Troubleshooting and tips
Flickering or drifting stripes on the monitor screen
Switch off the PC immediately!
!
The flickering stripes are caused either by an old-type screen that does not support the horizontal
frequency of 47 kHz, or by an incorrect monitor selection under MS-Windows.
The drifting screen display is caused when the selected frequency and/or resolution is wrong.
The default screen values are 800x600 pixels at 75 Hz and for 64K colors.
²
Find out which horizontal frequency your monitor screen supports.
You will find the horizontal frequency (also known as line frequency or horizontal deflection
frequency) in the documentation of your monitor.
No mouse pointer displayed on the screen
²
Shut down the operating system properly.
²
Switch the PC off.
²
Check that the mouse cable is properly connected to the system unit.
If you use an adapter or extension lead with the mouse cable, check the connector.
²
Make sure that only one mouse is connected.
²
Switch the PC on.
²
The mouse controller must be enabled, if you use a PS/2 mouse. Check in the
the mouse controller is enabled.
²
Check that the mouse driver is properly installed and is present when the application program
is started. Detailed information can be found in the User Guide of the mouse or application
program.

Troubleshooting and tips
Time and/or date is not correct
Set the time and/or date. You can set the time and date in the BIOS Setup or in the operating
²
system.
If the time and date are repeatedly wrong when you switch on your PC, the battery is flat.
Change the lithium battery as described in the Chapter "Memory, processor, lithium
i
battery".
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
Your PC is supplied with different software components. These software components are usually
already preinstalled on the hard disk and is either ready for use immediately after initial startup or
initialized for setup or installation.
If your hard disk is however damaged, or programs or parts thereof have been accidentally deleted,
then recovery of the relevant programs or the entire contents of the hard disk is necessary.
The PC can be put into operation again with the backup diskettes, the Windows CD provided, the
drivers provided on floppy disks or CD and the CD with the applications program.
All data on the hard disk will be deleted. Operating system, drivers and software utilities
will be reinstalled. For this reason you should try to save important data before you restore
i
the hard disk contents.
Restoring hard disk contents with a Windows CD
Proceed as described in the related documentation.
²
Restoring the hard disk contents using the backup diskettes
Insert the first backup disk and follow the instructions on the screen.
²
Install the drivers and utilities in the C:\PROGS\DISKS directory.
²
Restoring the hard disk contents under Windows NT
If you need to restore the hard disk contents you have to reinstall Windows NT.
Proceed as described in the related documentation.

Troubleshooting and tips
Tips
The PC cannot be switched off with the ON/OFF switch
Cause: The PC has not been switched on with the ON/OFF switch.
²
Press the ON/OFF switch again.
Cause: System crash
²
Press the ON/OFF switch for at least four seconds, until the device switches off.
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.

System expansions
It may be necessary to update the BIOS when carrying out a system expansion or
hardware upgrade. In this instance, please contact our service.
!
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.
Opening the system unit
Please take note of the safety information in the chapter "Important notes".
!
Pull the power plug out of the power outlet!
²
If any cables attached to the system unit
are obstructing you, pull out the connectors
on the system unit.
²
Place the system unit in a convenient
working position.

Installing and removing drives
The system unit houses a total of three accessible drives (two 5 1/4-inch drives and one 3 1/2-inch
drive) and one non-accessible half-height (Slimline) drive.
IDE drives
By default four IDE drives are supported. Ideally hard disks are connected to IDE port 1, and
accessible drives, for example CD-ROMs, to IDE port 2 (see also the Technical Manual for the
system board).
SCSI drives
If you want to install an SCSI drive, you require an SCSI controller and an SCSI cable. Note that:
not every SCSI controller is suitable for operating SCSI hard disks
•
each SCSI device must be assigned its own SCSI-ID
•
a device with activated or connected terminating resistors must always be connected at the
•
end of an SCSI cable. The terminating resistors of all other SCSI devices attached must not be
activated or connected.
