Unpacking
1
n A
s
you unpack the different parts of your computer system, be
sure to inspect each piece. If anything is missing or looks
damaged, contact the place where it was purchased for missing
items or replacements. If you cannot obtain the necessary part
of parts, call your TriGem Computer dealer for assistance.
Please have the computer’s serial number ready when you call.
Figure l-l. Unpacking Your System
Setting Up Your System l-1
Besides this manual, you should have the following:
The computer and power cord
The Keyboard with attached cable
MS-DOS diskettes
GW-BASIC diskette
MS-DOS User’s Guide
GW-BASIC User’s Guide
In addition to these items, you need a compatible monitor to
use with the computer.
Be sure to keep your packing materials. They provide the best
protection for your computer if you need to transport it later.
Choosing a location
2
Before you set up your computer, it is important to choose the
right location. Select a spot that provides the following:
A large, sturdy desk or table that can easily support the
weight of your system, including all of its components.
Make sure the surface is hard and flat. Soft surfaces like
beds and carpeted floors can generate static electricity,
which may erase data on your disks and damage the
computer’s circuitry. Soft surfaces also prevent proper
ventilation.
Good air circulation. Air must be able to move freely
under the system as well as behind it. Leave several inches
of space around the computer to allow ventilation.
Setting Up Your System
1-2
Moderate environmental conditions. Protect your computer
from extremes in temperature, direct sunlight, or any other
source of heat. High humidity also hinders operation, so
select a cool, dry area. Avoid dust and smoke, which can
damage disks and disk drives and cause you to lose valuable
data.
Appropriate power sources. To prevent static charges,
connect all your equipment to three-prong, grounded
outlets. You need one outlet for the computer, one for the
monitor, and additional outlets for a printer and any other
peripherals.
If it has the appropriate power cord, you can plug the
monitor into the auxiliary power outlet on the back panel
of the computer, reducing the number of wall outlets you
need. (The current required by the peripheral must not
exceed 1 amp.) If you need more outlets, you may want to
buy a power strip-available at any electronics store-to
provide extra outlets. A power strip with surge suppression
is recommended.
No electromagnetic interference. Locate your system away
from any electrical device, such as a telephone, that
generates an electromagnetic field.
Setting Up Your System
1-3
Connecting a Monitor
3
The video display monitor is the device used by the computer
to communicate with you. Your software will use the screen to
display information, such as prompts, text, graphics (charts and
pictures), etc.
Several types of monitor are available as options. A typical
video display system provides a high resolution monochrome
(green or amber screen) screen display. Your computer can be
used with either monochrome, color video monitors, EGA or
VGA monitors.
In addition to the display monitor itself, the video system
includes a video controller board. This board generates the
letters, numbers, and graphics symbols displayed on the
monitor screen.
Connectors are provided for the display type that is supported
by the board (monochrome, RGB color, high resolution EGA,
VGA etc.). Certain boards support more than one type of
display, and may provide a switch to select either color or
monochrome modes.
The procedure you use to connect your monitor to the
computer depends on the type of monitor you have. See your
monitor manual for detailed instructions, or follow these
general guidelines:
1.
Place your monitor on top of or near the computer. It is
easiest to connect the monitor cable if you are facing the
back panels of both the monitor and the computer.
1-4
Setting Up Your System
2.
If necessary, connect the monitor cable to the monitor.
(Some monitors come with permanently attatched cables.)
3.
Connect the monitor cable to the video connector on the
back of the computer, as shown below. If the plug has
retaining screws, tighten them securely.
Figure 1-2. Connecting the Monitor
4.
Plug the other end of monitor’s power cord into an
electrical outlet.
Setting
Up Your
System
1-5
Connecting a Printer, Mouse, or Modem
4
The computer has a parallel interface and two serial interfaces
on the back panel, so you can easily connect a printer or other
type of device with either type of interface.
For example, you can use the parallel port to connect a parallel
printer (most printers have a parallel interface). You can use
the serial port to connect a serial printer, a serial mouse, or an
external modem.
Follow the steps in this section to connect a printer or other
peripheral device to either the parallel or serial interface.
Using the Parallel Interface
The parallel interface on your computer is Centronics
compatible and uses a 25-pin connector. To connect a parallel
printer to your computer, you need an IBM-compatible printer
cable. If you are not sure which one you need, or whether you
have the right one, check with the store where you purchased
the printer.
Once you have the correct printer cable, follow these steps to
connect the printer to the parallel interface on the computer.
1.
Place the printer next to your computer.
2. One end of the printer cable has a 25-pin, male connector.
Connect this end to the parallel port on the back panel of
the computer, as shown below. If the plug has retaining
screws, tighten them securely.
1-6 Setting Up Your System
Figure l-3. Connecting the Printer
Connect the other end of the cable to the printer, as
3.
shown below. If the printer has retaining clips on each side
of the printer port, squeeze the clips together to secure the
cable.
Plug the printer’s power cord into an electrical outlet.
4.
Setting Up Your System
1-7
Using the Serial Interface
If you have a serial printer, modem, mouse, or any other
peripheral with a serial interface, you can connect it to one
two serial (RS-232C) ports on the back of the computer. Your
computer uses IBM-compatible, 9-pin, male connector, so be
sure you have the proper cable. If you are not sure which one
you need, or whether you have the right one, check with the
store where you bought the cable.
To connect a serial device, follow the same steps outlined
above for a parallel device, but connect the cable to the serial
port, shown below.

Setting Up Your System
Set up the data transmission parameters for the serial port.
Tell the computer to redirect printer data from the parallel
port to the serial port.
Connecting the Power Cord
5
Follow these steps to connect the power cord:
1.
Insert the power cord into the AC inlet on the computer’s
back panel, as shown below. To avoid an electric shock, be
sure to plug the cord into the computer before plugging it
into the wall socket.
Figure l-5. AC Power Connections
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-prong,
grounded electrical outlet.
Setting Up Your System
1-9
Note
The socket outlet should be installed near the equipment
and should be easily accessible.
Die Verbindung zwischen Steckdose sollte mölichst Kurz
sein. Die steckdose sollte frei zugäglick sein.
For units to be installed in European countries, a power
supply cord of type HAR, with H05VV-F should be used.
Für Geräte, die in europäischen Ländern eingesetzt werden,
sollte ein Netzkabel Typ HAR mit der Nummer H05VV-F
benutzt werden.
Connecting the Keyboard
6
Your keyboard has only one cable to connect.
This simply plugs into the keyboard connector located at the
bottom of the main system unit’s rear panel. This connector is
designed to prevent insertion if the pins don’t line up, so it
may be necessary to rotate the cable connector until it plugs in
easily.

Setting Up Your System
Adjusting the Keyboard Angle
You can change the angle of the keyboard by adjusting the legs
on the bottom. Turn the keyboard over and lift each leg
upward until it locks into place, as shown below. You lock the
legs into a low or high position, or leave them flat.

Turning On the Computer
7
Before you turn on your computer, read the following safety
rules to avoid accidentally damaging the computer or injuring
yourself:
Do not unplug cables from the computer when the power
switch is on.
Never turn off or reset your computer while a disk drive
light is on. This can destroy data stored on disk or make an
