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 not interfere with each other through RF emissions. E.g. If you turn on your microwave, your television should not display interference if both items are CE marked to the EMC directive.
If emitted RF energy is not low, it can interfere with other electrical circuitry - E.g. cars automatic braking systems have become activated 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 also 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 undergo testing 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 is due 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. Any modifications made to your Viglen computer system, it might breach EMC regulations. XMA take no responsibility (about EMC characteristics) of equipment that has been altered or modified.

4.2 Troubleshooting Procedures
This section provides instructions to troubleshooting procedure to identify a problem and locate its source.
CAUTION!
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.
Plug the system properly into grounded power outlet. Make sure your keyboard and video display is connected correctly to the system. Turn
on the video display, and turn up its brightness and contrast controls to at least two­thirds of the maximum (refer to the documentation supplied with the video display).
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.
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.
Confirm that the operating system has loaded.

4.3 Problems & Suggestions
What happens
What to do
Application software problems
Try resetting the system. Make sure all cables are installed correctly. Verify that the system board jumpers are set properly. Verify that your system hardware configuration is set correctly. In Setup, check the values against the system settings you recorded previously. If an error is evident, (wrong type of drive specified, for example), make the change in Setup and reboot the system. Record your change. Make sure the software is properly configured for the system. Refer to the software documentation for information. Try a different copy of the software to see if the problem is with the copy you are using. If other software runs correctly on the system, contact the vendor of the software that fails. If you check all of the above with no success, try clearing CMOS RAM and reconfiguring the system. Make sure you have your list of system settings available to re-enter, because clearing CMOS RAM sets the options to their default values.
Characters on- screen are distorted or incorrect
Make sure the brightness and contrast controls are properly adjusted on the monitor. Make sure the video signal cable and power cables are properly installed. Make sure your monitor is compatible with the video mode you have selected.
Characters do not appear on screen
Make sure the video display is plugged in and turned on. Check that the brightness and contrast controls are properly adjusted. Check that the video signal cable is properly installed. Make sure a video board is installed, enabled, and the jumpers are positioned correctly. Reboot the system.

What happens
What to do
CMOS RAM settings are wrong
If system settings stored in CMOS RAM change for no apparent reason (for example, the time of day develops an error), the backup battery may no longer have enough power to maintain the settings. Replace the battery (Chapter 2).
Diskette drive light does not go on when drive is in use or is tested by POST
Make sure the power and signal cables for the drive are properly installed. Check that the drive is properly configured and enabled in Setup.
Hard drive light does not go on when drive is in use or is tested by POST
Make sure the power and signal cables for the drive are properly installed. Make sure the front panel connector is securely attached to the system board headers. Check that the drive is properly configured and enabled in Setup. Check the drive manufacturer's manual for proper configuration for remote hard disk drive activity. Power-on light does not go on
If the system is operating normally, check the connector between the system board and the front panel. If OK, the light may be defective.
Prompt doesn't appear after system boots
It’s probably switched off. A serious fault may have occurred consult your dealer service department / Technical Support.
Setup, can't enter
If you can't enter Setup to make changes, check the switch that disables entry into Setup (Chapter 2). If the switch is set to allow entry into Setup, you might need to clear CMOS RAM to the default values and reconfigure the system in Setup.
System halts before completing POST

System BIOS
5.1 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. American Megatrends Inc, an industrial leader in the field of BIOS software, has written it.
5.2 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.
