2 Introduction

System Memory

System memory includes base (conventional) and extended memory. Operating systems such as MS-DOS,® OS/ 2,® UNIX Novell® NetWare,® NextStep, base memory. For better performance, OS/ 2, UNIX, NetWare, and NextStep-as well as many MS-DOS applications-use extended memory.

The system supports up to 128MB of RAM, which can be installed using 72-pin, 70ns (nanosecond) or faster SIMMs.

and all application programs use

Cache Memory

The Pentium microprocessor includes 16KB of internal cache. The core chip set includes a cache controller that also supports the 256KB of secondary cache memory installed on the main system board.

Video

The system contains an onboard AT1 Mach32 extended super VGA, local bus PCI controller that provides superior graphics performance. The video subsystem is backward compatible with MDA, CGA, Hercules@ Graphics, EGA, and VGA video standards. The system supports non-interlaced as well as interlaced monitors.

The computer comes with 1MB of VRAM providing resolutions up to 1024 x 768 in 256 colors. You can install an additional

1MB of VRAM (2MB total) to provide a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024 in 256 colors.

Introduction 3

You can use the VESA compliant, 8514/A feature connector on the system board if you install an auxiliary video subsystem in one of the expansion slots, such as an 8514/A compatible video card or DVI® board.

Video drivers for the Mach32 controller, and drivers and utilities for Windows 3.1 are included on the AT1 Mach32 driver diskette.

Mass Storage

The system supports up to four drives, 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch. A removable drive carrier bay holds up to two 3.5-inch drives, including the 1.44MB diskette drive that comes with your system. The other drive bay holds up to two 5.25-inch drives

(or 3.5-inch drives with 5.25-inch mounting frames), either one full-height or two half-height.

In these bays, you can install optional diskette or hard disk drives, as well as tape drives, CD-ROM drives, and optical drives.

System BIOS

The system BIOS is contained in a flash EEPROM on the main

system board. The BIOS includes the following:

ISA and PC1 campatibility

Power-on self test (POST) routines

Setup program

PC1 auto-configuration utility (described below)

BIOS update and recovery code.

4 Introduction

Your computer supports shadowing of the system BIOS to allow any BIOS routines to be executed from fast, 32-bit RAM instead of from the slower, S-bit flash device.

PCI Auto-configuration

The PC1 auto-configuration utility works in conjunction with the Setup program to support PC1 expansion boards. The utility complies with version 2.0G of the PC1 BIOS specification. When you turn on the computer’s power after installing a PC1 board, the BIOS automatically configures interrupts, DMA channels, I/O space, etc. Since PC1 boards use the same interrupt resources as ISA expansion boards, you must specify the interrupts used by the ISA boards in the Setup program.

BIOS Upgrades

Because the BIOS is stored in a flash EEPROM device, you can easily upgrade the BIOS without replacing the chip. The flash upgrade process can be done by running a utility from a diskette or hard disk, or over a network.

Chapter- 1

Setting Up Your System

This chapter explains how to set up your system, including:

Choosing a location

Setting the input voltage

Checking the power cord

Installing optional devices

Locating front panel and back panel features

Turning the computer on and off.

Choosing a Location

When you are ready to set up your system, choose a safe,

convenient location that provides the following:

A flat, hard surface. Surfaces like beds and carpets attract static electricity, which can erase data on your disks, damage the computer’s circuitry, and prevent proper ventilation.

Moderate environmental conditions. Select a cool, dry area and protect your computer from extremes in temperature, humidity, dust, and smoke. Avoid direct sunlight or other sources of heat.

Good air circulation. Leave several inches of space around the computer so air can move freely.

Setting Up Your System l-l

No electromagnetic interference. Do not place your system too close to any electrical device, such as a telephone or television, which generates an electromagnetic field.

Appropriate power source. Connect all your equipment with the appropriate power cords for the power source in your area. See “Checking the Power Cord” on page 1-3 for more information.

Setting the Input Voltage

A 145 Watt power supply is integrated into the system to provide power for system resources, expansion boards, and drives. You can use the voltage selector switch on the back panel to set the power supply to operate at 115 VAC (in the range of loo-120 VAC) or 230 VAC (in the range of 200-240 VAC).

Verify that your system has the correct setting by checking the voltage selector switch. When set correctly, the selected voltage is displayed on the switch. If you need to change the setting, use a pen or other pointed tool to slide the switch to the left or right.

Caution

Be sure to check the voltage selector switch setting before

you turn on the computer so you do not damage your

system.

1-2 Setting Up Your System

Checking the Power Cord

If the power cord supplied with this system is not compatible with the electrical outlet in your region, you must obtain a suitable power cord that meets the following criteria:

The cord must be rated for use with the available AC voltage that is at least 125% of the current rating of the product.

The connector at the end of the cord that plugs into an electrical outlet must be a grounding-type male plug

designed for use in your region. It must have certification marks showing certification by an agency acceptable in your region.

Setting Up Your System

1-3

The connector at the product end of the cord must be an IEC type CEE-22 female connector.

The cord must be less than 14.8 feet (4.5 meters) long.

Caution

Do not attempt to modify or use the supplied AC power cord if it is not the exact type required.

InstallingOptional Devices

Before you install optional devices, such as drives, expansion boards, and software, be sure to connect a keyboard and a monitor, turn on your computer, and let it run the power-on

self test. (See “Turning On the System” on page 1-6 before you

turn on the power.)

Once your system has started successfully, you can turn it off and add the rest of your optional devices.

Note

If you plan to operate your system without a keyboard or a monitor (for example, as a network server), you must still connect these devices to test the system and run the Setup program. You can disconnect them after you perform these

steps.

Note

Your computer does not include a Reset button. To reset your system, you must press Ctrl Alt Del or turn the computer off, wait 20 seconds, and then turn it back on.

Setting Up Your System 1-5

Back Panel Features

Turning On the System

Before you turn on your computer, check the following safety rules to avoid accidentally damaging your computer or injuring yourself

Do not connect or disconnect any peripheral device cables (including the keyboard or a mouse) or power cables unless the computer’s power is off.

Never turn off or reset your computer while a disk drive light is on. This can destroy data stored on the disk.

Never turn on the computer with a protective card in a diskette drive.

Always wait at least 20 seconds after you turn off the power before you turn it on again to prevent possible damage to the computer’s electrical circuitry.

1-6 Setting Up Your System

To turn on the system, first turn on your monitor, printer, and

any other peripheral devices you have installed. Then press the power button on the computer’s front panel. The green power light goes on and the system begins its power-on self test.

Each time you turn on the system, the self test checks the

system board, memory, keyboard, and certain installed peripheral devices. During the memory test, the screen displays the amount of memory that it has tested. The self test can take up to 60 seconds to complete. If you do not want to wait for the memory test to complete, you can stop it by pressing ESC. (The computer does not test memory after you press Ctrl Alt Del.)

It is unlikely that any errors will occur during testing. If the self test does find an error, it may display an error message or emit

a series of beeps (called beep codes). See Chapter 7 for a description of error messages, beep codes, and troubleshooting procedures for your system.

After a moment you see the following prompt:

Press <Fl> to run Setup

If you want to start the Setup program, press F1. You have from two to five seconds to press F1 before the prompt disappears and the system boots.

Setting Up Your System 1- 7

Turning Off the System

Whenever you turn off your system, follow these steps:

Save your data and exit any application program you are using.

Check the hard disk drive and diskette drive access lights to make sure they are not on. Do not turn off the computer if a drive light is on because you can damage the drive or lose data.

Remove any diskette(s) from the diskette drive(s)

Press the power button to turn off the computer.

Turn off the monitor, printer, and any other peripheral devices.

1-8 Setting Up Your System

Chapter 2

Running the Setup Program

Your computer’s Setup program is built into the system BIOS

so you can change and store system configuration information without inserting a diskette. This information is stored in

CMOS RAM, which is backed up by a battery even when the computer’s power is off.

You can use Setup to change or verify information about your

system, such as the types of drives installed in the computer, the amount of memory installed, and whether a password and various other functions are enabled.

You need to run Setup the first time you use your computer

and you should also run it after you do any of the following:

Change the system configuration (for example, adding a drive or installing memory)

See a system prompt to run Setup because a configuration error was detected

Replace the real-time clock.

Running the Setup Program 2-1

Starting the Setup Program

When you boot the system, it performs a power-on self test which checks the settings stored in CMOS RAM against the actual hardware configuration. Your next step after booting depends on what the test finds, as described in the table below.

2-2 Running the Setup Program

The Setup program initially displays a menu of general utilities

and actions. This general menu also provides the option of

saving or discarding Setup changes that you’ve made. Under each utility listed in the menu are Setup options for modifying your configuration.

To select a menu item, press the up, down, right, or left arrow keys. Use PgUp or PgDn to change the setting of the selected option. The keys you can use are listed at the bottom of each

Setup screen.

You can also use the following function keys in Setup; not all of the keys are available on every screen.
