About This Guide

This Online Reference Guide is broken down into three main sections:

• About Your Hardware - information about the main hardware components that make up your computer: the system

board, your sound card, your keyboard, and so on.

• About Your BIOS (Basic Input/Output system) - information about the set of programs that control the input and output

of data to peripherals.

• Upgrading and Adding Accessories - information about how to install new hardware components such as main memory

or expansion cards.

Purpose of This Guide

The purpose of this guide is to provide you with technical information about your computer. This is information that you won’t need to reference every day, but which you will find useful if you ever want to upgrade or customize your computer.

Note

PCI expansion card slots are generally white plastic grooves. ISA expansion card slots are generally black plastic grooves lined with silver.

System Board Configuration Jumpers

The CMOS memory stores information, such as your computer’s configuration, which is preserved when you turn off your computer. A jumper placed on pins 1-2 prevents changes to the CMOS configuration. This is the default setting. Refer to

“Clearing the CMOS Configuration” on page 31

This jumper allows the system board to be set so that it matches the speed of the installed processor. You only need to change the microprocessor configuration jumper, if you install a new processor that has a different processor speed to the one that is currently installed. Refer to “Upgrading a Processor” on page 44 processor upgrade, and changing the jumper settings.

Jumpers are required between pins 3 and 4 and between pins 5 and 6 of the Multimedia Control Panel Connector. Without these jumpers, the sound card will not output sound through the rear panel. (These jumper connections are set by default).

1 About Your Hardware

Your Sound Card

Connecting Audio Devices to the Rear Panel

You can connect external speakers, a microphone, or other audio devices to the rear panel. Do not connect headphones to the jack on the CD-ROM drive, as this will only let you hear output from music CDs. Through the rear panel jack on your computer you will hear sounds from training presentations, MIDI music files, any other audio software, and music CDs too.

Warning

Details of what each jack on the sound card is for are given below.

LINE IN Connect devices such as a cassette, DAT, or Minidisc player for playback and recording.

MIC Connect a microphone for voice input.

LINE OUT Bypass the sound card’s internal amplifier to connect powered speakers, an external amplifier for audio

SPK Connect speakers for audio output from the card’s built-in power amplifier. Adjust the volume from within

Before connecting any headphones or speakers, always turn the volume down to avoid discomfort from unexpected noise or static. Listening to loud sounds for prolonged periods of time may permanently damage your hearing. Before putting on any headphones, place them around your neck and turn the volume down. Then, put on the headphones and slowly increase the volume by using the Audio Mixer Applet or the enhanced keyboard until you find a comfortable listening level, where the sound is clear, without being too loud. When you can hear comfortably and clearly, without distortion, leave the volume control in that position.

Connecting Audio Devices to the Internal Connectors

There are also several internal connectors located on the sound card itself. These are shown on page 13 , and those that are used are described below.

AUX In Connector This Auxiliary Connector allows you to connect an additional internal audio source such as a TV tuner, or another similar

card. It can also be used to accept decompressed audio data from an MPEG video card. The AUX In connector has the following pin assignments:

Pin Signal I/O

1 Analog Ground -

2 AUX right channel IN 3 Analog Ground 4 AUX left channel IN

CD Audio Connector The CD Audio Connector, labeled “CDAUDIO”, allows you to connect the sound card to the CD-ROM drive via the audio

cable, so that you can listen to audio from the CD-ROM drive. The CD Audio Connector has the following pin assignments:

When the computer is turned off with the power button on the front panel, the power consumption falls below 3 watts, but it is not zero. The special on/off method used by this computer considerably extends the lifetime of the power supply. To reach zero power consumption in “off” mode, either unplug the computer from the power outlet or use a power block with a switch.

About Your BIOS

The BIOS in Your Computer

What Is the BIOS? The BIOS has two main roles:

• It tests and configures the computer’s hardware components during the POST, and lets you perform further

configuration by using the Setup program.

• It provides the link between the software running on your computer, which has been written to be independent of any

particular computer, and your computer’s hardware (the hard disk, the keyboard, the display, and so on).

The BIOS is part of the System ROM and is stored in a chip on the system board. A computer’s BIOS is specific to that computer.

2 About Your BIOS

The BIOS in Your Computer

What Can I Do with the BIOS?

You can configure certain aspects of your computer by using the Setup program which is part of the BIOS. Refer to “The

HP Setup Program” on page 23 for more information about the Setup program.

2 About Your BIOS

The HP Setup Program

The built-in Setup program is accessed by pressing the key during the POST. Online help for an item on the Setup screen can be obtained by highlighting the item (refer to page 24

is then displayed on the right of the screen. It is updated as you move the cursor to each field.

If you have any doubts about using the Setup program, contact your reseller for help.

The band along the top of the screen offers the following menus:

• Main: for basic system configuration.

• Advanced: for setting the Advanced Features.

• Security: for setting a password to restrict access to your computer. For information on how to set a password, refer

to “Restricting Access to Your Computer - Setting a Password” on page 26

for instructions on how to use the key functions). Help

• Power: for selecting power-management modes to reduce the amount of energy used after specified periods of

inactivity. Refer to “Power Management in the BIOS” on page 27

• Boot: for choosing your boot device order and priority. Refer to “Boot Device Priority” on page 25.

• Exit: for leaving the Setup program. Refer to “Saving Your Changes and Leaving Setup” on page 25.

The Setup program changes system behavior by modifying the power-on initialization parameters. Setting incorrect values may cause system boot failure. Should this occur, press the key while you are in the Setup program to load the Setup program’s default values. This should enable the computer to boot properly.

HP strongly recommends that you make a note of any changes you make while in the Setup program.

2 About Your BIOS

The HP Setup Program

Working Within the Setup Program

The following key functions are available when using the HP Setup program.

• The or arrows can be used to select fields in the current menu.

• The key moves the cursor to the top item, and the key moves the cursor to the bottom item of the

current menu.

• The key displays a sub-menu for menu items marked with a solid right arrow .

• The key or + keys allow you to exit from a sub-menu.

• The and arrows select menus from the menu bar.

• The key loads factory-installed default values.

• The key saves and exits from the Setup program.

• The key or + keys display the general help screen.

• The key exits from the general help screen.

Pressing the or arrows while you are on a main menu screen will take you to the next menu option. If, however, you are on a sub-menu screen and you press these arrows, you will stay on that screen.

Use the and arrows to scroll through the items on the general help screen.

2 About Your BIOS

The HP Setup Program

Boot Device Priority

You can select the order of the devices from which the BIOS attempts to boot the operating system. During the POST, if the BIOS is unsuccessful at booting from one device, it will try the next one on the Boot Device Priority list until an operating system is found. The default boot device is the floppy disk. To speed up booting, you may wish to set the hard disk as the default boot device. If you ever need to boot from a floppy though, remember to reset the floppy as the default boot device.

The Boot Device Priority can be changed through the Boot menu. Use the or arrows to move along the top of the main menu bar to its location. The item is then highlighted and displays the available boot options.

Main PowerAdvanced Security ExitBoot
