Arranging your workspace
Here are some guidelines to help you find better way to use your computer. .
Viewing Distance
Lower Back Support
Seat Height
Sitting in the same position for a long time can cause fatigue. A good chair can make a big difference. The backrest and seat should adjust independently and provide good
support.
The seat should have a curved front to relieve pressure on the thighs. Adjust the seat so that your thighs are
parallel to the floor and your feet are either flat on the floor or on a footrest.
When using the keyboard, keep your forearms parallel to the floor and your wrists in a neutral, comfortable position. Adjust the monitor so the top of the screen is at, or slightly below, eye level. Place the LCD monitor at a comfortable viewing distance, usually 50 to 60 cm.
Also position other equipment you use regularly, such as the telephone or a mouse, within easy reach.

BIOS Setup
48 User’s Manual
BIOS Setup
After you have installed peripherals, configured the motherboard and assembled the system, you can power up the ZPC system. The system uses the Award® BIOS utility. The setup instructions for configuring the system’s BIOS (Basic Input Output System) are contained on this chip. The Award BIOS Utility lets you set system parameters, which are stored in nonvolatile CMOS RAM. This information is retained by battery backup when the system is powered off. The values stored in the CMOS configures the system each time the system is powered on.
Running the BIOS Utility
The BIOS Utility does not depend on an operating system to run. You run the utility by typing the <Del> or Delete key before the operating system boots up. The BIOS Utility Main Menu appears. You navigate the BIOS Utility using keyboard commands that are listed on the lower right portion of each screen. Once you have fully configured the BIOS Utility you will rarely need to configure it again.
Entering Setup
Power up the system and press the <Del> key to enter the BIOS Setup main menu. n entering Setup, “Main Menu” is the first screen displayed. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to highlight the desired menu item and press ENTER to select this item.
Use the arrow keys to select items. A description of each selection follows.
