Conserving Disk Space

Although infection from a computer virus is rare, you should be aware that the
iPower system is a PC-based product and is therefore susceptible to virus infection.
To ensure the security of your system, take these precautions:
Make sure that all accounts use effective passwords, especially accounts with
administrative privileges.
Install, update, and use anti-virus software.
Install the latest security updates for Windows and for any applications you
install.
Activate auditing for Windows events and monitor the audit log.
Restrict anonymous logins.
Conduct periodic reviews of your system. The Microsoft Personal Security
Advisor (available free at
), can assist you in this review.

Check with your network administrator for security procedures.
The iPower 900 system version 3.0.0 or higher and all versions of the iPower 9000
and iPower 600 system use the multi-language version of Windows 2000. When
you download language-specific Microsoft patches, always use the
English-language version even if you run your system in another language.
You should conserve space on the iPower hard drive by periodically checking for
and eliminating unwanted files or applications. This is particularly important if
many users access the system.
On the iPower 9000 and iPower 900, users install their own applications, such as
