Installing memory

Your computer’s system board supports:

3.3-V, 168-pin unbuffered, Synchronous Dynamic Random Access

■

Memory (SDRAM) Dual In-line Memory Modules (DIMMs).

Non-ECC (64-bit) memory

■

Single- or double-sided configurations

■

Maximum system memory of 512 MB

■

The system board contains two DIMM sockets. You can fill the sockets with

16-MB, 32-MB, 64-MB, 128-MB, or 256-MB DIMMs in any combination to

expand the SDRAM up to 512 MB.

If your processor has a 66-MHz front side bus (FSB), you can use 66-MHz or

100-MHz SDRAM. If your processor has a 100-MHz FSB, you should use only

100-MHz SDRAM.

No jumper settings are required for the memory size or type because the BIOS

automatically detects this information.

Managing Your System

Protecting against power source problems

Surge suppressors, line conditioners, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)

can help protect your system against power source problems.

Surge suppressors

During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into your system

can increase far above normal for a few milliseconds. Data may be lost or the

system may be damaged. To protect against power surges, use a surge

suppressor. The surge suppressor absorbs voltage surges and prevents the

from reaching your system.

A surge suppressor plugs into an electrical outlet, and you connect your

computer, monitor, and other devices to it instead of directly to the outlet.

If you have a modem, make sure your surge suppressor has jacks for the

telephone and modem cables. Power surges can pass through telephone wires

as well as electrical wires.

Protecting against power source problems

Page 65

When purchasing a surge suppressor:

Make sure the surge suppressor meets the appropriate product safety

■

certification for your location, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or Conformite European (CE).

Check the maximum amount of voltage the suppressor allows to pass

■

through the line. The lower the voltage that the suppressor allows to pass through, the better the protection for your system.

Check the energy absorption, or dissipation, rating. The higher the energy

■

absorption rating, the better the protection for your system.

Check for line-conditioner capabilities. A line conditioner smooths out

■

some of the normal line noise (small voltage fluctuations) of an electrical supply.

Line conditioners

A line conditioner protects your system from the small daily fluctuations i

voltage from an electrical supply. Most systems can handle this variation, or

line noise, without problems. However, some electrical sources include more

line noise than normal. Line noise can also be a problem if your system is

located near or shares a circuit with a device that causes electromagnetic

interference, such as a television or a motor.

Some surge suppressors and uninterruptible power supplies include simple

line-conditioning capabilities.

Uninterruptible power supplies

You may lose data during a total power failure. A standby UPS uses a battery

to keep your system running during a power failure. The UPS enables you to

shut down your system normally but not run the system for an extended time.

If you purchase a standby UPS, make sure the UPS includes surge suppression

and line-conditioning features.

Protecting against viruses

A virus is a program written with malicious intent for the purpose of creating

havoc in a computer system.

Viruses spread through executable files, document macros, or boot sectors.

Diskettes used in a contaminated computer can get a virus and transfer the

virus when used in another computer. A virus can also spread through files

downloaded from bulletin boards or the Internet.

Some viruses may only cause your system to beep or display messages or

images on the screen. Other viruses are highly destructive and corrupt or erase

the contents of your files or diskettes. To be safe, never assume any virus is

harmless. Always protect your system against viruses.

To protect your system against viruses:

Obtain an antivirus program and scan your computer regularly. Make sure

Using Disk Defragmenter in Windows 95 and Window s98

When working with files, Windows may divide the files into pieces and store the pieces at different places on the hard drive. This division of files, called fragmentation, is normal. However, to access a file, the hard drive must search for the pieces of the file and put the file back together, which can slow down your system.

Disk Defragmenter brings all the separate pieces back together. Defragment your computer frequently to improve system performance.

Using hard drive maintenance utilities

Page 71

Log off network connections before starting Disk Defragmenter, or network

communication may stop the defragmentation process and restart it at the

beginning. Also, do not use your keyboard or mouse during the

defragmentation process or the process may stop and restart at the beginning.

Important

A disk defragmentation utility does not ship with Windows NT, but you can purchase one. If you purchase a defragmentation program, make sure it can defragment the NT File System (NTFS).

Backing up files

Regularly backing up your files protects you from losing data and lets you keep fewer files on your hard drive. Back up old files to a large capacity disk drive or tape drive and delete the files from your hard drive. You can use the software that came with your tape backup drive or your large capacity disk drive to back up the files.

You can also back up files by running the Backup utility that came with your operating system. In Windows 95 and Window s98, Backup copies files to diskettes or a tape drive. In Windows NT, Backup copies files to a tape drive.

Power management

The power-management features supported by your system are described in

the following sections.

About soft-off

When you turn off your computer by following the Windows shutdown

procedure or pressing the power button, a small amount of power (less than

5 watts) still runs to the wakeup circuitry on the system board. In this soft-off

state, your computer can still respond to an incoming signal from the modem

or to certain LAN commands.

To remove all power from your computer, turn off the computer and unplug

the power cord. When you plug the power cord back in, the network

connection LEDs may flash and the fan may start before you press the power

button. This is normal.

Using suspend in Windows 95

Suspend is a power-management feature that can reduce power by spinning

down the hard drive and reducing or turning off power to the monitor. When

the system is in suspend, it appears to be off. The computer’s power LED turns

amber and the monitor goes dark, indicating that the system has entered

suspend. However, some wakeup events can bring the system out of suspend.

When you resume from suspend, the system returns to the state it was in

without going through the normal startup routine.

Adding a suspend option to the Start menu

You can add an option to the Start menu that puts your system into suspend:

Using standby in Wind ows98

Windows 98 supports two standards of power management, Advanced Power Management (APM) and Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI).

The standby mode, available through both APM and ACPI, saves power b spinning down the hard drive and reducing or turning off power to the monitor. ACPI enables your system to save additional power in standby through controlling the power usage of individual devices, add-in boards, and hard drives.

Selecting the type of standby

If ACPI is enabled on your system, you can select one of two stand-by types in the BIOS Setup utility. One type reduces the power consumption of the system to 20-30 watts. The other type reduces power consumption to 10-20 watts. The more power reduction, the slower your system exits standby and returns to a normal working state. The two stand-by types also respond differently to wakeup events, such as network, modem, and USB communication.

mouse port.

Turn your mouse upside down and remove the roller ball cover.

Rollers

Cover

Roller ball

Cleaning the mouse

Page 81

Cup your hand under the mouse and turn your mouse right-side up. The

roller ball should drop into your hand. If it does not, gently shake the mouse until the ball drops out of the socket.

Use adhesive tape to pick up any dust or lint on the surface of the ball

and wipe away dirt or lint inside the ball socket. You can also blow into the socket to remove dirt and lint. Use a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to clean the rollers inside the socket.

Let surfaces dry completely.

Return the ball to the socket and replace the cover.

Cleaning the keyboard

You should clean the keyboard occasionally to free it of dust and lint particles trapped under the keys. The easiest way to do this is to blow trapped dirt from under the keys using an aerosol can of air with a narrow, straw-like extension.

If you spill liquid on the keyboard, turn off the computer and disconnect the keyboard. Turn the keyboard upside down to let the liquid drain. Let the keyboard dry for a few days before trying to use the keyboard again. If the keyboard does not work after it is dry, you may need a new keyboard.

Cleaning the monitor screen

Use a soft cloth and window cleaner to clean the monitor screen. Squirt a little cleaner on the cloth (never directly on the screen), and wipe the screen with the cloth.

Cleaning Your System

Page 82

Cleaning the computer and monitor cases

Warning

Always turn off the computer and other peripherals before cleaning any components.

Use a damp lint-free cloth to clean the computer case, monitor case, keyboard, speakers, and other parts of your system. Avoid abrasive or solvent cleaners because they can damage the finish on your components.

Your computer is cooled by air drawn in through the vents on the chassis and blown out through the power supply exhaust fan. Keep vents on the front and back of the chassis free of dust. With the computer turned off and unplugged, brush the dust away from the vents with a slightly damp cloth. Be careful not to drip any water into the vents. Do not attempt to clean dust from the inside the computer.

When you clean the system, turn off the computer, monitor, and peripherals and unplug the power cords. Be careful not to drip liquid into the computer, monitor, and peripherals when cleaning the system.
