2-3 Installing an Optional CD-ROM Drive

Recommended Configurations

Built-in IDE controllers are designated as primary and secondary. Each
primary and secondary controller can support two IDE devices. If your system
supports 2 IDE controllers, a total of 4 IDE devices can be installed in your
unit.

■ The recommended configuration is to install the CD-ROM drive on the

secondary IDE controller.

■ If no hard drive is connected to the secondary IDE controller, attach the

CD-ROM drive to the device 0 connector on the secondary IDE
controller signal cable.

■ If a hard drive is already connected to the secondary controller, the

CD-ROM drive must be attached to the device 1 connector on the
IDE controller signal cable.

■ A preinstalled hard drive that is connected to the built-in (primary) IDE

controller is typically set as device 0. If you want to connect an optional
Compaq IDE CD-ROM Drive to the built-in (primary) controller, the
CD-ROM drive jumpers must be set to the secondary/slave
configuration.

■ If you have only one IDE controller and already have 2 IDE devices

connected, you must install a secondary IDE controller for this option.

Recommended configurations are shown in the following table. See Appendix
D, “Getting Help,” for information on how to contact Compaq or an
authorized representative to order a second controller, if necessary.

A-1 Regulatory Compliance Notices

Appendix A

Regulatory Compliance Notices

Federal Communications
Commission Notice

Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and
Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide
an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices,
including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function
and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and
related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their
intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be
expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B
devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a
residential environment (i.e., personal computers). The FCC requires devices
in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device
as well as additional operating instructions for the user.

The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls
into. Class B devices have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class A
devices do not have an FCC logo or ID on the label. Once the class of the
device is determined, refer to the following corresponding statement.

Class A Equipment

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at personal expense.

Class B Equipment

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:

■ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

■ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

■ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

■ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for

help.

B-1 Electrostatic Discharge

Appendix B

Electrostatic Discharge

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to
follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static
electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or
other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life
expectancy of the device.

To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:

■ Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe

containers.

■ Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at

static-free workstations.

■ Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their

containers.

■ Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

■ Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive

component or assembly.

Grounding Methods

There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following
methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:

■ Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation

or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of
1 megohm  10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide
proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.

■ Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations.

Wear the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or
dissipating floor mats.

■ Use conductive field service tools.

■ Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating

work mat.
