Important Safety Instructions  
Warning!  
Observe the following safety instructions when using your system:  
Do not attempt to service  
the system yourself except  
as explained elsewhere in  
the system documentation.  
Adjust only those controls  
covered in the instructions.  
Follow all instructions marked on this product and in the  
documentation.  
When the system is turned off, a small amount of electrical current  
still runs through the system. Always unplug the system from the  
electrical outlet before cleaning the system or opening the cover.  
Opening or removing  
covers marked “Do Not  
Remove” may expose you  
to dangerous voltages or  
other risks.  
Do not use this product near water or a heat source, such as a  
radiator or heat register.  
Do not spill anything on or into the system. The best way to avoid  
spills is to avoid eating and drinking near your system.  
Refer all servicing of those  
compartments to qualified  
service personnel.  
Make sure you set up the system on a stable work surface.  
Openings in the system cabinet are provided for ventilation. Do not  
block or cover these openings. Make sure you provide adequate  
space (at least 12 inches) around the system for ventilation when  
you set up your work area. Never insert objects of any kind into the  
system ventilation slots.  
Use the voltage setting for your area. The voltage selector switch is  
set at the factory to the correct voltage.  
This system is equipped with a 3-wire grounding plug (a plug with  
a grounding pin). This plug will only fit into a grounded power  
outlet. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat the purpose of the  
grounding pin. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,  
contact your electrician to replace the outlet.  
Do not walk on the power cord or allow anything to rest on it.  
If you use an extension cord with this system, make sure the total  
ampere ratings on the products plugged into the extension cord do  
not exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Also, the total ampere  
requirements for all products plugged into the wall outlet must not  
exceed 15 amperes.

Maintaining Your System  
Your system and its components need regular maintenance. Some programs  
that help maintain the integrity of the hard disks in your system come as  
part of your operating system. The following sections contain information  
about maintaining your system.  
Maintaining the hard disk  
Hard disks need regular maintenance because running the system software  
divides files, creates spaces between data, and otherwise decreases hard  
disk performance. Windows 95 and Windows 98 provide maintenance tools  
that help prevent possible hard disk problems. The two most important tools  
for hard disk maintenance are the programs ScanDisk and Disk  
Defragmenter. Windows NT has a similar maintenance tool called Check  
Disk. To use these programs, consult your Windows Help or the operating  
system documentation.  
Hard disk partition information  
The hard drive shipped with your Windows 95 or Windows 98 system is  
partitioned using file allocation table (FAT)32.  
The first 2 gigabytes (GB) of the hard drive shipped with your Windows  
NT system are partitioned as FAT16. The rest of the space on the drive is  
partitioned as NT file system (NTFS). Any other hard drives shipped from  
the factory with your system are partitioned as NTFS.  
FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS are different methods the operating system uses  
to locate files on a hard drive. NTFS supports large drive sizes, but NTFS  
partitions cannot be viewed with Microsoft® disk operating system  
(MS-DOS®) diagnostic utilities, like fdisk. See your Windows NT manual  
for more information on NTFS.

Installing LANDesk Client Manager  
Intels LANDesk Client Manager is the Desktop Management Interface  
(DMI) solution that is already loaded on your system. LANDesk Client  
Manager lets you monitor your system for critical situations that may need  
your attention. It also lets your system administrator remotely inventory and  
manage systems on your network.  
To install LANDesk Client Manager  
In the C:\DMI folder, double-click the Setup icon to launch the  
InstallShield® wizard.  
1.  
2.  
Follow the instructions that appear on your screen. If you are prompted  
for a password during the installation process, enter LOWTCO.  
LANDesk Client Manager comes with complete electronic documentation  
and online help. Refer to these documents and Help for any LANDesk  
concerns.  
Advanced Power Management (APM)  
The Windows 95 and Windows 98 operating systems (together with a  
supporting system board and BIOS capabilities) provide many power  
saving options. You can set when you want to have the hard drive spin  
down, if the monitor should go into a lowered power state, and other  
options.  
Consult your Windows Help or operating system documentation for more  
information about using power management.

Using Suspend Mode  
Important!  
Suspend, available in Windows 95, is a power management feature that lets  
you leave your computer on in a power-saving mode. When your computer  
is in Suspend, it appears to be off. However, it continues to receive incoming  
faxes and perform automatic tasks you have scheduled. When you exit  
Suspend, the computer returns to the state it was in without going through  
the normal startup routine.  
If your system is part of a  
Microsoft network, putting  
your computer in sleep  
mode does not disconnect  
you from your network  
connection.  
To put your system into Suspend  
Important!  
Save and close any open files to prevent data loss in the event of a  
power failure.  
1.  
If you have a Novell  
network and you put your  
system in Suspend mode, it  
will disconnect from the  
network.  
Click Start, and then click Suspend on the Start menu.  
2.  
3.  
The power LED turns amber and the monitor becomes dark,  
indicating that the computer has entered Suspend mode.  
To take your system out of Suspend  
Press any key on the keyboard or move the mouse.  
1.  
2.  
The power LED turns green, and your computer returns to the state it  
was in before it entered Suspend. However, if your system is part of a  
Novell network, putting your computer in Suspend disconnects you  
from your network connection. To reestablish your network  
connection:  
Click Start and then click Shut Down.  
A.  
B.  
From the Shutdown Windows options, select Close all programs and log  
on as a different user. Selecting that option bypasses the restart  
process and displays your network logon dialog box.  
Enter your password and click OK. Your logon script runs and your

Protecting Against Viruses  
A virus is a program written with malicious intent for the purpose of  
creating havoc in a computer system. It attaches itself to executable files or  
boot sectors, so it can replicate and spread. Some viruses may only cause  
your system to beep or display messages or images on the screen. Other  
viruses are highly destructive and corrupt or erase the contents of your files  
or diskettes. To be safe, never assume any virus is harmless.  
Viruses spread through direct contact with executable programs or boot  
sectors. Diskettes used in a contaminated system get a virus and transfer the  
virus when used in another system. A virus can also spread through  
programs downloaded from bulletin boards or the Internet.  
To protect your system against viruses  
Obtain an antivirus program and scan your system regularly.  
Make backup copies of all files and write-protect the diskettes.  
Obtain all software from reputable sources and always scan new  
software for any viruses before installing files.  
If you suspect your system has been infected, find and remove the viruses  
immediately using an antivirus program. Next, turn your system off and  
leave it off for at least 15 seconds before turning it back on. This is the only  
way to ensure the virus does not remain in your system RAM.

Cleaning Your System  
Your system needs to be cleaned occasionally. The following sections  
contain information about caring for the parts of your system.  
Cleaning the mouse  
If the mouse pointer on the screen moves erratically when you move the  
mouse, dirt is probably on the rollers inside the mouse.  
To clean the mouse  
Turn off the computer.  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Turn your mouse upside down and remove the mouse ball cover.  
Cup your hand under the mouse and turn your mouse right-side up.  
The mouse ball should drop into your hand. If it does not, gently shake  
the mouse until the ball drops out of the socket.  
Once the mouse ball is free, use adhesive tape to pick up any dust or  
lint on its surface and wipe away dirt or lint inside the ball socket. You  
can also blow into the socket to remove dirt and lint.  
4.  
If foreign matter is trapped inside the socket or on the rollers, use a  
cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to loosen it. Let surfaces dry  
completely after cleaning.  
Return the mouse ball to the socket and replace the cover.  
5.  
Cleaning the keyboard  
You should clean the keyboard occasionally to remove dust and lint  
particles trapped under the keys. The easiest way to do this is to blow  
trapped dirt from under the keys using an aerosol can of air with a narrow,  
straw-like extension.

If you spill liquid on the keyboard, turn off the computer and disconnect the  
keyboard. Turn the keyboard upside down to let the liquid drain out  
overnight before trying to use it again. If it fails to work after draining,  
contact Technical Support.  
Cleaning the monitor screen  
Use a soft cloth and window cleaner to clean the monitor screen. Squirt a  
little cleaner on the cloth (never directly on the screen), and wipe the screen  
with the cloth.  
Cleaning the computer and monitor cases  
Always turn off the computer and other peripherals before cleaning any  
components.  
Use a damp lint-free cloth to clean the computer case, monitor case,  
keyboard, speakers, and other parts of your system. Avoid abrasive or  
solvent cleaners because they can damage the finish on your components.

Terms and Definitions  
This list of terms should help you get acquainted with terms used in your  
computers documentation and in your system software.  
Applications - Software installed on your system. Sometimes called  
programs.  
BIOS - Basic input/output system. The BIOS is software that is  
independent of any operating system. It enables the computer to  
communicate with the monitor, keyboard, and other peripheral devices  
without using programs on the hard disk.  
The BIOS on your computer is flash BIOS, which means that is has been  
recorded on a memory chip that can be updated if needed.  
Boot - To start your computer. A cold boot resets the computer and runs  
through all computer self-tests. It is initiated by turning the computer off  
and then on again. A warm boot clears out computer memory only and is  
initiated by pressing  
.
CTRL+ALT+DEL  
Boot disk - A disk containing operating system programs required to start  
your computer. A boot disk can be a diskette, hard drive, or CD.  
Cache memory - Cache is very fast memory that can be located in the  
processor. Cache reduces the average time required for the processor to get  
the data it needs from the main memory by storing recently accessed data in  
the cache.  
CMOS memory - Complementary metal oxide semiconductor memory.  
CMOS memory is memory that is retained even when the computer is  
turned off. The Setup program settings and other parameters are maintained  
in CMOS memory.  
Disc - A compact disc (CD).  
Disk - The device used by the computer to store and retrieve information.  
Disk can refer to a diskette or a hard disk.  
Diskette - A removable disk, also called a floppy.

Hard drive - The drive installed inside your system that stores all your  
system and data files. Depending on its configuration, the computer may  
have more than one hard drive. Each drive is assigned its own drive letter. If  
you have only one drive, its drive letter is C, and it is often called “the C  
drive.”  
I/O - Input/output. Refers to devices, such as printers, whose purpose is to  
enter data into a computer or extract data from a computer. An I/O device is  
accessed through an I/O address: a location in memory reserved for the  
device to exchange information between itself and the rest of the computer.  
Operating system - A program that supervises the computers operation,  
including handling I/O, networking and connectivity, and device drivers.  
POST - Power-on self-test. POST tests your computers components  
whenever you turn on the computer.  
Programs - Software installed on your system. Programs are sometimes  
called applications.  
RAM - Random access memory. RAM is the computers system memory.  
You can write to and read from RAM. Information stored in RAM is  
temporary and is erased when the computer is turned off.  
RESET - Initiates a warm boot without POST information.  
ROM - Read-only memory. Permanent computer memory dedicated to a  
particular function. For example, the instructions for starting the computer  
when you first turn on power are contained in ROM. You cannot write to  
ROM.
