CHAPTER 2

BIOS SETUP

The primary function of the BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) is to identify and initiate component hardware. The BIOS parameters are stored in non-volatile BIOS memory (CMOS). CMOS contents don’t get erased when the computer is turned off. The following topics are described in this chapter.

• About the Setup Utility on page 11

• Main Screen on page 14

• Advanced Settings on page 15

• Boot Settings on page 19

• Security Settings on page 24

• Chipset Settings on page 25

• Exit Menu on page 27

About the Setup Utility

The BIOS Setup Utility enables you to configure the following items:

• Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals

• Video display type and display options

• Password protection from unauthorized use

• Power management features

This Setup Utility should be used for the following:

• When changing the system configuration

• When a configuration error is detected and you are prompted to make changes to the Setup Utility

• When trying to resolve IRQ conflicts

• When making changes to the Power Management configuration

• When changing the User or Supervisor password

11

Entering the Setup Utility

When you power on the system, BIOS enters the Power-On Self Test (POST) routines. POST is a series of built-in diagnostics performed by the BIOS. After the POST routines are completed, the following message appears:

CHAPTER 3

UPGRADING COMPONENTS

This chapter describes how to upgrade components for the EM-220. The following topics are described.

• Safety and precautions on page 29

• Before you begin on page 30

• Upgrading the hard drive on page 31

• Upgrading the memory module on page 33

• Upgrading the Mini-PCIE card on page 34

Safety and precautions

Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of static electricity.

Working on computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow these guidelines to avoid damage to the computer or injury to yourself.

• Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet.

• Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they ship with until they are ready for installation.

• After replacing optional devices, make sure all screws, springs, or other small parts are in place and are not left loose inside the case. Metallic parts or metal flakes can cause electrical shorts.

CAUTION

Only qualified personnel should perform repairs on the machine.

Damage due to unauthorized servicing is not covered by the warranty.

If you are not confident of installing a hard drive, memory card or LAN card, we recommend that you refer the job to qualified personnel.

WARNING

If the LCD breaks and fluid gets onto your hands or into your eyes, immediately wash with water and seek medical attention.

WARNING

The inverter card has high voltage. Do not touch the inverter card while power is connected to the machine. Unplug the power cord before attempting to replace any part.

CAUTION

To prevent static damage to components, wear a grounded wrist strap.

Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body of any other grounded appliance.

CAUTION

Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the components on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Do not flex or stress the circuit board. Do not hold components such as a processor by its pins; hold it by the edges.

29

Before you begin

Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into components and may cause malfunction. Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components.

Most of the electrical and mechanical connections can be disconnected by using your fingers. It is recommended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to disconnect connectors as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

CAUTION

To prevent scratching the case of the machine, make sure the worktop surface is clean and flat.

APPENDIX

This appendix describes locating and solving problems that you may encounter while using the EM-220.

Troubleshooting

Often after time spent troubleshooting, the problem is traced to something as simple as a loose connection.

Check the following before proceeding to the problem-specific solutions.

Tips for Troubleshooting

In each problem-specific section, try the steps in the order suggested. This may help you to solve the problem more quickly. Try to pin point the problem and thus avoid replacing non-defective parts. For example, if you replace batteries and the problem remains, put the original batteries back and go to the next step.

Keep a record of the steps you take when troubleshooting: The information may be useful when calling for technical support or for passing on to service personnel.

• Use some other electrical device to confirm that the electrical outlet is working.

• Ensure all connections are securely attached.

37

General Problems

Refer to the following general problems you may encounter.

PROBLEM

The display screen is dark.

An incorrect date and time are displayed.

Cannot be turned off after crash.

Cannot be powered on

SOLUTION

Make sure that the EM-220 is not in suspend mode.

Set the date and time in BIOS or Operation

System.

Long press the power button for 4 seconds to force shutdown.

Connect the AC adapter, if it can be powered on, there is insufficient battery power. If it still unable to be powered on after charging, please have the

EM-220 serviced.

38 A P P E N D I X

Having the EM-220 Serviced

If you are unable to solve the problem, you should have the terminal serviced. Pack the terminal in the original carton. (See “Unpacking the EM-220” on page 1.) Include a description of the problem and a checklist of the steps you took when trying to fix the problem. The information may be useful to the service personnel. Return the terminal to the place you purchased it.
