To install expansion cards, "resources" must be set.
The floppy disk drive or hard disk drive inside the PC uses predetermined paths specific to
those devices when transferring data with the CPU and memory.
These paths include I/O port addresses, DMA channels, and interrupt levels (IRQ), which are
generally called "resources."
There are two types of expansion cards: one for PCI bus and one for ISA bus.
Expansion cards for PCI bus are "Plug & Play compatible cards."
Expansion cards for ISA bus may be either "Plug & Play compatible cards" or "Plug & Play
incompatible cards."
Before installing expansion cards, read the following descriptions.
● To prevent injury and/or malfunction, do not touch PC board components
not specified.
● To prevent injury and/or device failure, do not touch the metal bracket on
the motherboard at the rear of the PC main unit.

Installing Expansion
Bay Options
This section explains how to install expansion bay options such as internal hard disk, magnetooptic disk drive, CD-ROM drive, and floppy disk drive. The power can be supplied from the PC
main unit to the expansion bay options, differing from external-type devices; therefore, an outlet is
not required. This is also useful in saving space.
Point
- To install expansion bay options, set up the PC, turn off the power, and then install the
options.
- The internal hard disk supporting Ultra DMA/33 can be used by setting it to Ultra DMA/33.
To connect a hard disk not supported by Ultra DMA/33, be sure to set the DMA to OFF. If the
PC is used while the DMA is set to ON by mistake, it may malfunction and data may be lost.
Consult with the user's guide that comes with the hard disk, to check whether the additional
hard disk supports Ultra DMA/33.
- On the secondary IDE side, Ultra DMA/33 is not supported.
- Use the CD-ROM drive, equipped as a standard feature, without modifying its connection to
the secondary IDE. To add a hard disk or magneto-optic disk drive to the secondary IDE,
reconnect the hard disk or magneto-optic disk drive to the master connector and reconnect
the CD-ROM to the slave connector.

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup
This chapter describes how to perform BIOS setup when installing an optional
product or setting power savings mode.
BIOS setup is a program that helps the user set up a hardware environment, including
memory, hard disks, and floppy disk drives.
Minimum setup has already been installed on this personal computer when you purchase it.
BIOS must be set up under the following circumstances:
- When a storage unit, such as a floppy disk drive or a built-in hard disk (IDE), is mounted or
removed
- When a password permitting specific users to access the PC is set
- When memory or serial ports are set up
- When the power savings mode is released or changed (to put in standby mode when power
is on but PC is not used)
- When a message requesting BIOS setup is displayed
- When another Operating System (OS) is used
Point
Contents selected in BIOS setup are stored in the PC internal memory called CMOS RAM,
which stores recorded contents using batteries. If an error message indicating BIOS setup is
displayed when the PC is turned on or rebooted even if BIOS setup is completed correctly, the
setup contents will not be stored in this CMOS RAM if the batteries are dead.
