Viglen, EMC and the ‘CE’ mark

CE Marking

European standards are being harmonised across borders. If products comply with
the same standards in all European countries, product exporting and importing is
made simple - paving our way to a common market. If you buy a product with a 'CE'
mark on it (shown below), on the box, in the manual, or on the guarantee - it complies
with the currently enforced directive(s).

Introduction to EMC

EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) is the term used to describe certain issues with
RF (Radio Frequency) energy. Electrical items should be designed so they do not
interfere with each other through RF emissions. El.g. If you turn on your microwave,
your television shouldn't display interference if both items are CE marked to the EMC
directive.

If emitted RF energy is not kept low, it can interfere with other electrical circuitry - E.g.
Cars Automatic Braking Systems have been known to activate by themselves while in
a strong RF field. As this has obvious repercussions ALL electrical products likely to
cause RF related problems have to be 'CE' marked from 1st January 1996 onwards.

If a product conforms to the EMC directive, not only should its RF emissions be very
low, but its immunity to RF energy (and other types) should be high. The apparatus
has to resist many 'real world' phenomena such as static shocks and mains voltage
transients.

Viglen’s Environment laboratory

To gain a 'CE' mark, the Viglen computer range has had to undergo many difficult
tests to ensure it is Electromagnetically Compatible. These are carried out in the in­house 'Environment lab' at Viglen Headquarters. We have made every effort to
guarantee that each computer leaving our factory complies fully with the correct
standards. To ensure the computer system maintains compliance throughout its
functional life, it is essential you follow these guidelines.

 Install the system according to Viglen’s instructions
 If you open up your Viglen:
 Keep internal cabling in place as supplied.
 Ensure the lid is tightly secured afterwards
 Do not remove drive bay shields unless installing a 'CE' marked peripheral in its

place

 The clips or ‘bumps' around the lips of the case increase conductivity - do not

remove or damage.

 Do not remove the ferrite ring from the L.E.D cables.
 Only use your Viglen computer with 'CE' marked peripherals

This system has been tested in accordance with European standards for use in
residential and light industrial areas-this specifies a 10 meter testing radius for
emissions and immunity. If you do experience any adverse effects which you think
might be related to your computer, try moving it at least 10 meters away from the

affected item. If you still experience problems, contact Viglen’s Technical Support

department who will put you straight through to an EMC engineer - s/he will do
everything possible to help. If modifications are made to your Viglen computer system,
it might breach EMC regulations. XMA take no responsibility (with regards to EMC
characteristics) of equipment which has been tampered with or modified.

Upgrade Procedures

Make sure you are earthed and free of static charge before you open the computer
case. If you are unsure about upgrading your computer, return it to Viglen so a qualified
engineer can perform the upgrade.

Steps to take to prevent static discharge:

1. The best way to prevent static discharge is to buy an anti-static strap from your local
electrical shop. While you are wearing the strap and it is earthed, static charge will
be harmlessly bled to ground.

2. Do not remove the component from its anti-static protective packaging until you are
about to install it.

3. Hold boards by the edges - try not to touch components / interface strips etc.

NOTE: We recommend that you return your computer to the service
department for upgrading. Any work carried out is fully guaranteed.
Upgrades should only be carried out by persons who are familiar with
handling ic's, as incorrect installation will invalidate the guarantee.

3.2.1 Upgrading the CPU

Troubleshooting Procedures

This section provides a step-by-step troubleshooting procedure to identify a problem
and locate its source.

CAUTION!

1. Turn off the system and any peripheral devices before you disconnect any peripheral
cables from the system. Otherwise, you can permanently damage the system or the
peripheral devices.

2. Make sure the system is plugged into a properly grounded power outlet.

3. Make sure your keyboard and video display are correctly connected to the system.
Turn on the video display, and turn up its brightness and contrast controls to at least
two-thirds of the maximum (refer to the documentation supplied with the video
display).

4. If the operating system normally loads from the hard disk drive, make sure there is
no diskette in the diskette drive. If the operating system normally loads from a
diskette, insert the operating system diskette into the drive.

5. Turn on the system. If the power indicator does not light, but the system seems to
be operating normally, the indicator is probably defective. Monitor the power-on self
test (POST) execution. Each time you turn on the system, the POST checks the
system board, memory, keyboard, and certain peripheral devices.

NOTE: If the POST does not detect any errors, the system beeps once and boots up.

Errors that do not prevent the boot process (non-fatal errors) display a message that
looks similar to the following:

Error Message Line 1
Error Message Line 2
Press <DEL> for Set-up, <F1> to Boot

You can note the error and press <F1> to resume the boot-up process, or <DEL>
to enter Set-up.

Errors that prevent the boot process from continuing (fatal errors), are communicated
by a series of audible beeps. If this type of error occurs, refer to the error codes and
messages listed at the end of this chapter.

6. Confirm that the operating system has loaded.

Chapter 5 System BIOS

What is the BIOS?

The BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is an important piece of software which is stored
in a ROM (Read Only Memory) chip inside the computer. It consists of the basic
instructions for controlling the disk drives, hard disk, keyboard and serial/parallel ports.
The BIOS also keeps a list of the specifications of the computer in battery-backed RAM
(also known as the CMOS RAM) and provides a special Setup program to change this
information.

The BIOS in your Viglen computer is guaranteed to be fully compatible with the IBM
BIOS. It has been written by American Megatrends Inc, an industrial leader in the field
of BIOS software.

The Power-On sequence

When the computer is first switched on, certain instructions in the BIOS are executed to
test various parts of the machine. This is known as the POST (Power-On Self-Test)
routine. When you switch the computer on (or when you press the Reset button or press
<Ctrl> + <Alt>+ <Delete> keys, which has the same effect), you can see on the monitor
that it counts through the memory, testing it. The floppy disk drives are then accessed
and tested, and the various interfaces are checked. If there are any errors, a message
is displayed on the screen.

33
V1.0 Vig760S Motherboard Manual
