Error messages on the screen
Error messages and their descriptions are listed in the Technical Manual of the system board or in
the "BIOS Setup" manual and in the documentation of the installed software.
Restoring the hard disk contents
Instructions for this purpose can be found in the documentation (booklet) of the CD "Drivers &
Utilities".
Tips
The PC cannot be switched off with the ON/OFF switch
Cause: System crash
Ê Press the ON/OFF switch for at least four seconds, until the device switches off.
PC switches on briefly and then off again
The power cable has been plugged. For technical reasons, this brief switching on and off is
necessary.
Out of system resources
If you have too many applications running at once, you may experience problems due to a lack of
system resources. If this happens, you should close applications you do not require or call the
applications in a different order.
BIOS settings in power management do not become active
The Auto insert notification setting may be active for the CD-ROM drive. This setting causes
Windows 9x to inquire about any modifications on the drive at regular intervals. Because of this the
timer for the idle time cannot time out.
To activate power management, proceed as follows:
Ê In Windows 9x, select Start - Settings - Control Panel - System - Device Manager - CD-ROM .
Ê Select the installed CD-ROM drive from the list.
Ê Select Settings.
Ê Deactivate the Auto insert notification box.
CD-ROM drive
Information on the CD-ROM drive can be found in the manual of the CD-ROM drive or on the
"Drivers & Utilities" CD.

This chapter describes all the activities required to modify your PC hardware (e. g. installing boards
or drives).
Memory and processor upgrading are described in the Technical Manual for the system board.
Read the supplied documentation before installing new drives and/or boards.
Refer to the Technical Manual for the system board before making any extensions on the system
board.
Information on boards
To prevent damage to the system board or the components and conductors on it, please take great
care when you insert or remove boards. Take care above all to ensure that extension boards are
slotted in straight without damaging components or conductors on the system board, or any other
components, for example EMI spring contacts.
hardware upgrade. In this instance, please contact our customer service center.
When installing components with a high power loss, make sure that the maximum
permissible temperatures of the individual components are not exceeded.
The device must be switched off when installing/removing the system expansions and
may not be in the Suspend mode.
Be especially careful with the locking mechanisms (catches, centering pins etc.) when you replace
the system board or components on it, for example memory modules or processors.
Never use sharp objects (screwdrivers) for leverage.
Boards with electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are identifiable by the
label shown.
When you handle boards fitted with ESDs, you must observe the following
points under all circumstances:
• You must always discharge yourself (e. g. by touching a grounded
object) before working.
• The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.
• Pull out the power plug before inserting or pulling out boards containing
ESDs.
• Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.
• Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs.
