When to
Reconfigure the
Computer
in Windows 3.1
Removing the
Computer Cover
System configuration is the process of specifying the devices
and programs that make up a computer system. When you add
or remove optional equipment, you must reconfigure the
computer to recognize these changes. For example, if you add
a drive or expansion board to the computer, you must run the
Computer Setup utility to ensure that the computer recognizes
that the new drive or board has been installed.
If you add a board or other option, run the Computer Setup utility
after you complete the installation.
If configuration settings are incorrect, one or more devices may
not work properly, and you may receive an error message. If
this occurs, run the Computer Setup utility again. Refer to
Chapter 3, "Using Compaq Utilities," for more information.
To install optional equipment, you must remove the computer
cover to gain access to the drive bays or expansion slots you
want to use.
CAUTION:
Before removing the computer cover, ensure that the
computer is turned off and that the power cord is disconnected
from the electrical outlet.
To remove the computer cover, complete the following steps:
1. Turn off the computer and any external devices.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and any
external devices from the computer.
3. Remove the two thumbscrews on the rear panel of the
desktop computer. Use a coin to loosen them if they're too
tight to loosen by hand.
