CHAPTER

Getting Started

This chapter introduces you to your computer system. If this is the first t ime you are using a computer, this chapter provides information on the basics of computing.

Choosing a Location

Before you start, you need to find a place for your computer. Like any other delicate electronic device, your PC should be placed in a suitable location.

Your PC should be placed on a flat, sturdy surf ace where you plan to work.

Dropping it may cause serious damages. There must be enough ventilation for proper heat dissipation. Make sure there is

enough space (at least two to three inches) on all sides except the bottom. The main unit, keyboard, mouse, and all other peripheral devices should be located

in a relatively dry and cool place. These should be kept away from direct su nlight or any other sources of extreme heat. Exposing to high temperature may cause internal overheating, and may blemish the exterior of your computer system.

1-2 Chapter 1: Getting Started

Do not place your PC near water. Accidentally pouring liquid onto your system may

damage it. Keep your PC away from devices that generate radio frequency interference such

as stereo equipment. This should also be k ept at least three feet from sources of strong magnetic fields since these may destroy information stored on your diskette and hard disk.

Unpacking Your System

After finding a suitable location, you can remove your PC from the box. Please check to see if there is anything missing . Main items in your package should include:

Main Unit

Depending on your order, your system may include a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM or CD-RW dr ive.

Windows and Internet Enhanced PS/ 2 Keyboard

PS/2 Mouse

Desktop stereo speakers

System Device Driver, Product Recovery and Application Software CDs

Windows ME Software Package

This includes the Product Recovery CD and a Microsoft Windows ME User's Guide.

This User's Guide

AC Power Cord

There may be some optional devices or items included in the package. These shall depend on the model and the configuration that you have ordered. If there is anything missing, contact your dealer immediately.

Keep the original carton and packing m aterials. If you need to move your PC to another location in the future, t he original packaging mat er ials pr ot ect your PC.

Making the Connections

You are now ready to connect the devices to get the system working. For installation of devices that are not covered in this section, please refer to their respective manuals.

WARNING

Connecting devices with the power on may result in severe damages!

Make sure that your computer is turned OFF before connecting any devices.

Chapter 1: Getting Started 1-3

Keyboard

The keyboard is an input device. You use this to enter your commands or data to the computer. Connect the keyboard to your system by inserting the connector of its cable to the PS/2 Keyboard Jack found at the rear of your system. The connector is designed to fit into the keyboard jack in only one way. Do not forcibly insert the connector. Be sure to align the pins into the holes accordingly before inserting.

Mouse

The mouse is another input device. This is also known as a pointing device. You use this to point to the required it ems, confirm or cancel your commands, or select items from a given list. Connect the m ouse t o your system by inserting the connector of its cable to the PS/2 Mouse Port at the rear of your sy stem. The connector is designed to fit into the PS/2 mouse port in only one way. Do not forcibly insert the connector. Be sure to align the pins into the holes according ly before inserting.

SVGA/VGA Monitor

The monitor is an output device. This is also known as the screen display. You need this to see the results of the computer operations and other information required from the system. You will need a video cable to connect a monitor to your system. This is usually supplied with the monitor.

There are monitors that come with video cable attached to the monitor. In such case, just align the connector from the video cable to the VGA Port of your system. You can recognize VGA port easily as only this type of connector can be fit into it.

Other monitors bundle a separate video cable. After inserting an end of t he video cable to the VGA Port, connect the ot her end to the monitor.

Printer

The printer is another output device. You use t his t o pr ovide hardcopies of the documentation required. T his is also called an LPT device, or, a parallel printer. Parallel refers to the type of communication method used to transmit the signals between your system and the printer. This type of transmission is faster, but is limited by the distance of communicating devices.
