Page 7: Setting Up Your Omnino Hs
2. Setting up your Omnino HS Detailed in this chapter is comprehensive information on how to unbox, assemble and use your Omnino HS system. The basic system consists of three main components, the input devices (keyboard/mouse), output devices (monitor/ speakers) and the main system unit (also called the base unit). Examples are shown below. - Page 8 There should be two boxes that form your Viglen PC - a ‘System Unit Box’ and sometimes an ‘Accessories Box’. Carefully unpack these boxes, and remove the contents. Note: DO NOT rest the unit on its screen. Please Note: It is important that you keep the packaging in case you have to return the unit at a later date.
- Page 9 Located underneath the rear of the base unit is an 'I/O Panel'. This is where you connect the peripheral devices that come with your Omnino HS. If your system has an ‘on-board’ sound card, the audio ports will be accessible. If these ports are covered, your system either has an 'add-in' sound card - or no audio available.
