FCC Part 68
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the
FCC rules. The FCC Ringer Equivalence

telephone line may result in the devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. In
most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of
the number of devices that may be connected
to the line, as determined by the total RENs,
contact the telephone company to determine
the maximum REN for the calling area.
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in this
manual could void your authority to operate
this equipment.
Only peripherals (such as computer input/
output devices, terminals, and printers) that
comply with FCC Class B limits may be
attached to this computer product. Operation
with noncompliant peripherals is likely to
result in interference to radio and television
reception.
If the terminal equipment causes harm to the
telephone network, the telephone company
will notify you in advance that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required.
But if advance notice is not practical, the
telephone company will notify the customer
as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised
of your right to file a complaint with the FCC
if you believe it is necessary.
All cables used to connect peripherals must
be shielded and grounded. Operation with
cables, connected to peripherals, that are not
shielded and grounded, may result in
interference to radio and television reception.
The telephone company may make changes
in its facilities, equipment, operations or
procedures that could affect the operations of
the equipment. If this happens, the telephone
company will provide advance notice in
order for you to make the necessary
modifications in order to maintain
uninterrupted service.

Installing a 3.5-inch Internal Hard Disk Drive
Models that have only one hard disk drive have an available bay to hold
an additional 3.5-inch hard disk drive. The drive you install must not
require front panel access. Your system can support ATA-33, ATA-66 or

HomePNA Modem
The HomePNA standard uses frequency division multiplexing (FDM) to
use the same phone line for voice and data transmission. This enables
network access for any compatible HomePNA device that can be plugged
into a phone jack (RJ-11) in your home.
The HomePNA modem installed in your VAIO computer has a single
jack (RJ-11). If you want to use a single wall jack for your computer’s
Internet access and for a standard telephone, you can use an optional
1-to-2 jack adapter (splitter) in the telephone wall jack to accommodate
both lines.
Refer to the Home Networking Solutions: Using the HomePNA Modem with
Sony VAIO Computers documentation that accompanied your computer(s)
and the installation instructions that accompanied the HomePNA
device(s) for further information on the HomePNA modem.

Video Card
The video card occupies slot No. 4 (AGP slot). The video card has two
ports: a standard VGA-style port, and a DVI port.
The VGA-style port is a standard 15-pin high-density VGA-style port on
the rear bracket.
The DVI port is a 24-pin DVI port that can be attached to a Sony XGA
LCD panel (PCVA-15XD2), which uses a DVI connector cable (sold
separately). The DVI port can also be connected to any other DVI-
equipped LCD/VGA monitor.
You can physically connect both a VGA and an LCD monitor at the same
time. However, you cannot use both monitors at the same time. If you
operate only one monitor to the system, the system automatically detects
which monitor is connected. If you connect both monitors, you must
choose one monitor from the Display settings.
The video card has 32 MB of SDRAM and has a 128-bit wide bus.

If you set these passwords...
User password only
...the following passwords are required:
User password is required at bootup.
Supervisor password only
No password is required at bootup.
Supervisor password is required by most

Miscellaneous Technical Information
Beep Code Error Messages
During a normal bootup, a single short beep signifies that the system is
OK. Other beep patterns signify errors. The number of beeps indicates the
specific error that occurred.
The Sony Online Support technical representative will need to know how
many beeps your system produces if there is an error, so be sure to count
the number of beeps before calling for support.
