Setting Up Your System

Setting Up Your System

This chapter describes how to set up your system. Just follow the ten steps in this
chapter.

1

Selecting a Site

Before you set up your computer, it is important to choose a safe, convenient site that
provides the following:

A large, sturdy desk or table strong enough to support the w eight of your system

and all of its components.

A flat, hard surface. Soft surfaces like beds and carpeted floors attract static

electricity, which can erase data on your disks, damage the computer's circuitry,
and prevent proper ventilation.

Good air circulation. Leave several inches of space around the computer so air can

move freely.

Moderate environmental conditions. Select a cool, dry area and protect your

computer from extremes in temperature, humidity, dust, and smoke. Avoid direct
sunlight or any other source of heat.

Appropriate power sources. To pr event static charges, connect all your equipment

to three-hole, grounded outlets. You need one outlet for the computer, one for the
monitor, and additional outlet for a printer and any other peripherals.

No electromagnetic interference. Do not place your system too close to any

electrical device, such as a telephone, which gener ates an electromagnetic field.

Installing Windows 95 or Other Operating Systems

After you connect the components of your system and run the SETUP program, you
must install the operating system on your computer. If you are installing Windows 95,
follow the instructions in your Windows 95 manual. If you want to install another
operating system such as OS/2 Warp or UNIX, see the manual that came with that
system for instructions on installation and use. The procedures in this manual assume
that you are using Windows 95 with your computer.

Using a Diskette Drive

Write-protecting Diskettes

You can write-protect a diskette to prevent its data from being altered. When a diskette
is write-protected, you can read it and copy data from it, but you cannot stor e new data
on it, delete any files it contains or format the disk.

3-13-1

3-1

3-13-1

Using Your Computer

The write-protect device on a 3.5-inch diskette is a small switch on the back of the
diskette in the lower right corner. To write-protect a 3.5-inch diskette, slide the
switch toward the edge of the diskette until it clicks into position, exposing a hole in
the corner.

To enable you to write data on diskettes, slide the s witch toward the center of the
diskette until it clicks into position and the hole is covered.

Note

Note

Some program diskettes have no switch so they are permanently write­protected. This protects them from being accidentally erased or altered.

Caution

Caution

Never remove a diskette or reset or turn off the computer while a diskette
drive light is on. You could lose data. Also, remove all diskettes before you
turn off the computer.

Formatting Diskettes

Before you can store data on a new diskette, you must format it using the Format
option in the "My Computer" program group in Windows 95. Formatting prepares the
diskette so that the operating system can write data on it. You need to do this only
once, before you use the diskette for the first time.

You can also reformat previously used diskettes to store new data. This process erases
all the data on the diskette, so be sure you do not want to save any of the files on a
used diskette before you reformat it. See your operating system manual for
instructions on formatting diskettes.

Using the CD-ROM Drive

To insert a CD-ROM (Compact Disc-Read Only Memory) disc into the CD-ROM
drive, first turn on your system. Then open the drive bay access door and press the
open/close/stop button to open the CD tray. When the CD tray pops out the busy
indicator light will flash. Put the CD-ROM disc in the tray with the label side up.
Press the open/close/stop button again or gently push the tray in to close it.

CD-ROM disc

As soon as an audio CD is inserted into the CD-ROM drive, the CD Player will be
automatically run and start playing the audio CD.

When you want to remove the CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive, make sure the
busy indicator is off. Press the open/close/stop button. When the CD tray pops out,
remove the CD-ROM and then press the button again to close the tray.

Note

Note

When your system is turned off, you may need to open the CD tray. To
do so, insert a fine rod such as an opened paper clip into the emergency
eject hole as far as it will go. When the tray is slightly open, carefully
pull it out.

A CD-ROM can not write data on unlike diskettes or hard disks, but has much large
storage capacity. The total capacity of CD-ROMs depends on data type or storag e
method, but has the size of more than 600 MB.

A CD-ROM drive can play music CDs as well as read software program CDs, single
and multi-session photo CDs, and video CDs.

3-43-4

Using Your Computer

You can play ordinary music CDs if you plug speakers or headphones into the line­out jack on the back of the system or if you plug headphones into the headphone jack
of the CD-ROM drive.

Note

Note

The system calls the CD-ROM drive D: because the hard disk drive in
the system has one hard disk drive partition.

Using the Hard Disk Drive

Using a hard disk drive is similar to using a diskette. However, the hard disk has
more advantages than the diskette, as the following describes:

The computer can perform all disk-related operations faster.
You can store frequently used programs and data files on the hard disk,

eliminating the inconvenience of swapping diskettes to access different files.

The added storage capacity makes it easy to move back and forth between different
programs and data files. However, because it is so easy to add programs and files to
your hard disk, you may find yourself trying to organize hundreds of files.

Most operating systems let you keep related files together in folders and subfolders
(or directories and subdirectories) so they are easy to find and use. See your
operating system manual for instructions on managing your files and folders.

The hard disk is very reliable, but it is necessary to back up your hard disk files using
an effective data storage back-up system in case some data is accidentally lost. You
should make copies of all your operating system and application program diskettes
before you install the programs to the hard disk. Also after creating data files on the
hard disk, be sure to copy them whenever you revise them to keep your backup files
up-to-date.

Follow these precautions to protect your hard disk drive from damage and to prevent
data from being lost:

Never attempt to open the hard disk drive.
Never turn off or reset the computer when the hard disk access light is on. This

light indicates that the computer is copying data to or from the hard disk. If you
interrupt this work, you can lose data.

you can change the setting for pointing to an item to be selecting it and for one
clicking on an item to be opening it, See Help index for more information.

Resetting the Computer

You may occasionally want to clear the computer's current settings or its memory
without turning it off. For example, if an error occurs and computer does not respond
to your keyboard entries, you can reset it to reload your operating system and tr y
again. However, resetting erases any data in memory that you have not saved. So
reset only if necessary.

If you want to reset the computer, the operating system must be on your first boot
device. The first boot device of the system is set to C: (hard disk drive) in the Setup
Program.

If you are using Windows 95 as your operating system, use one of the follwing two
methods.

Select Shut Down|Restart the computer? from the Start menu.
Hold down Ctrl and Alt and press Del and once again.

If the computer problem is not resolved by resetting the computer, you need to turn
off the system by pressing the power button and then turning the system on again.

Using the SETUP Program

About the SETUP Program

You can use the SETUP program to change the computer's configuration information
when you installed or removed system options.

The SETUP program is stored in your motherboard's read-onl y memory (ROM), so
you can run the program any time you turn on or reset the computer. You don't need
to insert a diskette or access a hard disk.

The configuration you define through SETUP is stored in a special area of memory
called CMOS RAM. The battery on the motherboard backs up this memory, so the
memory is not erased when you turn off or reset the computer. Whenever you reboot
the computer, it checks the settings, and if it discovers a difference between the
information in the CMOS RAM and its actual hardware configuration, it prompts you
to run SETUP.

You may see a message such as the following:

106: CMOS Checksum Bad
Press F1 to Resume

If this happens, just press F1 to run SETUP and then correct the setting.

Security

Three icons appear in the Security menu.

Supervisor / User

These two options make it possible to restrict access to the SETUP program and to
restrict who can boot the computer by enabling you to set passwords for two different
access modes: Supervisor mode and User mode.

A Supervisor password and a User password can be set for the SETUP program and
for booting the computer.

Supervisor mode has full access to all the SETUP options whereas User mode has
limited access to the options. Setting separate Supervisor and User passwords enables
a system supervisor to restrict who can change cr itical SETUP values.

When you run SETUP by entering your User password, you can change the three
items only: Advanced, User, and Color Set.

If you set both the Supervisor and User passwords, you must set the Supervisor
password first. Once both are set, you can enter either the Supervisor password or the
User password to access SETUP or the computer.

The system can be configured so that all users can enter a password every time you
turn on or reset the system, or run SETUP, using Supervisor password only or both
passwords.
