Disk drives
Your Veriton 5200 computer comes with the following disk drives:
Hard disk
Your computer is preinstalled with a high-capacity Enhanced-IDE
(E-IDE) hard disk.
Refer to “Replacing the hard disk” on page 58 for instructions on how
to upgrade or replace your hard disk.
3.5-inch floppy drive
Your computer’s 3.5-inch floppy drive supports 720-KB and 1.44-MB
capacity diskettes.
Floppy diskettes are compact, lightweight, and easy to carry around.
Here are some tips on how to take care of your diskettes:
•
Always make backup copies of the diskettes that contain
important data or program files.
•
•
Keep diskettes away from magnetic fields and sources of heat.
Avoid removing a diskette from the floppy drive when the drive
activity indicator is on.
•
Write-protect your diskettes to prevent accidental erasure. To do
this, slide the write-protect tab to the write-protect position (1).
Sliding the write-protect tab to the not-write-protect position (2)

will allow you to store and modify data in your diskettes.
•
When you put a label on a 3.5-inch diskette, make sure that the
label is properly attached (flat on the surface) and within the
labeling area (area with a slight surface depression) on the
diskette. An improperly attached label may cause a diskette to get
stuck in the floppy drive when you are inserting or removing it.
CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive
Your computer may come with a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM or a CD-RW
drive. This drive is located on the front panel of your computer.
The CD-ROM drive allows you to play different types of compact discs
(CDs).
The DVD-ROM drive allows you to play not only old CD-ROMs, CD-I
discs, and video CDs, but new Digital Video Discs (DVDs) as well. DVD
or DVD-ROM is a new type of CD-ROM that holds a minimum of 4.7-GB
(gigabytes), enough for a full-length movie. It is believed that it will
eventually replace CD-ROMs, as well as VHS video cassettes and laser
discs.
The CD-RW drive allows you to record or burn CD-R/W (Recordable or
Rewritable) discs.
CDs and DVDs, like diskettes, are compact, lightweight, and easy to
carry around. However, they are more delicate than diskettes and
must be handled with extra care. Here are some tips on how to take
care of your CDs and DVDs:
•
Keep your discs in a disk case when not in use to avoid scratches or
other damage. Any kind of dirt or damage can affect the data on
the disc, impair the disc lens reader on the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/CD-
RW drive, or stop the computer from successfully reading the disc.
•
When handling discs, always hold them by the edges to avoid
smudges or fingerprints.

•
When cleaning discs, use a clean, dust-free cloth and wipe in a
straight line from the center to the edge. Do not wipe in a circular
motion.
•
Clean your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive regularly. You may
refer to the cleaning kit for instructions. Cleaning kits can be
purchased in any computer or electronics shop.
To insert a CD/DVD into your computer’s CD-ROM/DVD-
ROM/CD-RW drive:
1
Gently press the drive Stop/Eject button located on the front
panel.

2
When the disc tray slides open, insert the CD/DVD with the label or
title side of the disc facing upward.
3
Gently press the disc down to make sure that it is properly
inserted.
Ca u t io n ! While pressing the CD/DVD, be careful not to bend the
disc tray. Make sure that the CD/DVD is properly inserted before
closing the disc tray. Improper insertion may damage both the
CD/DVD and the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive.

Arranging a comfortable work area
Working safely begins with the arrangement of your work space and
the proper use of equipment. For this reason, it is very important to
take time and think about how you are going to arrange your work
area.
Here are some points to consider:
Adjusting your chair
Having the right kind of chair does not necessarily mean that you’ll be
properly supported. It is necessary to adjust your chair to fit your body.
Proper body posture will make you more comfortable and productive.
•
•
•
Avoid tilting your chair. If you have a chair that tilts, lock the tilt
knobs so that your chair will not tilt forward or backward while
you are using your computer.
Adjust your chair height in such a way that you can sit on it with
your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet resting flat on the
floor.
Rest your body on the chair back. Your torso works harder to
maintain balance if you do not rest your body on the chair back.
Positioning your Veriton 5200
Take note of the following when selecting a location for your
computer:
•
Do not put your computer near any equipment that might cause
electromagnetic or radio frequency interference such as radio
transmitters, televisions, copy machines, or heating and air-
conditioning equipment.
•
•
Avoid dusty areas and extremes of temperature and humidity.
You may place your computer beside your desk or under your
table, as long as it does not block the space that you need for
working and moving.

3 Setting up your computer
26
Positioning your monitor
Place your monitor at a comfortable viewing distance, usually 50 to 60
centimeters away. Adjust the display in such a way that the top of the
screen is at or slightly below eye level.
Positioning your keyboard
The location of the keyboard is a very important factor to your
posture. Placing it too far away will make your body lean forward
forcing you to sit in an unnatural position. Placing it too high will add
tension to your shoulder muscles.
•
The keyboard should be placed just above your lap. Adjust the
keyboard height by flipping the folding stands located under the
keyboard.
•
Keep your lower arms parallel to the floor as you type. Your upper
arms and shoulders should be relaxed. Then try typing with a light
touch. If you feel any shoulder or neck strain, stop for a while and
check your posture.
•
Position your keyboard in front of your monitor. Putting your
keyboard beside your monitor will make you turn your head while
you type which could add tension to your neck muscles that may
later result in neck strain.
Positioning your mouse
•
•
•
The mouse should be placed on the same surface as your keyboard
so that you can reach it with ease.
Adjust its position to allow enough space for movement without
making you stretch or lean over.
Use your arm to move the mouse. Do not rest your wrist on the
table when moving the mouse.

Upgrading your computer
Certain components of your computer are upgradeable such as the
memory, the hard disk and the expansion cards. However, for safety
purposes, we do not recommend that you perform these upgrades
yourself. If you want to replace or upgrade any of these components,
contact your dealer or a qualified service technician for assistance.
Installing additional memory
The three 168-pin sockets on the mainboard support Synchronous
Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM)-type DIMMs. You may
install 32-MB, 64-MB, 128-MB, 256-MB, 512-MB or 1-GB capacity
DIMMS, single and double density, for a maximum memory capacity of
3 GB.
The SDRAM DIMMs should work under 3.3 volts; 5-volt memory devices
are not supported. PC-100 (100MHz) and PC-133 (133 MHz) SDRAM are
supported. Contact your dealer for qualified DIMM vendors.
together. Such a combination might cause your computer to
malfunction.
Each of the DIMM sockets is independent from each other. This
independence allows you to install DIMMs with different capacities to
form different configurations.
No t e : Observe the “ESD precautions” on page 47 when installing
or removing a computer component.
To remove a DIMM
Before you can install a new DIMM in a socket, remove first any previ-
ously installed DIMM.
