THINGS YOU MUST REMEMBER BEFORE WORKING ON YOUR

COMPUTER

L

ET YOUR COMPUTER ACCLIMATE ITSELF

Your computer can easily stand temperature extremes but it
doesn’t like rapid changes in temperature, like going from the cold
outdoors to a warm office. Rapid changes in temperature can
cause water droplets to condense inside your case, threatening to
damage the electronic parts inside.

After receiving your computer when it’s hot or cold outside, try not
to power up the computer immediately, let the computer adjust to
the room temperature gradually at least for three to four hours.

If your system arrives in cold weather, do not apply
power to the computer or monitor until they have been allowed to
come to room temperature.

SUITABLE PLACE TO WORK

Your computer will run well wherever you’re comfortable but
extremes of temperature and humidity can be challenging to your
system’s parts. There are some things you can tolerate that the
computer can’t – things like static electricity, dust, water, steam
and oil. In case you decide to pull over for roadside computing, try
to choose a clean, comfortable work area for your system.

Getting Started

CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE

A universal AC adapter is provided to supply your computer with
power. The adapter’s AC input voltage can range anywhere from
100 to 240 volts, covering the standard voltages available in
almost every country. The power cord for the AC adapter requires
a three-hole grounded AC outlet. To connect the computer to an
external power source:

Do not use inferior extension cords as this may
result in damage to your computer. The computer comes with its
own AC adapter. Do not use a different adapter to power the
computer and other electrical devices.

11

Never turn off or reset or move your comptuer while
the hard disk is in use; doing so can result in loss or destruction of
your data. Always wait at least 5 seconds after turning off your

Troubleshooting

This chapter describes locating and solving problems that you may
encounter while using your computer.

CHECKING CABLES AN D CONNECTIONS

Start by performing a careful visual inspection of the exterior of the
computer. If no LEDs are illuminated, make sure that your
computer and its peripherals are getting power and communicating
with each other properly.

To check the power cables, and connections:

1. If you are using the computer with the AC adapter, check the
power outlet, the power cord, and any power switches that
may affect your computer.

2. Check the wall outlet or power strip with an item that you know
is functioning properly. A lamp or radio is a convenient item for
checking the power. You may also need to check the fuses
and breakers in your electric box.

3. If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure that the
switch is on.

4. If the outlet is controlled by a dimmer switch, use a different
outlet.

5. If your computer is plugged into a power strip with an On/Off
switch, make sure the switch is on.

6. With the computer’s power switched off, check all cable
connections. If the computer is connected to any peripheral
devices, look for loose or disconnected cables.

If the computer is too close to a wall, a cable connection may be
loose or the cables may be crimped.

55

Do not substitute cables for different devices (other than
the manufacturer recommended cables) even if they look exactly
alike. The wiring inside the cable may be different.

7. When you are certain that you have power available and all

connections are good, turn the computer on again. If the
computer still does not start, you may have a hardware
problem.

GENERAL PROBLEMS

A few common hardware problems and suggested solutions are
presented below:

Question: The speakers, keyboard, mouse does not work after

connecting the peripherals to the system unit.

Answer: Be sure that the peripherals are conne cted correctly

to their respective connectors. Check if it is
connected loosely. Power up the system once again
and see to it if the system works properly. If the
speakers and monitors does not work, please refer
to their respective manuals that comes with the
peripheral for troubleshooting.

Question: After installing all the drivers and peripherals and the

system does not work, what should I do?

Answer: Please try to consult your authorized dealer or

maintenance service personnel. We strongly advice
you not to fix the system by yourself since it might
cause damage to the system.
