Preface

Ergonomics

We designed your Multimedia PC system to be functional as well as attractive. To get most out of it, here are some suggestions on how to position and use the computer:

• The top third of the LCD (screen) should be at eye-level or slightly below.

• The LCD should be at least 18"/45cm. directly in front of you.

• If the screen resolution makes you strain to read, then adjust the resolution to somethin g more comfortable (see “Video

Features” on page 1 - 14).

• Angle the LCD (see “Tilting the LCD Screen” on page 1 - 7) so that it doesn’t reflect any light into your eyes.

• Use a chair which offers good back support (especially lower-back). The seat should allow your feet to rest flat on the floor or on a footrest directly in front of you.

• If possible, illuminate your work area with natural daylight or use a steady-glowing (non-flickering) light source.

• Place the keyboard and mouse so that your arms are at your sides and your forearms are roughly parallel to the floor. Your wrists should flex slightly downward as you work. Your neck and shoulders should also be relaxed.

• T ake a break from the computer. Get up, stretch, flex your wrists, walk about, and look at something else for about 10 minutes every hour.

VIII

Preface

Lighting

Proper lighting and comfortable display viewing angle can reduce eye strain and muscle fatigue in your neck and shoulders.

• Position the display to avoid glare or reflections from overhead lighting or outside sources of light.

• Keep the display screen clean and set the brightness and contrast to levels that allow you to see the screen clearly.

• Position the display directly in front of you at a comfortable viewing distance.

• Adjust the display-viewing angle to find the best position.

LCD Screen Care

To prevent image persistence on LCD monitors (caused by the continuous display of graphics on the screen for an extended period of time) take the following precautions:

• Set the Windows Power Plans to turn the screen off after a few minutes of screen idl e time.

• Use a rotating, moving or blank screen saver (this prevents an image from being displayed too long).

• Rotate desktop background images every few days.

• Turn the monitor off when the system is not in use.



Carrying the Computer

We strongly recommend using both hands to move the computer (one hand gripping the handle area and the other gripping the computer) to avoid accidentally dropping it. Be careful that objects such as belt buckles etc. do not scratch the screen while it is being carried.

Audio Jacks

Note that the system has two sets of audio jacks as well as internal speakers. All the audio jacks cannot function at the same time and are therefore assigned a priority

order depending on your audio connections.

• Priority 1 = The audio jacks at the front of the computer. Thus the audio

jacks at the side of the computer and the internal speakers are disabled (e.g if you connect headphones to the headphone-out jack at the front of the computer then speakers/headphones connected to the headphone-out jack at the side of the computer are disabled).

• Priority 2 = The audio jacks at the side of the computer. Thus the internal

speakers are disabled (e.g if you connect speakers to the headphone-out jack at the side of the computer then the internal speakers are disabled).

• Priority 3 = The internal speakers. If there are no audio connections to any of

the audio jacks, then the audio output will default to the internal speakers.

Power Management

Chapter 3: Power Management

Overview

To conserve power, especially when using the battery, your computer power management conserves power by controlling individual components of the computer (the monitor and hard disk drive) or the whole system.

This chapter covers:

• Turning on the Computer

• Power Plans

• System Power Options

• Configuring the Power Button

The computer uses enhanced power saving techniques to give the operating system (OS) direct control over the power and thermal states of devices and processors. For example, this enables the OS to set devices into low-power states based on user settings and information from applications.

Using some form of power management greatly increases the life span of the LCD.



OS Note

Power management functions will vary slightly depending on your operating system. For more information it is best to refer to the user’s manual of your operating system.

(Note: All pictures used on the following pages are from the Windows Vista OS.)

System Power Options

You can use the system power options to stop the computer’s operation and restart where you left off. The system features Sleep and Hibernate power saving states.

Hibernate vs. Shut Down

Hibernate and Shut Down are the same in that the system is off and you need to press the power button to turn it on. Their main difference is:

When you come back from hibernation, you can return to where you last left off (what was on your desktop) without reopening the application(s) and file(s) you last used.

You can use either method depending on your needs.

Sleep vs. Hibernate

If you want to stay away from your work for just a while, you can put the system into

Sleep instead of in hibernation. It takes a longer time to wake up the system from Hibernate mode than from Sleep mode.

Hibernate Mode In

Windows Vista SP1

If you are using Windows Vista SP1 with

4GB RAM installed, see page 8 - 9 for information on Hibernate.

Sleep uses very little system power, and takes a short time to return to full operation. After an extended period of time in Sleep the computer will save the contents of system memory (e.g. any open documents and applications) to the hard disk and shut the system down. When you are not using your computer for a certain length of time, which you specify in the operating system, it will enter Sleep mode to save power.

Hibernate

Hibernate uses no power and saves all of your information on a part of the hard disk before it turns the system off. Although it saves the most power it takes the longest time to return to full operation. You will need to enable Hibernate mode from the Advanced Settings in power plans, or you put the system directly into Hibernate mode from the Lock Button Menu. The system will resume from Hibernate mode by pressing the power button.

Chapter 5: BIOS Utilities

Overview

This chapter gives a brief introduction to the computer’s built-in software:

Diagnostics: The POST (Power-On Self Test)

Configuration: The Setup utility

If your computer has never been set up, or you are mak ing important chan ges to the system (e.g. hard disk setup), then you should review this chapter first and note the original settings found in Setup. Even if you are a beginner, keep a record of the settings you find and any changes you make. This information could be useful if your system ever needs servicing.

There is one general rule: Don’t make any changes unless you are sure of what you are doing. Many of the settings are required by the system, and changing them could cause it to become unstable or worse. If you have any doubts, consult your service representative.



BIOS Settings

Warning

Incorrect settings can cause your system to malfunction. To correct mistakes, return to Set-

up and restore the Setup Defaults with <F9>.

Overview 5 - 1

BIOS Utilities

The Power-On Self Test (POST)

Each time you turn on the computer, the system takes a few seconds to conduct a POST, including a quick test of the on-board RAM (memory).

As the POST proceeds, the computer will tell you if there is anything wrong. If there is a problem that prevents the system from booting, it will display a system summary and prompt you to run Setup.

If there are no problems, the Setup prompt will disappear and the system will load the operating system. Once that starts, you can’t get into Setup without rebooting.

The screen which appears at startup depends on whether or not you have enabled/ disabled the Boot-time Diagnostic Screen (see “Boot-time Diagnostic Screen (Ad-

vanced Menu)” on page 5 - 10).

5 - 2 The Power-On Self Test (POST)

Failing the POST

Errors can be detected during the POST. There are two categories, “fatal” and “nonfatal”.

Fatal Errors

These stop the boot process and usually indicate there is something seriously wrong with your system. Take the computer to your service representative or authorized service center as soon as possible.

Non-Fatal Errors

This kind of error still allows you to boot. You will get a message identifying the problem (make a note of this message!) followed by the prompt:

• Press <F1> to resume

• <F2> to enter Setup

Press F1 to see if the boot process can continue. It may work, without the correct configuration.

BIOS Utilities

Press F2 to run the Setup program and try to correct the problem. If you still get an error message after you change the setting, or if the “cure” seems even worse, call for help.

The Power-On Self Test (POST) 5 - 3

BIOS Utilities

The Setup Program

The Setup Utility program tells the system how to configure itself and manage basic features and subsystems (e.g. port configuration).

Entering Setup

To enter the Setup Utility, turn on the computer and press F2 during the POST. The

prompt (Press F2 to Enter Setup) seen on page 5 - 2 is usually present for a few seconds after you turn on the system. If you get a “Keyboard Error”, (usually because you pressed F2 too quickly) just press F2 again.

If the computer is already on, reboot using the Ctrl + Alt + Delete combination and then hold down F2 when prompted. The Setup Utility main menu will appear.
