Setting Up Your Computer
Assembling the computer can be as basic as unpacking the
system, then connecting the keyboard and mouse, a monitor,
and any peripheral devices you want to use (such as a printer) to
the system.
You can also add disk drives, add-in boards, an upgrade Intel
OverDrive microprocessor, system memory, or video memory
to your computer. See “Upgrading Your Computer” on page 18
for more information.
After you assemble or upgrade the computer, you may need to
configure it with the System Setup program. See “Configuring
Your Computer” on page 41 for more information.
Connecting a Monitor
You can connect a monitor to the 15-pin video port on the back
of the system. This makes use of the VGA built into the system.
The video port is compatible with the following types of
monitors:.
Super VGA color monitor with DPMS, such as the
ASTVision line of monitors. To conserve energy, the
computer can cause such a monitor to go into a low-
power state when the system is on but not in use. Many
other monitors do not support this feature. See “Using
Your Computer’s Power Management Features” on page
10 for information on power management.
VGA and Super VGA color, or compatible monitor
VGA monochrome monitor.
Multifrequency monitor.
Optionally, you can install an add-in video adapter. The
computer works with most ISA- and PCI-compatible video
adapters, including an EGA, VGA, or specialized video adapter.
See “Installing Add-in Boards” on page 21 for more information.
