Optical drive

Your computer may come with a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM or a combo DVD/

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 digital video discs (DVDs) as well. DVD or DVD-ROM is a type of disc media that holds a minimum of 4.7-GB (gigabytes), enough for a full-length movie. The

CD-RW drive allows you to record or burn CD-RW (recordable and rewritable) discs.

CDs and DVDs, like diskettes, are also compact, lightweight, and easy to carry around. However, they are more delicate than diskettes and must be handled with extra care.

To insert a CD or DVD into your computer’s CD-ROM or DVD drive:

1.

Gently push the Eject button located on the front panel.


28 2 System tour

2.

When the disc tray slides open, place the CD or DVD gently on the tray. Make sure that the label or title side of the disc is facing upward. When holding a disc, hold it by the edges to avoid leaving smudges or fingerprints.

3.

Push the eject button again to close the tray.

To take care of your CDs and DVDs

• Keep your disc in its 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 or DVD 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 or DVD drive periodically. You may refer to the

Cleaning kit for instructions. Cleaning kits can be purchased in any computer or electronics shop.


Hard disk

Your computer is preinstalled with a high-capacity Enhanced-IDE (E-

IDE) hard disk.

30 2 System tour





This chapter contains step-by-step instructions on how to set up your computer and connect additional peripherals.


34 3 Setting up your computer

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. Refer to the diagram on the following page as you set up your system.

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 PC

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 airconditioning 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.


35

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


36 3 Setting up your computer 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.


37

Connecting peripherals

Setting up your computer is easy. For the most part, you only have four things to connect: the mouse, the keyboard, the monitor, and the power cable.

Note: The peripherals shown in the connections below are for your reference only. Actual device models may vary in select countries.

Upgrading your computer

Certain components of your computer are upgradeable such as the memory, the hard disk, the CPU and the expansion cards. You need to

observe the “Installation precautions” on page 56 when installing or

removing a computer component. 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.

Note: The mainboard model shown in the following figures may not be exactly the same with the one found in your computer.

Installing additional memory

The four 184-pin sockets on the mainboard support Double Data Rate

(DDR) Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM)-type

DIMMs. You may install 128-MB, 256-MB, 512-MB or 1-GB DIMMs for a maximum memory capacity of 4 GB.

The DDR DIMMs should work under 2.5 volts. You can install PC2100/

DDR266, PC2700/DDR333, or PC3200/DDR400 modules in the DDR

DIMM sockets. Contact your dealer for qualified DIMM vendors.

Each DDR DIMM socket is independent from the other. This independence allows you to install DDR DIMMs with different capacities to form different configurations.

To remove a DDR DIMM

Note: The DDR DIMM has only one notch located on the center of the module.

1

Remove the side panel (see page 58).

2 Locate the DDR DIMM socket on the mainboard.



3 Press the holding clips on both sides of the DDR DIMM socket outward to release the DDR DIMM (a). Gently pull the DDR DIMM out of the socket (b).

To install a DDR DIMM

1 Locate the DDR DIMM socket on the mainboard.

2 Align the DDR DIMM with the socket (a). Press the DDR DIMM into the socket until the clips lock onto the DDR DIMM (b).

Note: The DDR DIMM sockets are slotted to ensure proper installation. If you insert a DDR DIMM but it does not fit easily into the socket, you may have inserted it incorrectly. Turn the DDR

DIMM around and try to insert it again.


69

To reconfigure your computer

Your computer automatically detects the amount of memory installed.

Run the BIOS utility to view the new value for total system memory and make a note of it.
