chapter 1 P RODUCT D ESCRIPTION 1.1 Computer Features and Models The Compaq Armada E700 Series of Personal Computers offers advanced modularity, an Intel Pentium II processor with 64-bit architecture, an industry-leading Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) implementation, and extensive multimedia support. The computer provides desktop functionality and connectivity through the optional Compaq expansion base and compaq convenience base. Figure 1-1.
Models The Armada E700 models are shown in Table 1-1. The computer model designation is composed of a group of characters that define each model’s features. Table 1-1 Models and Model Naming Convention Compaq Armada E700 Series of Personal Computers Key 7 0 0 6 400 T14 14.
Features The computer has the following standard features: ■ Intel Mobile 400-MHz Pentium II processor with 64-bit architecture, MMX technology, and 512-Kbyte, level-2 cache memory ■ Industry-leading portable computer AGP implementation, featuring: - 66-MHz dedicated graphics bus - frame made AGP ■ 4-MB SGRAM (synchronous graphics) ■ 128-MB of SDRAM (synchronous) on system board; expandable to 384 MB ■ Upgradable flash ROM BIOS ■ 14.
Intelligent Manageability Intelligent Manageability consists of preinstalled software tools for the computer and Compaq servers that assist in tracking, troubleshooting, protecting, and maintaining the computer. It provides the following functions: ■ Asset Management—provides detailed configuration and diagnostic information. ■ Fault Management—prevents, predicts, and alerts of impending hardware problems. ■ Security Management—protects unauthorized access to data and components.
■ Inventory information—The network administrator can retrieve information about the computer over the network by using Compaq Insight Manager or any PC management tool provided by Compaq Solution Partners.
Fault Management Alerts Alerts can be enabled, disabled, and tested, and software can be set to back up information whenever a hard drive alert occurs. ■ While the computer is connected to a network, alerts pop up on the computer display and are simultaneously reported to the network console. ■ System temperature alert—reports overheating. As the system temperature rises, this feature first adjusts fan speed and other cooling components, then displays an alert, then shuts down the system.
Configuration Management Configuration Management optimizes software upgrade and customer support procedures. Compaq provides support software to optimize the performance of the computer. This support software is accessible through a monthly CD-ROM subscription. Support software can also be downloaded from the Compaq Web site at www.compaq.com/support/ portables.
1.2 Computer Components System Memory Options The main memory subsystem supports a minimum standard 128 MB of Synchronous SDRAM, expandable to 384 MB. The minimum standard Synchronous SDRAM is integrated on the system board. The upgrade SDRAM is accomplished with memory expansion boards that are available in 32-, 64-, and 128-MB. The memory expansion slot cover is secured to the computer by a slotted Torx T-8 screw.

chapter 2 T ROUBLESHOOTING Follow these basic steps when beginning the troubleshooting process: 1. 2. 3. 4. Complete the preliminary steps listed in Section 2.1. Run the Power-On Self-Test (POST) as described in Section 2.3. Run Computer Setup as described in Section 2.5. If you are unable to run POST or if the problem persists after running POST, perform the recommended actions described in the diagnostic tables in Section 2.5.
2.1 Preliminary Steps IMPORTANT: Use AC power when running POST or Computer Setup. A low battery condition could initiate Hibernation and interrupt the test. Before running POST, complete the following steps: 1. Obtain established passwords. If you must clear the passwords, go to Section 2.2. 2. Ensure that the hard drive is installed in the computer. 3. Ensure that the battery pack is installed in the computer and the power cord is connected to the computer and plugged into an AC power source. 4.
2.2 Clearing Passwords 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Turn off the computer. Disconnect the AC Adapter (refer to Section 5.3). Remove the battery pack (Section 5.6). Disconnect and remove the Real Time Clock (RTC) battery (Section 5.11). Wait five minutes. Reconnect the RTC battery. Install the keyboard deck and keyboard assembly. Reconnect the AC Adapter. Do not reinstall the battery pack yet. Turn on the computer. NOTE: Remember to set the date and time the next time the computer is turned on. 2.
2.4 POST Error Messages If the system is not functioning well enough to run POST, or if the display is not functioning well enough to show POST error messages, refer to the Troubleshooting tables in Section 2.6. If POST detects an error, one of the following events occurs: ■ A message with the prefix "WARNING" appears, informing you where the error occurred. The system pauses until you press F1 to continue. ■ A message with the prefix "FATAL" appears, informing you where the error occurred.

Selecting Computer Setup or Compaq Diagnostics for Windows The computer features two system management utilities: ■ Computer Setup is a system information and configuration utility that can be used even when your operating system is not working or will not load. It includes custom settings that are not available in Windows. To configure a device in Windows NT 4.0, you must use Computer Setup.
File Menu Begin here System information To do this ■ View identification information about the computer, docking base, and battery packs. ■ View specification information about the processor, memory and cache size, and ROM date and family. Save to floppy Restore from floppy Restore defaults Ignore changes and exit Save changes and exit Save system configuration to a diskette. Restore system configuration from a diskette.
Advanced Menu Begin here To do this Language (or press F2) Boot Options Change the Computer Setup language. Enable/disable n QuickBoot, which starts the computer more quickly by eliminating some startup tests. (If you suspect a memory failure and want to test memory automatically during startup, you may want to disable QuickBoot.) n MultiBoot, which enables you to set a startup sequence that can include any drives in the system. Device Options ■ Enable/disable the embedded numeric keypad at startup.
Removing a Hard Drive from the MultiBay Before removing a hard drive, back up all information on the hard drive. 1. Save all work, exit all applications, and shut down the computer. 2.
