Important Notes

Be sure to read this page carefullyand note the information before you

open the PC. Please note the information provided in the chapter "Safety" in the Operating Manual of the PC. Incorrect replacement of the lithium battery may lead to a risk of explosion. It is therefore essential to observe the instructions in the section "Replacing the lithium battery“. The lithium battery must be replaced with an identical battery or a battery type recommended by the manufacturer (CR2032). Do not throw lithium batteries into the trashcan. Your vendor or dealer or their authorized representatives will take used batteries back free of charge so that they can be recycled or disposed of in the proper manner.

Connecting cable for peripherals must be adequately insulated to avoid interference. ADVARSEL

Lithiumbatteri - Eksplosionsfare ved fejlagtig håndtering. Udskiftningmå

kun ske med batteri af samme fabrikat og type. Lever det brugte batteri tilbage til leverandøren.

ADVARSEL

Eksplosjonsfare ved feilaktig skifte av batteri. Benytt samme batteritype

eller en tilsvarende type anbefalt av apparatfabrikanten. Brukte batterier kasseres i henhold til fabrikantens instruksjoner.

VARNING

Eksplosionsfara vid felaktigt batteribyte. Använd samma batterityp eller

en ekvivalent typ som rekommenderas av apparattillverkarenfabrikanten. Kassera använt batteri enligt fabrikantens instruktion.

VAROITUS

Paristo voi räjähtää, jos se on virheellisesti asennettu. Vaihda paristo

ainoastaan laitevalmistajan suosittelemaan tyyppiin. Hävitä käytetty paristo valmistajan ohjeiden mukaisesti.

Modules with ESDs

Modules with electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) maybe identified by labels.

A26361-D931-Z121-5-7619 5

Important Notes Program with time loops

When you handle modules fitted with ESDs, you must observe the following points under all circumstances:

• When you handle modules fitted with ESDs, you must always discharge

yourself (e.g. by touching a grounded object) before working.

• Theequipmentandtoolsyouusemustbefreeofstaticcharges.

• Pull out the power plug before inserting or pulling out modules containing

ESDs.

• Always hold modules with ESDs by their edges.

• Never touch pins or conductors on modules fitted with ESDs.

CE certificate

This board complies with the requirements of the EEC directive 89/336/EEC with regard to "Electromagnetic compatibility". Conformity was tested in the typical configuration of a Personal Computer. When installing the board, observe the specific installation notes in the Operating Manual or Technical Manual for the appropriate device.

Program with time loops

Problems can occur with programs in which time loops have been implemented through software loops. This applies in particular to older programs which were written for 8 MHz processors.

Settings in BIOS Setup

The BIOS Setup menu allows you to set your hardware configuration and system functions. In addition, the configuration. When it is supplied, the PC is set to factory default settings which you can alter in the

BIOS Setup menus. Any changes you make take effect as soon as y ou save the

Security - security features Power - energy saving functions Exit -saveandquit

The various menus are described below with all settingoptions. Since the

setting options depend on your PC's hardware config uration, some of them may not be offered in the BIOS setup.

System Time / SystemDate

The System Time field and the System Date field showthe time and date respectively according to the PC. The time is shown in the format hh:mm:ss (hours:minutes:seconds) and the date is shown in the format mm/dd/yyyy (month/day/year).

If the settings in the System Time and System Date fields are frequently

wrong when you power up the computer, the lithiumbattery is dead. Change the battery as described in "Replacing the lithium battery“.

You should change the default settings only if you are connecting an

additional IDE drive to one of the two IDE connectors. The maximum transfer rate of two IDE drives connected to the same connector is determined by the slower of the two. Fast hard disks should therefore be connected to the first IDE connector and identified as

Hard Disk 1 or Hard Disk 2; slower hard disks or other IDE drives

(e.g. CD ROM drives) should be connected to the second IDE connector and identified as

Hard Disk 3 or Hard Disk 4.

The set number of blocks (sectors) is transferred for each interrupt.

LBA Translation

This field enables and disables the LBA (Logical Block Addressing) mode. LBA mode allows you to install and use hard disks with a capacity of more than 528 Mbytes. If a hard disk supports LBA mode, you can use the full capacity of the IDE hard disk. The default entry depends on the installed IDE hard disk drive. Change the default entries only if you are installing another hard disk drive.

You may only use IDE drives in the LBA mode selected when they were

set up. In other words, if you set up a hard disk with LBA mode you may only operate the hard disk with LBA mode
