USB Connectors
The iPAQ Desktop Personal Computer features two internal USB controllers,
each providing data transfer rates up to 12 megabits per second (Mbps). One
of these controllers is dedicated exclusively to a new, full-speed Universal
Serial Bus (USB) connector (shown on the previous page). The other five
USB connectors share the second controller.
Any USB device (including keyboard and mouse) can be connected to any
USB connector. However, Compaq recommends the use of the full-speed
USB connector, with its dedicated 12Mbps controller, for devices such as
scanners, digital cameras, external I/O devices, and printers that can utilize
the additional speed for maximum performance.
Legacy Module
Microsoft Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 will not run properly if the Legacy Module is not
installed or has been removed from the iPAQ Desktop Personal Computer. The Legacy Module is
optional on systems running Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional or Microsoft Windows
Millennium.
✎
The Legacy Module (standard on select models) provides serial, parallel, PS/2
mouse, and PS/2 keyboard connectors. For more information, refer to
chapter 5, “Using the Legacy Module.”

Turning Off the Personal Computer
To properly turn off the personal computer, first shut down the operating
system software. In Microsoft Windows operating systems, click Start > Shut
Down.
In Windows NT Workstation 4.0, the power button always functions as a
power switch. However, in the default configuration of Windows 98,
Windows 2000 Professional, or Windows Millenium, pressing the power
button does not turn off the power, but causes the Personal Computer to enter
a low-power state. This allows you to conserve energy without closing
software applications; later, you can start using the computer immediately,
without having to restart the operating system and without any data loss.
If the power button is pressed and held in for four seconds, power to the Personal Computer will
turn off completely. To reconfigure the power button to work in On/Off mode, run Computer
Setup. Refer to the “Computer Setup Utilities (F10 Setup)” section of the Troubleshooting Guide
for more information on using Computer Setup.

Adding System Memory and Upgrading the Internal Hard Drive
Adding System Memory
The memory sockets on the personal computer can be populated with
industry-standard DIMMs. These memory module slots are populated with at
least one preinstalled memory module. To achieve the maximum memory
support, you may be required to replace the preinstalled DIMM with a higher
capacity DIMM.
For proper system operation, the DIMMs must be industry-standard 168-pin,
100 MHz, unbuffered, PC100-compliant SDRAM DIMMs, or 133 MHz,
unbuffered, PC133-compliant SDRAM DIMMs. If two DIMMs are installed,
they must be the same speed. This computer comes equipped with 133 MHz
DIMMs.
The SDRAM DIMMs must support CAS Latency 2 or 3 (CL = 2 or CL = 3).
They must also contain the mandatory Joint Electronic Device Engineering
Council (JEDEC) Serial Presence Detect (SPD) information. DIMMs
constructed with x4 SDRAM are not supported; the system will not start when
equipped with unsupported DIMMs.
Adding or Removing a Memory Module
CAUTION: Your memory module sockets have gold-plated metal contacts. When upgrading your
memory, it is important to use memory modules with gold-plated metal contacts to prevent
corrosion and/or oxidation resulting from having incompatible metals in contact with each other.

Communications
Accessing the Internet
Using the Optional USB Modem
If you do not have a network connection to the Internet, you will need an
Internet service provider and an external USB modem, available from
Compaq. Refer to the documentation included with the modem for
instructions on installing, configuring, and using the modem.
Choosing an Internet Service Provider
An Internet service provider (ISP) gives you the dial-up (telephone
networking) access and software you need to connect to the Internet. Most
ISPs also offer E-mail, access to newsgroups, space to create Web pages, and
technical support. Some ISPs offer commercial services, such as domain
hosting, to companies and individuals wanting to do business on the Internet.
You can choose from local and national ISPs.
An online service provider, such as The Microsoft Network (MSN) or
America Online (AOL), offers special features, content, and technical support
in addition to providing access to the Internet. An online service provider may
provide a categorized or customizable home page that makes it easy for you to
find some of the most popular and useful sites on the Internet.
To find the provider that’s right for you:
I Look in the Yellow Pages
I Ask a friend or colleague for recommendations
I If you have access to the Internet already, you can use a search engine,
such as AltaVista, to help you locate an ISP or online service provider.
ISPs typically offer a variety of service plans for different customers’ needs.
Be sure to review and compare plans, services offered, and price to find the
provider that is right for you and your needs.

If Remote Wakeup is enabled, the link/activity light will remain functional
even when power to the Personal Computer is turned off.
Disabling the Autosensing Capabilities
Autosensing NICs automatically determine the maximum network operating
speed of the attached network and configure themselves accordingly. The
Personal Computer begins autosensing whenever it loses a valid network link,
for example, if the cable is disconnected.
In addition to determining the network operating speed, the Personal
Computer determines if full-duplex is supported. Full-duplex systems can
transmit and receive information on the network simultaneously. Half-duplex
systems cannot transmit and receive simultaneously.
If necessary, you can disable the autosensing capabilities and force the system
to operate in one mode only.
1. Select the Network icon, located in the Control Panel.
2. Select the appropriate NIC in the list box and click Properties.
3. Change the Speed and Duplex values from Automatic/Auto Duplex to the
appropriate values, depending on the capabilities of your network.
4. Exit the Network control application. You will be prompted to restart
Personal Computer in order for the changes to take effect.
100Base-TX operation requires the use of Category 5 UTP cable with an RJ-45 network
connection.

Installing Network Drivers
The device drivers in the network software enable the Personal Computer to
communicate with the network.
Device drivers are supplied for the Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 and Windows 95, Windows
98, or Windows 2000 operating systems, depending on which system was preinstalled on the
Personal Computer. If you are using another operating system, device drivers may be installed
from diskettes included with the network operating system or are available from Compaq. If
reinstallation of the operating system ever becomes necessary, use the Compaq Restore CD.

Desktop Management
COMPAQ pioneered desktop manageability in 1995 with the introduction of
the industry's first fully manageable desktop personal computers. Since then,
Compaq has led an industry-wide effort to develop the standards and
infrastructure required to effectively deploy, configure, and manage desktop
PCs. Compaq Intelligent Manageability provides standards-based solutions
for managing and controlling desktops in a networked environment. Compaq
works closely with leading management software solution providers in the
industry to ensure compatibility between Intelligent Manageability and these
products. Intelligent Manageability is an important aspect of our broad
commitment to providing you with PC Lifecycle Solutions that assist you
during the four phases of the desktop PC lifecycle-planning, deployment,
management, and transitions.
This guide summarizes the capabilities and features of the four key
components of desktop management:
I Initial Configuration and Deployment
I Asset tracking and security
I Fault notification and recovery
I Software updating and management
The guide also contains an overview of the tools, utilities, and information
Compaq provides to help you successfully deploy manageable desktop PCs.

Fault Notification and Recovery
Fault Notification and Recovery features combine innovative hardware and
software technology to prevent the loss of critical data and minimize
unplanned downtime.
When a fault occurs, the Personal Computer displays a Local Alert message
containing a description of the fault and any recommended actions. You can
then view current system health by using the Compaq Management Agent. If
the Personal Computer is connected to a network managed by Compaq
Insight Manager LC, Compaq Insight Manager or other management products
from Compaq Management Solutions Partners, the Personal Computer also
sends a fault notice to the network management application.
Celeron and Pentium III Fault Prediction and Prefailure Warranty
When the processor encounters an excessive number of error checking and
correcting (ECC) cache memory errors, the Personal Computer displays a
Local Alert message. This message contains detailed information about the
faulty processor, allowing you to take action before you experience
non-correctable cache memory errors. The Prefailure Warranty allows you to
replace these processors, free of charge, before they actually fail.
SMART Hard Drive Fault Prediction
SMART hard drive fault prediction and Prefailure Warranty apply only to internal hard drives, not
to MultiBay drives.
✎
The SMART hard drive monitors hard drive activity to predict failures and, in
some cases, fix faults before failures occur. Fault prediction and failure
indication parameters, such as abnormal variations in spinup and seek times,
or non-correctable read and write errors, are tracked to determine the hard
drive condition. Should these errors become significant, the Personal
Computer displays a warning message. The warning gives you time to back
up the hard drive and replace it prior to experiencing downtime or loss of data.
The Prefailure Warranty for SMART hard drives allows you to replace these
drives, free of charge, before the drives fail.
SMART hard drives are compliant with the Small Form Factor Committee
Specification for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology
(SMART). SMART is the industry standard technology, pioneered by
Compaq and originally called IntelliSafe, that allows you to prevent data loss
and minimize downtime, in concert with Compaq Management Agents.

Introducing the Drive Protection System
The Compaq Drive Protection System (DPS) is a diagnostic tool built into the
internal hard drive. DPS is designed to help diagnose problems that might
result in unwarranted hard drive replacement.
When Compaq personal computers are built, each installed hard drive is
tested using DPS and a permanent record of key information is written onto
the drive. Each time DPS is run, test results are written to the hard drive. Your
service provider can use this information to help diagnose conditions that
caused you to run the DPS software. Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for
instructions on using DPS.
Ultra ATA Integrity Monitoring
Ultra ATA Integrity Monitoring monitors the integrity of data as it is
transferred between an Ultra ATA hard drive and the system's core logic. If
the Personal Computer detects an abnormal number of transmission errors,
the Personal Computer displays a Local Alert message with recommended
actions. An alert is also sent over the network to the system administrator.
Surge-Tolerant Power Supply
An integrated surge-tolerant power supply provides greater reliability when

Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown
The personal computer features an integrated network interface card that
supports the Compaq Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown functions.
These functions allow a system administrator to power on and power off the
PC from a remote location, supported by PC LAN management tools.
Third-party software tools are required to remotely distribute software.
✎
✎
Remote Wakeup allows the network interface controller to continue
functioning, even when power to the personal computer has been turned off.
The Personal Computer continues to consume a small amount of electricity even after you turn it
off. Only when you disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet does the Personal
Computer stop consuming electricity.
To enable Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown, complete the following
steps:
1. Double-click the Network Icon, located in the Control Panel.
2. Double-click the appropriate network controller.
3. Click the Advanced Properties tab.

Dual-State Power Button
With Advanced Power Management (APM) enabled in Windows 98 or
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) enabled for Windows
98 and Windows 2000, the power button can function either as an on/off
switch or as a suspend button. The suspend feature does not turn off power
altogether, but instead causes the Personal Computer to enter a low-power
standby. This allows you to quickly power down without closing applications
and to quickly return to the same operational state without any data loss.
To change the power button's configuration, complete the following steps:
1. Access the Computer Setup menu.
2. Select Power > Energy Saver. Select Minimal or Advanced to turn on the
Energy Saver Options menu.
3. Select Power > Energy Saver Options. Set the power button configuration
to either On/Off or Suspend/Wakeup, as desired.
Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more detailed information about
the features of Computer Setup.
4. Select File > Save Changes and Exit.
After configuring the power button to function as a suspend button, press the
power button to put the system in a very low power state (suspend). Press the
button again to quickly bring the system out of suspend to full power status.
To completely turn off all power to the system, press and hold the power
button for four seconds.
If you have selected the "Blink LED during Energy Save" option in Computer Setup, the power-on
light will blink green once every two seconds while the Personal Computer is in suspend. Refer to
the Troubleshooting Guide for more information on using Computer Setup.

without having to shut down the Personal Computer. Timeouts (the period of
inactivity allowed before shutting down these components) can be enabled,
customized, or disabled using Computer Setup.
1. Access the Computer Setup menu.
2. Select Power > Energy Saver. Select Advanced to turn on the Timeouts
menu.
3. Select Power > Timeouts. Enable, customize, or disable timeouts.
Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more detailed information about
the features of Computer Setup.
4. Select File > Save Changes and Exit.
To avoid potential conflicts, never enable monitor timeouts in Windows 95 or Windows 98 while
system timeouts are enabled in Computer Setup.

World Wide Web Site
Compaq engineers rigorously test and debug software developed by Compaq
and third-party suppliers, and develop operating-system specific support
software, to ensure the highest level of performance, compatibility, and
reliability for Compaq Personal Computers.
When making the transition to new or revised operating systems, it is
important to implement the support software designed for that operating
system. If you plan to run a version of Microsoft Windows or Microsoft
Windows NT Workstation that is different from the version included with
your Personal Computer, you must install corresponding Compaq device
drivers and utilities to ensure all features are supported and functioning
properly.

Building Blocks and Partners
Compaq management solutions are based on industry standards, including
DMI 2.0, Web-Based Enterprise Management, Intel's "Wired for
Management," SNMP, and Net PC technologies. Microsoft, Intel,
Hewlett-Packard, Novell, Seagate, and other industry leaders work closely
with Compaq to integrate their management solutions with Compaq products
and initiatives, giving you, the Compaq customer, extraordinary flexibility
and functionality in client management and PC ownership cost reduction.
Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
The Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF) is an industry body created in
1992 with the goal of standardizing systems manageability. DMTF
established the Desktop Management Interface (DMI) framework to
standardize access to PC configuration data. Compaq, as a Steering
Committee and Technical Committee member of the DMTF, delivers
hardware and software instrumentation that supports the DMI standard.
For more information on configuring the DMI software, refer to the online
Intelligent Manageability Guide.
Wired for Management
Intel's Wired for Management initiative is focused on reducing the support
and administration cost of Intel architecture-based systems without
compromising their flexibility and performance. The Wired for Management
guidelines provide a baseline set of building blocks that Compaq utilizes in
Intelligent Manageability to provide standardized management of desktop
inventories, remote system configuration, off-hours maintenance, and next
