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.

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.

5.5.8 Configuring Raid 1 in Bios Program

RAID 1 (Mirroring): A RAID 1 setup protects data from drive failure by simultaneously
writing the same data to two hard drives. Since each drive is an exact duplicate of the
other, you can continue working if one fails. RAID 1 offers no gain in performance and
effectively reduces available capacity by half -- two 2TB drives provide only 2TB of storage.

To perform RAID configuration, you will need the following;

 Install two identical drives
 Change the SATA Mode Selection to “Intel RST Premium(RAID)” in the BIOS
 Create a RAID Volume
 Re-image the System.

Change the SATA Mode Selection to “Intel RST Premium (RAID)” in the BIOS

1. Access the bios by pressing the delete or F2 Key.

2. Navigate to the Advance taskbar and select “PCH Storage Configuration”
