Troubleshooting

■ Check that the computer and monitor are plugged into a working

electrical outlet.

■ Check to see that the computer is turned on and the green power

light is on.

■ Check to see that the monitor is turned on and the green monitor

light is on.

■ Turn up the brightness and contrast controls of the monitor if the

Troubleshooting

Quick User’s Guide 2–7

Replacing the Battery

The battery that comes with your computer provides power to the
real-time clock and has a minimum lifetime of about three years.
When replacing the battery, use a battery equivalent to the battery
originally installed on your computer. Your computer comes with a
3-volt lithium coin cell battery.

The lifetime of the lithium battery can be extended by plugging the

✎

computer into a live AC wall socket. The lithium battery is only used
when the computer is NOT connected to AC power.

WARNING: Your computer contains an internal lithium manganese dioxide

Å

battery. There is a risk of fire and burns if the battery is not handled properly. To
reduce the risk of personal injury:

■ Do not attempt to recharge the battery.

■ Do not expose to temperatures higher than 60°C (140ºF).

■ Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or

dispose of in fire or water.

■ Replace the battery only with the Compaq spare designated for this

product.

A

CAUTION: Before replacing the battery, it is important to back up the

Ä

computer CMOS settings. When the battery is removed or replaced, the
CMOS settings will be cleared. Refer to the Computer Setup Guide for
information on backing up the CMOS settings.

Quick User’s Guide A–1

Replacing the Battery

Batteries, battery packs, and accumulators should not be disposed of

N

together with the general household waste. In order to forward them to
recycling or proper disposal, please use the public collection system or
return them to Compaq, their authorized partners, or their agents.

CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of

Ä

the computer or optional equipment. Before beginning these procedures,
ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a
grounded metal object.

1. Exit all software applications, shut down the operating system
software, turn off the personal computer and any external devices,
then disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.

2. Open the chassis, then remove the hard drive and CD-ROM drive.

3. Locate the battery and battery holder on the system board.

4. To release the battery from its holder, squeeze the metal clamp
that extends above one edge of the battery.

5. When the battery pops up, lift it out.

Specifications

Operating temperature and humidity ranges may vary depending on

✎

the mass storage devices installed. High humidity levels can cause
improper operation of disk drives. Low humidity ranges can
aggravate static electricity problems and cause excessive wear of the
disk surface.

The power consumption and acoustics figures given in the tables
below are valid for the standard configuration as shipped. These
figures will vary if some components are changed or added to in the
initial configuration.

When the computer is turned off with the power button on the front
panel, the power consumption falls below 5W, but it is not zero. The
special on/off method used by these computers considerably extends
the lifetime of the power supply. To reach zero power consumption in
“off” mode, either unplug the power outlet or use a power block with
a switch.

Energy Star Compliance

Compaq Deskpro Workstations, Compaq Evo™ Desktops, and
Compaq Evo Workstations marked with the Energy Star Logo are
compliant with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Energy Star Computers Program. The EPA Energy Star Logo does
not imply endorsement by the EPA. As an Energy Star Partner,
Compaq Computer Corporation has determined the products marked
with the Energy Star Logo meet the Energy Star guidelines for energy
efficiency.

The Energy Star Computers Program was created by the EPA to
promote energy efficiency and reduce air pollution through more
energy-efficient equipment in homes, offices, and factories. Compaq
products achieve this by reducing the power consumption when not
being used. Instructions for using the energy saving features of your
computer are located in the “Power Management” section of the

Desktop Management Guide.

The power management feature of your computer is compatible with
any network operating system or environment that supports APM1.2.
This means the users in those environments will not be disconnected
from the network during the low-power operating state.

Safety & Regulatory Notices

The Power Management feature, when used in conjunction with an
external Energy Star compliant monitor, will support the power-down
features of the monitor. The Power Management feature allows an
external monitor to go into low-power mode when the energy save
timeout occurs. To take advantage of this energy savings, the monitor
Power Management feature has been preset to power down the
monitor after 15 minutes of system inactivity. Refer to the “Power
Management” section of the Desktop Management Guide for
instructions on modifying or disabling this feature.

CAUTION: Using the Energy Save Monitor feature with non–Energy Star

Ä

compliant monitors may cause video distortion when the Energy Save
timeout occurs.
