
drive must be installed in the device 1 position if a hard drive is installed on the same
cable. Ensure that both drives are set for cable-select configuration. See Chapter 6 for more
information.
If two drives are already connected to the primary IDE controller and an additional drive is
to be installed, the secondary IDE controller must be enabled. The secondary IDE
controller can be enabled by checking this option after opening the Advanced box in the
Mass Storage group of F10 Computer Setup. See Chapter 7 for more information.
When more than two drives are installed, drive performances are best when the two faster
drives are connected to the primary IDE controller and the slower drive is connected to the
secondary IDE controller.
A hard drive is installed and configured more quickly when it has first been formatted.
If your new drive includes the cable-select feature, no jumper setting changes are required.
Refer to the documentation supplied with the cable for instructions on using the cable
select feature. If you install a third-party hard drive, you will need to purchase a jumper
cable (spare part number 247568-001) from Compaq Computer Corporation.
IntelliSafe - SMART
The IntelliSafe IDE hard drives for the Compaq Deskpro 1000 Series of Personal Computers have
built-in drive failure prediction that warns the user or the network administrator of an impending
failure or crash of the hard drive.
Compaq Deskpro 1000 Series of Personal ComputersC-1
Automatic Soft-Drive Types
An automatic soft-drive type is a mechanism where the system ROM and Computer Setup provide
support for IDE hard drives that are not supported in the hard drive parameter table. Computer
Setup automatically builds a soft-drive type when it finds that a hard drive is not in the hard drive
parameter table.
The soft-drive types assign according to the table below:
Table C-1
Soft-Drive Type Assignments
DriveHard Drive TypeController
065Primary
166Primary
068Secondary
115Secondary
For hard drives that are greater than 528 MB, the system automatically translates the hard drive
parameter for DOS by logically halving the cylinders and doubling the heads. This allows DOS to
access greater than 528 MB. The translated hard drive parameters are put into the hard drive
parameter table in the shadow RAM copy of the system ROM. When using any operating system
other than DOS, you must use the Compaq User Diagnostic diskette to set up the hard drive
parameter table without translation.
