USB Connectors

Legacy Module

✎

The iPAQ Desktop Personal Computer features two internal USB controllers, each providing data transfer rates up to 12 megabits per second (Mbps). One of these controllers is dedicated exclusively to a new, full-speed Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector (shown on the previous page). The other five USB connectors share the second controller.

Any USB device (including keyboard and mouse) can be connected to any USB connector. However, Compaq recommends the use of the full-speed USB connector, with its dedicated 12Mbps controller, for devices such as scanners, digital cameras, external I/O devices, and printers that can utilize the additional speed for maximum performance.

Microsoft Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 will not run properly if the Legacy Module is not installed or has been removed from the iPAQ Desktop Personal Computer. The Legacy Module is optional on systems running Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional or Microsoft Windows Millennium.

The Legacy Module (standard on select models) provides serial, parallel, PS/2 mouse, and PS/2 keyboard connectors. For more information, refer to chapter 5, “Using the Legacy Module.”

3 Quick Setup & User’s Guide

Step 3: Connect External Devices

Connect the monitor, mouse, and keyboard cables. If you use a network, connect the network cable to the Ethernet RJ-45 Connector. For easy setup, Compaq has color-coded the cables and rear panel connectors.

Quick Setup

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug telecommunications/telephone connections into the network interface controller (NIC) connectors.

PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors are available only on iPAQ Desktop Personal Computers equipped with the Legacy Module. A USB mouse or keyboard may be connected to any of the available USB connectors; however, you may want to reserve the dedicated, full-speed USB connector for USB devices, such as digital cameras, scanners, or networking devices that demand the extra speed for enhanced performance.

CAUTION: Do not add additional, optional hardware devices to your Personal Computer until the operating system is successfully installed. Doing so may cause errors and may prevent the operating system from installing properly.

Step 6: Turn On the Personal Computer and Install the Operating System

Press the power button to turn on the personal computer. Refer to “Step 2: Identify Rear Panel Components and Confirm Voltage Setting” on page 2 for the location of the power button.

The first time you turn on the Personal Computer, the operating system is installed automatically. This process takes about 10 minutes, depending on which operating system is being installed. Carefully read and follow the instructions that appear on the screen to complete the installation.

CAUTION: Once the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT TURN OFF THE COMPUTER UNTIL THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. Turning off the Personal Computer during the installation process might damage the software that runs the Personal Computer.

When the Welcome to Windows screen is displayed, the Windows installation process is complete.

Customizing the Monitor Display

You can manually select or change the monitor brand, model, refresh rates, color, resolution, and power management settings. Select the Display icon in the Windows Control Panel to change display settings, or refer to the online documentation provided with the graphics controller utility.

Protecting Your Software

To protect your software from loss or damage, you should keep a backup copy of all system software, applications, and related files stored on your hard drive. Refer to your operating system or backup utility documentation for instructions on making backup copies of your data files.

Compaq Restore CD

Along with the operating system CD, the Compaq Restore CD enables you to recover the original operating system, Internet browser, and NIC or modem drivers. This can be extremely helpful in the event of hard drive failure or corruption. Additional support software for specific models may be downloaded from www.compaq.com/support. To use the Compaq Restore CD, insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the computer. Carefully read and follow all instructions that appear on the screen.

Quick Setup

✎

CAUTION: To prevent loss of data, before using the Compaq Restore CD, be sure to back up any data files and software application files created or installed after unbundling the factory-installed software. The Restore CD will erase all files from the hard drive before restoring the original operating system, Internet browser, and NIC or modem drivers.

You may need to use the keyboard to make selections during the system restore process. USB mouse support is not available until USB mouse drivers have been restored.

For questions about or problems with this CD, please contact Compaq customer service.

Registration

Be sure to register your new personal computer with Compaq. Registration establishes a record of ownership and gives you an opportunity to receive product announcements, updates, and other communications periodically, if you choose to do so. Registration is easy—just visit the Compaq Web site at www.compaq.com/register and follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

Turning Off the Personal Computer

To properly turn off the personal computer, first shut down the operating system software. In Microsoft Windows operating systems, click Start > Shut Down.

In Windows NT Workstation 4.0, the power button always functions as a power switch. However, in the default configuration of Windows 98, Windows 2000 Professional, or Windows Millenium, pressing the power button does not turn off the power, but causes the Personal Computer to enter a low-power state. This allows you to conserve energy without closing software applications; later, you can start using the computer immediately, without having to restart the operating system and without any data loss.

If the power button is pressed and held in for four seconds, power to the Personal Computer will

Working with the Compaq Easy Access Keyboard

In addition to the standard keyboard keys, the Compaq Easy Access Keyboard offers eight Easy Access Buttons that make accessing your favorite Web sites, services, and applications easier and faster.

Easy Access Keyboard

Programming the Easy Access Buttons

All Easy Access Buttons can be reprogrammed to open any software application or data file on your hard drive, or any Internet address.

An Internet address, also referred to as a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), is simply a pointer to a Web page, file, image, newsgroup, or other resource available on the Internet. It is very similar to the path and file name used to point to a file on the Personal Computer’s hard drive. For example, the URL that points to the Compaq Web site is http://www.compaq.com.
