1-2. Checking the AC supply voltage and precautions

Use a AC voltmeter or other instrument to check that the supply voltage at

the installation location is inside the following range:

)120 V ±10 %

1-3. Cable connection precautions (rear panel)

Bear in mind the points listed below when connecting the accessory cables to

the unit’s rear panel. It is recommended that you proceed while referring to

the rear panel connection diagram in the Operating Instructions. (Refer to

page 12 of Operating Instructions.)

)Connect the keyboard.

)Check the names of the connectors on the rear panel to verify that

the keyboard has not been connected to the mouse connector or the

mouse has not been connected to the keyboard connector.

)Connect the power cord to the socket on the main unit.

)Secure the power cord using the clamp.

)Refrain from connecting the power plug to the power outlet at this

stage.

Note:

Not only may the unit fail to operate properly if it has been started up with

a supply voltage outside the above range but the software programs and

data pre-installed on the system hard disk inside the unit may be

destroyed as well.

Use of an uninterruptible power supply system is recommended if the unit

is to be used in unsatisfactory power supply conditions. For details,

consult with your dealer.

1-4. Connecting the peripheral devices and layout precautions

Bear in mind the points listed below when connecting the computer monitor,

monitor (Video) for monitoring the pictures and other peripheral devices to

the unit. It is recommended that you proceed while referring to the rear panel

connection diagrams in the Operating Instructions. (Refer to pages 13–16 of

Operating Instructions.)

For details on the handling of peripheral devices, refer to the operating

instructions accompanying each device concerned.

)Connect the peripheral devices while power to the unit and peripheral

devices is off.

)Before moving the unit, turn its power off.

Do not move the unit while the power is still on.

)Install the unit in a flat and stable location.

)At the installation stage, ensure that the connectors and cables

protruding from the unit’s rear panel do not make contact with any

objects in the vicinity.

)At the installation stage, do not drop the keyboard or mouse, and

take care not to run their cables underneath the unit or peripheral

devices.

)Do not place objects on top of the unit.

)Leave a sufficient clearance around the unit in order to improve the

ventilation inside the unit.

)Do not place food or drinks in the vicinity of the unit.

Morsels of food or spilled drinks can cause trouble.

between the unit and monitor (Video) for monitoring the pictures.

)Check that you have not forgotten to connect the unit and any other

peripheral devices.

)Check that all the devices required have been connected, and insert

the power plugs of the unit and peripheral devices into the power

outlets.

)When the SCSI hard disk drive for external expansion purposes is to

be connected:

Attach one of the ferrite cores packed with the unit to one end of the

SCSI I/F cable and the attach the other one to the other end.

This chapter explains the checks that must be conducted on the basic hardware settings and

basic inspections of the AV disks after the unit’s power switch has been set to the ON

position.

When conducting the checks and inspections described in this chapter, do not turn off the

power or reset the system unnecessarily. Doing so may change or destroy the pre-installed

software programs or data.

For details on turning off the power and resetting the system, refer to the

descriptions given for the items concerned.

2-3. AV disk inspections . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12

2-1. Checking the power startup

When the unit’s power switch is set to ON, the unit’s basic test is

automatically conducted, and its results can be checked out by beep tones

and displays which appear on the computer monitor.

After the power switches of the computer monitor, monitor (Video) for

monitoring the pictures and other peripheral devices have been set to ON,

set the unit’s power switch to ON and conduct the checks described below at

startup.

If trouble has been detected as a result of conducting the checks, refer to the

“Troubleshooting” section in the Operating Instructions. (Refer to pages

20–27 of the Operating Instructions.)

Since it takes very little time to check the displays on the computer monitor,

you will find it easier to perform the checks if you quickly glance through the

whole of this section and the BIOS screen displays in Appendix A (pages

34–38) and understand what is involved.

For details on how to adjust the monitor and otherwise handle any of the

peripheral devices, refer to the operating instructions accompanying each

device concerned.

Chapter 2Power startup checks and AV disk inspections

Note:

If a monitor display which should have been checked during startup has

been overlooked, the unit must be rebooted so that it can be checked.

Under no circumstances must the power be turned off or the system

reset while white characters appear on a blue background during

startup.

Wait until the Windows NT flag appears, and then reboot the unit using

the system reset switch on the unit’s front panel.

– 9 –

Checking the LEDs on the unit’s front panel

)Check that the two disk access lamps light up and flash when the

power is turned on.

Checking the computer monitor displays (BIOS start screen) during

startup

)Is the memory size value (standard 256 MB) correct?

)Did the CD-ROM drive name appear (for an instant)?

)Did the name of the system hard drive appear?

(Refer to the BIOS screen displays in Appendix A.)

)Did the SCSI card name appear?

(Refer to the BIOS screen displays in Appendix A.)

)Did all the SCSI disk names appear?

(Refer to the BIOS screen displays in Appendix A.)

)Did the PCI device list appear?

(Refer to the BIOS screen displays in Appendix A.)

<Check>

2-2. Checking the SCSI device settings

In this section the SCSI-BIOS Tool is used to check the SCSI device settings.

You will find it easier to perform the checks if, before starting the actual

procedure, you quickly glance through SCSI-BIOS Tool items B-1–B-3

(pages 39–43) in Appendix B and understand how the settings of the parts

corresponding to the items to be checked in this section are displayed.

In particular, the following parts in B-3 must be understood.

(1) SCSI device configuration check

(2) SCSI ID check

If items with different settings have been detected as a result of conducting

the checks, refer to the explanation given in

¬When the SCSI device parameters are wrong¬

which is found in B-3 of Appendix B, and to the “Troubleshooting” section in

the Operating Instructions. (Refer to pages 20–27 of Operating Instructions.)

When the checks in this section have been completed with no errors found,

proceed to the next section [2-3. AV disk inspections] without exiting the

SCSI-BIOS Tool.

1. After the series of checks described in Section 2-1 (Checking the power

startup) have been completed with no errors found, reboot the unit and

check the SCSI device settings.

Note:

If, upon completion of the checks in the previous section, the screen

displays during the startup procedure have reached the white characters

on a blue background status, do not turn off the power or reset the

system until the display status changes.

If either step is to be performed, wait until the Windows flag appears on

the screen, and then reboot the unit using the reset switch.

2. Check the SCSI device settings following the instructions in “(1) SCSI

device configuration check” and “(2) SCSI ID check” in B-3 (pages 40,

41) of Appendix B (SCSI-BIOS Tool).
