■ Notes on handling

When installing a peripheral device, note the following.

● Whenever possible, use peripheral devices supplied by Fujitsu.
Malfunction or damage caused by the use of a third-party product instead of the Fujitsu device
shall not be covered by the warranty.
Before using a peripheral device in a category for which Fujitsu does not supply genuine
products, contact the third-party manufacturer to ask whether the device is compatible with
the PC.

● Have you finished Windows setup?
Installing a peripheral device on the PC before setup may cause the setup program to fail.
Set up Windows by referring to the Software Guide.

● Install one peripheral device at a time.
Installing more than one peripheral devices at a time may cause driver installation to fail.

● Turn off the PC and connected devices.
For safety, be sure to unplug the PC and connected devices. Even if the PC is turned off, an
electric current flows in the PC unit.

● Do not start work immediately after turning off the power.
Components inside the PC may be still hot. After turning off the power and unplugging the
PC, wait for about 10 minutes before starting work.

● Do not disassemble the power supply unit.
The power supply unit is a box-shaped component on the back inside the PC. Since the unit
contains some high-voltage components, do not disassemble it.

● Be careful with the cables and components inside.
Do not damage or modify them.

● Be careful of static electricity.
PC boards and electronic parts of internal peripheral devices are exposed. They may be
damaged by static electricity generated on your body. Before handling these parts, touch a
large metallic object to discharge static electricity.

● Do not touch PC board surface, soldered parts or connectors.
Hold PC boards by the brackets or edges.

● Power supply for peripheral devices
Typical peripheral devices should be turned on before turning on the PC, however, some
should be turned on after the PC. See the manual for the peripheral device.

● Use ACPI-compatible devices.
Since the PC is controlled as per ACPI (one of the power supply control standards for power
saving), peripheral devices must also conform to the ACPI standard.
The use of a peripheral device not conforming to the ACPI standard may cause malfunction
of the PC or device. Contact the device manufacturer to ask if your device supports ACPI.

● Use an appropriate screwdriver.
You must use a Phillips screwdriver to remove slot covers and brackets from the PC.
Use a screwdriver of an appropriate size not to damage screw heads.

must be issued when disposing of the PC.
Note that a manifest report need not be issued when this product is owned by a user for personal
use.
For how to dispose of the PC, follow your local rules and regulations relating to waste control.

■ USB (Windows 98/2000/Me model)

“USB” stands for “Universal Serial Bus”, which standardizes mouse, keyboard, printer, modem,
and speaker interfaces.

 Point

- Some USB-compliant peripheral devices require a special device driver to be installed.

- USB is supported by Windows 98, 2000 and Me.

- Depending on the type of a connected USB device, Windows may not be closed properly. In

this case, remove the device and close Windows.

■ USB keyboard (Windows 98/Me model)

● After selecting [Control Panel]-[Accessibility Options]-[FilterKeys]-[Settings] and enabling [Use

Shortcut], the shortcut key function is disabled and [Use FilterKeys] is not set even after the [Right
Shift] key has been pressed for 8 or more seconds.
In this case, use the mouse to set the [Use FilterKeys] checkbox.

● In the MS-DOS mode, entering too many characters from the USB keyboard may halt the system.

● Do not connect or disconnect the USB keyboard connector during the PC is being operated.

Otherwise, the system may stop its response. In this case, press the power switch for more than
4 seconds, turn the power off, and turn the power on again after waiting for more than 10 seconds.

● To start the system in the Safe mode, change the following setting on BIOS Setup:

• [Advanced]-[Advanced System Configuration]-[USB Legacy Support]: Enabled
After exiting from the Safe mode, reset as follows to resume the system:

• [Advanced]-[Advanced System Configuration]-[USB Legacy Support]: Disabled

64

■ Addition of USB components (Windows 98/2000/Me model)

When several USB components are added and used at the same time, their operations may become
unstable. In this case, connect the required components only to the USB port.

■ Precautions on using display

● Depending on the setting of the display used (ex. resolution), the thicknesses of the vertical and

horizontal lines may seem to be different on CAD or other application. If such difference is
detected, adjust the setting.

● Although the screen may be distorted temporarily or display horizontal lines at the beginning of
a screen display (such as the Windows startup and shutdown screen) or when the display mode
is changed (for example, from the power-saving mode to the normal mode), this does not indicate
a fault.

■ Precautions on using analog display

Windows 2000 model

Although monitors of some analog displays may not be detected automatically, this does not cause
any operational problem and thus such displays can be used as they are.

■ Precautions on using analog LCD

On some analog LCDs, the screen may appear to be doubled or tripled. In this case, set the refresh
rate to 60Hz.

■ Adjustment of analog display screen position

For an analog display, the BIOS Setup or MS-DOS screen may be displayed in a wrong position on
the 640 x 480 (60Hz) Windows screen after the position is adjusted using the display. In this case,
adjust the position on each screen.

■ Display of video memory capacity

Although the video memory capacity is not displayed correctly in [Display Properties], it should not
be considered faulty.

■ Selection of screen resolution

Windows 98/Me/NT model

In [Display Properties], do not select a 1,280 x 1,024 (16,777,216 colors) or 1,152 x 864 resolution.

Windows 2000 model

In [Display Properties], do not select a 1,280 x 1,024 (True Color 24 bit), 1,152 x 864, 720 x 480, or
720 x 576 resolution.

65

■ Connection of display

If the screen is not centered on the connected display, check if the screen frequency is set in
accordance with the display. In the case that the screen is not centered even though the frequency
is proper, adjust it using the display.

■ Replacement of display

If the display is replaced with a different type (especially with an LCD), a display error such as a
blank screen may occur. In this case, replace the display as follows:

For Windows 98 model
1 Set the resolution to 640 x 480 (the setting before replacement).
2 Set the refresh rate to [Adapter default].
3 Close Windows, turn the PC unit off, and replace the display.

If nothing appears or some resolutions are unavailable after the display is replaced without the
above setting, reinstall the display driver as follows:

1 Start Windows in the Safe mode.
2 Set the graphic adapter to “Standard PCI graphic adapter (VGA)” and restart Windows.
3 Reinstall the display driver.

For Windows NT model
1 Turn the PC off and replace the display.
2 Start the PC with Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00 [VGA mode].
3 Set the resolution, number of colors, and refresh rate in accordance with the display

specifications, and restart the PC.

For Windows 2000 model
1 Set the resolution to 640 x 480 (the setting before replacement).
2 Set the refresh rate to 60Hz.
3 Close Windows, turn the PC unit off, and replace the display.

If nothing appears or some resolutions are unavailable after the display is replaced without the
above setting, reset the display driver as follows:

1 Start Windows in the VGA mode.
2 Set the resolution to 640 X 480.
3 Set the refresh rate to 60Hz.
4 Start Windows.

66

■ Power-saving function

When playing animation or using DirectX software, do not set any power-saving function (such as
the power-saving function and the system standby function of the display).

■ Mouse with scroll (wheel) function (PS/2) (Windows 98 model)

A mouse with the scroll function (PS/2) must be connected to the PC unit.
If the USB keyboard and a mouse with the scroll function (PS/2) are used at the same time, the
mouse may be disabled in the Safe mode of Windows 98.
In this case, disconnect the USB keyboard from the PC unit, perform some operation of the mouse
(ex. clicking), and reconnect the keyboard (the scroll function is not available in the Safe mode of
Windows 98).

■ Installation of core

When connecting a microphone, speaker, COM device, or LAN, install the attached core onto the
cable as follows to reduce unnecessary electric wave emission:
Among the cores attached to the PC, the larger ones are designed for COM device and LAN cables
and the smaller ones for sound cables.
