The hard disk drive reads and writes data at a fast speed and saves large amount of data. As both the disk and the disk drive are installed in the hard disk, the "hard disk" and the "hard disk drive"

are used as the same terms. After installing a new hard disk, set up the system and for-

mat the hard disk while referring to the "System Setup" part Upon Data Damage in Hard Disk. A hard disk is sensitive to the external environments and shocks. The manufacturer is not responsible for data loss or damage of the hard disk caused by errors. Therefore, it is recommended to back up important data Notes on Removal or Separation of the Computer

Before removing or installing a computer, turn off the computer and correctly connect cables. In the case where cables are incorrectly linked, the hard disk may get damaged.

When installing a hard disk, use designated nuts only. Otherwise, defects may occur on the hard disk. If you uses thicker nuts than standard ones, critical damage may be done to electronic parts.

For stable use of the hard disk, fix the hard disk in the main body of the computer without any gap or vibration. Notes on Operating Environment of the Computer

The hard disk may get damaged by external shocks during transportation.

Avoid direct sunlight and damp place because the hard disk is sensitive to high temperature and humidity.

Cover the hard disk with a static electricity-resistant envelope.

Put the hard disk away from appliances with strong magnets such as TV and stereo set.

The hard disk can get damaged by an electric shock from lightning. It is recommended, therefore, not to use the computer during thunder and lightening, and disconnect the power cord when not using the computer. Notes on Operation of the Computer

Shocks on the hard disk during transportation may cause file damage or bad sectors.

When the computer is abruptly reset (rebooted) due to power failure, the hard disk may get damaged.

The hard disk may get damaged when infected with computer viruses.

BIO setup with wrong hard disk parameter values may damage the hard disk.

If necessary files are deleted by your mistake, the computer may not properly function.

Abrupt turning-off of the computer can damage the computer. Using the system 39 Disk Defragmenter The disk defragmenter will collect fragmented volumes so that the computer can operate effi-

ciently and fast. Finish other application programs before running the Disk Defragmenter.

Note the following when opening the computer cover.

Quit all programs in use.

Turn off the computer and the monitor before disconnecting the power.

Keep magnetic tools (for example, drivers) away from the computer since parts inside the computer are electrically charged and sensitive to magnetic force.

Install the computer in a clean, easily-accessible place.

A small electric shock inside the computer may cause operational problems. Before touching the computer, put hands on an unpainted metallic surface for two or three seconds to remove static electricity before opening the cover.

When disassembling the computer, wear gloves to protect internal parts of the computer and slot cards from damage. Opening the computer cover Closing the computer cover

Loosen three screws on the computer cover, and pull the cover off. Adjust the computer cover to the main body, and fasten three screws through the cover. Before assembling the computer cover, check if there is any metallic material left inside the main body. A metallic substance inside the main body can cause an electric shock or fire. 64 System Expansion 6-2. Main Board The model name of the computer depends on the main board type. When extend-

Expanding the Computer Memory You may expand the memory capacity, if needs be. About Memory This system uses a 240-pin memory module called Double Data Rate-2 (DDR-2), not the old 184-pin memory module called Double Data Rate (DDR). The main board can support maximum 2GB in memory. Note

Windows 95, 98SE, and ME support maximum 512MB. Installing a memory with higher capacity than 512MB may cause malfunctioning of the system. Before Expanding the Memory

When disassembling the computer, wear gloves to protect internal parts of the computer and slot cards from damage.

As the memory is sensitive to static electricity, be careful with the static electrici-

ty when removing or installing a memory.

Check the specifications of the current memory and the new memory before expanding the memory.

Unlike SIMM, DIMM is of 64 bits. Therefore, single DIMM can function, and you can add DIMM by one. Note

When expanding the memory, add a memory with the same specification (DDR-2 SDRAM for 1.8V). (The shape of the memory may differ depending on the product model.)

The DDR-2 memory provides greatly improved transmission rate than existing memo-

ries, and is differently shaped.

This computer supports PC3200/4300, DDR-2 specification.

When expanding the memory, use only unbuffered DDR SDRAM DMM
