Important Safety Precautions

Before getting started, read these instructions and save
them for later reference.

1. Turn off the computer before cleaning. Clean with a
damp or dry cloth only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner
on screen directly.

2. The power outlet socket used to plug in the computer
power cord must be located near the system and easily
accessible. Do not use outlets on the same circuit of
the systems that regularly switched on and off.

3. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct
before connecting the computer to the power outlet.

4. If the computer is sharing an extension cord with other
devices, make sure the total ampere rating of the
devices plugged into the extension cord does not
exceed the cord’s ampere rating.

5. Do not expose the power cord, extension cord and
power outlet to moisture.

6. Install the computer on a reliable surface to prevent
damage caused by dropping.

7. This computer is not equipped with an operating
system. An operating system must be loaded first
before installing any software into the computer.

8. Disconnect the power cord from the computer before
any installation. Make sure both the computer and the
external devices are turned off. The sudden surge of
power may ruin any sensitive components. Also make
sure the computer is properly grounded.

9. During installation of any internal components, be sure
to ground yourself to keep from any static charge.
Most electronic components are sensitive to the static
electric charge. Use a grounding wrist strap and place
all electronic components in any static-shielded
devices.

10. The openings on the computer enclosure are for the
cabin ventilation to prevent the computer from
overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.

11. The brightness of the flat panel display will decrease
with use. However, hours of use will vary depending on
the application environment.

12. If the computer is equipped with a touch panel, avoid
using sharp objects to operate the touch panel.
Scratches on the touch panel may cause
mal-calibration or non-function to the panel.

13. The LCD panel display is not subject to shock or
vibration. When assembling the computer, make sure
it is securely installed.

2.2.2. Running the BIOS Setup

If you are a commercial user, the STH 15B Series should
have been properly set up and configured by your dealer. You
may still find it necessary to change the system configuration
information. In this case, you need to run the system’s BIOS
setup program.

Under the following conditions, the CMOS settings are to be
changed.

1. The system is starting for the first time.

2. The hardware devices attached to the STH 15B system

have been changed.

3. The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration

information has been erased.

The BIOS setup program is stored in ROM, which can be
accessed by pressing <DEL> key on the keyboard
immediately when the system is powered on.

In order to retain the specified setup information when the
system power is turned off, the system setup information is
stored in a battery-backed CMOS RAM. The battery is to
ensure the settings will not be erased when the computer is
turned off or reset. When the computer is powered on again,
the system will read the settings stored in the CMOS RAM and
compare them to the equipment check conducted during the
power on self-test (POST). If any error or mismatch occurs,
an error message will be shown on the screen and the
computer will be prompted to run the setup program.

To change the BIOS setup, please refer to Chapter 7 for more
information.

pre-installed proper operating system and software drivers
by your dealer or system integrator.

If the system is not pre-installed with any system OS and
drivers or you intend to install your preferred ones, there are
several ways to load OS and software into the system.

1. Via the CD-ROM

2. Via Ethernet: You can boot up the system via Ethernet

boot Rom and download system OS or software from the
network.

Recent releases of operating systems always include setup
programs that load automatically and guide you through the
installation. You can also refer to your OS user manual for
instructions on formatting or partitioning the hard disk drive
before any software installation.

7.1. Award BIOS

The Award BIOS ROM builds in a setup program, which allows
the users to modify the basic system configuration such as
the current date and time or the type of peripheral devices
attached to the computer.

Under the following conditions, the CMOS settings are to be
changed;

4. The system is starting for the first time

5. The hardware devices attached to the systems have been

changed

6. The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration

information has been erased.

The BIOS setup program is stored in ROM, which can be
accessed by pressing <DEL> key on the keyboard
immediately when the system is powered on.

In order to retain the specified setup information when the
system power is turned off, the system setup information is
stored in a battery-backed CMOS RAM. The battery is to
ensure the settings will not be erased when the computer is
turned off or reset. When the computer is powered on again,
the system will read the settings stored in the CMOS RAM and
compare them to the equipment check conducted during the
power on self test (POST). If any error or mismatch occurs,
an error message will be shown on the screen and the
computer will be prompted to run the setup program.
