Initial System Startup
Depending on the model of the DIGITAL PC and business location, the computer
may have various combinations of operating system languages and system software
pre-installed on the hard disk drive. The first time that the computer is turned on, run
Windows Setup. You will be prompted to make some important selections and input
various user registration information. After these steps you will not see the questions
again unless you reload the system software from the supplied operating system and
system software CDs.
NOTE:
The first time the computer is turned on, have the supplied
Microsoft Windows software kit available to enter the unique
Certificate of Authenticity (COA) number when prompted.
Configuring System Parameters
Although the computer is ready to operate, you may need to change the video
configuration or configure a network. You may also want to add some additional
hardware. The available software can help you with these tasks as explained in the
following sections.
Configuring Video
The DIGITAL PC supports Display Data Channel (DDC 1/2b) specifications. DDC
technology offers true auto-configuration by providing a direct communications link
between the monitor, onboard video circuitry, and the operating system. Full DDC
capability requires DDC support by all computer components. DDC will automatically
set the video parameters for optimum monitor resolution. If the monitor does not
include DDC support, then you may need to change the default video settings.
