6DIHW\ ,QVWUXFWLRQV Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer system from potential damage and to ensure your own personal safety. :KHQ 8VLQJ
Do not spill food or liquids on your computer. If the computer gets wet, consult your Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide. Do not push any objects into the openings of your computer. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components. Keep your computer away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your computer; do not place your computer in a closed-in wall unit or on a bed, sofa, or rug.

In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate: When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins.

For example, you may have a memory expansion card that needs to be addressed starting at 15 MB. Selecting the 15M – 16M option in the Reserved Memory option specifies that the base memory from 15 to 16 MB come from the memory expansion card (the base memory below the 15-MB address comes from the dual in-line memory modules [DIMMs] on the system board).

As part of the boot routine, the system first checks for a primary hard-disk drive controller card installed in an expansion slot. If no card is found, the system enables the built-in EIDE interface to use IRQ14 and IRQ15. If a primary controller is detected on the expansion bus, the built-in EIDE interface is disabled.

3RZHU 0DQDJHPHQW For certain types of monitors and most EIDE hard-disk drives, you can reduce system power consumption by enabling the power management feature. With Power Management enabled, these monitors and drives automatically switch into low-power mode during periods of system inactivity. Power Management can be implemented at three levels—Maximum, Regular, and Minimum. (The different levels apply to the monitor only; hard-disk drive operation is the same for all three.
NOTES: All EIDE drives shipped with your system support this feature. (For more information, see “ENERGY STAR Compliance” in Chapter 1.) However, not all EIDE hard-disk drives support this feature. Enabling this feature for drives that do not support it may cause the EIDE drive to become inoperable until the computer is restarted and the Power Management option is disabled. In low-power mode, the disks inside the drive stop spinning.

Most interface connectors are keyed for correct insertion; that is, a notch or a missing pin on one connector matches a tab or a filled-in hole on the other connector. Keying ensures that the pin-1 wire in the cable (indicated by the colored strip along one edge of the cable) goes to the pin-1 end of the connector. The pin-1 end of a card-edge connector is usually identified by a notch cut about a quarter of an inch from the end of the connector, as shown in Figure 7-5.
