Preparation for use and operation Indicators and switches Indicators and switches 3 1 4 2 5 1 = CD-ROM indicator 2 = Floppy disk indicator 3 = Hard disk indicator 4 = Power-on indicator 5 = ON/OFF switch 1 - CD-ROM indicator The indicator lights up when the CD-ROM drive of the system unit is accessed. You may only remove the CD when the indicator is dark. 2 - Floppy disk indicator The indicator lights up when the floppy disk drive of the system unit is accessed.
Indicators and switches Preparation for use and operation Switching on the PC for the first time When you switch on your PC for the first time the supplied software is set up and configured. ² ² Switch your monitor on. Switch the system unit on with the ON/OFF switch. The power-on indicator lights green and the PC is started. ² Adjust the brightness if necessary (see the Operating Manual for the monitor).
Preparation for use and operation Indicators and switches Switching on the PC ! ² ² If after switching on the PC you see nothing but flickering stripes on the screen, switch the PC off immediately (see "Troubleshooting and tips" - "Flickering or drifting stripes on the monitor screen"). Switch the monitor on (see the Operating Manual for the monitor). Switch the system unit on with the ON/OFF switch. The power-on indicator lights green and the PC is started.
Working with floppy disks Preparation for use and operation Working with floppy disks ! Follow the instructions supplied by the vendor of the floppy disks. Never clean the floppy disk drives with cleaning disks. Even just one attempt would destroy the read/write head in the disk drive within 20 seconds.
Preparation for use and operation Keyboard Keyboard 1 2 1 = function keys 2 = alphanumeric keypad 3 4 3 = cursor control keys 4 = numeric keypad (calculator keypad) Important keys and key combinations The following description of keys and key combinations refers to MS Windows.

Settings in BIOS Setup Num Ctrl Ctrl Preparation for use and operation Num Lock key by pressing the Num Lock key you switch between the upper- and lower-case levels of the calculator keypad. At upper-case level (Num Lock indicator lit) the digit and comma keys are active. At lower-case level (Num Lock indicator not lit) the cursor control functions are active in the calculator keypad. Ctrl key starts key combination actions. Alt Del Warm boot restarts your PC.
Troubleshooting and tips ! Take note of the safety hints in the manual "Safety and Ergonomics" and in the chapter "Preparation for use and operation", when you connect or disconnect cables. If a fault occurs, try to correct it as described: • in this chapter • in the documentation of the connected devices • in the help systems of the software used. If you fail to correct the problem, proceed as follows: ² ² ² Switch the PC off. Make a note of the steps and the circumstances that led to the fault.
Troubleshooting and tips The screen stays blank If your screen remains blank this may have the following causes: Monitor is switched off ² Switch your monitor on. Screen has been blanked ² Press any key on the keyboard. or ² Deactivate screen blanking (screen saver). Enter the appropriate password. Brightness control is set to dark ² Set the brightness control to light. For detailed information, please refer to the Operating Manual supplied with your monitor.
Troubleshooting and tips Flickering or drifting stripes on the monitor screen ! Switch off the PC immediately! The flickering stripes are caused either by an old-type screen that does not support the horizontal frequency of 47 kHz, or by an incorrect monitor selection under MS-Windows. The drifting screen display is caused when the selected frequency and/or resolution is wrong. The default screen values are 800x600 pixels at 75 Hz and for 64K colors.
Troubleshooting and tips Time and/or date is not correct ² Set the time and/or date. You can set the time and date in the BIOS Setup or in the operating system. i If the time and date are repeatedly wrong when you switch on your PC, the battery is flat.
