You may need to use the main power button to turn off the power, for example if the operating system you are using does not support power down by the OS or if the system crashes or hangs.
This chapter describes how to upgrade components for the PT-5700. The following topics are described. • “Safety and precautions” • “Before you begin” on page 14 • “Installing a hard disk drive (HDD)” on page 14 • “Installing a CompactFlash card” on page 15 Safety and precautions Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of static electricity.
To prevent scratching the case of the PT-5700, make sure the worktop surface is clean and flat. CAUTION Installing a hard disk drive (HDD) Refer to the following to install a HDD.
The CompactFlash card reader uses an IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) interface and only supports storage cards. Plug and play is not supported so cards have to be installed before you turn the PT-5700 on. After installing a Compact- Flash card, replace the cover to prevent the card being accidently removed while power is on.
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup Utility displays the system's configuration status and provides options to set system parameters. The parameters are stored in battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that saves this informa- tion even when the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system is configured with the values found in CMOS.The following topics are described in this chapter.
Entering the Setup Utility When you power on the system, BIOS enters the Power-On Self Test (POST) routines. POST is a series of built-in diagnostics performed by the BIOS. After the POST routines are completed, the following message appears: Press the delete key <Delete> to access the Award BIOS Setup Utility: Figure 3.1 Main BIOS menu BIOS navigation keys...
