Taking care of your CDs and DVDs
Keep your disk in its case when not in use to avoid scratches or other damage. Any kind of dirt or damage can affect the data on the disk, impair the disk lens reader on the CD or DVD drive, or stop the computer from successfully reading the disk. When handling disks, always hold them by the edges to avoid smudges or fingerprints. When cleaning disks, use a clean, dust-free cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center to the edge. Do not wipe in a circular motion. Clean your CD or DVD drive periodically. You may refer to the Cleaning Kit for instructions. Cleaning kits can be purchased in any computer or electronics shop.

Hard disk

Your computer is pre-installed with a high-capacity Enhanced-IDE (E-IDE) hard disk. For instructions on how to upgrade or replace your hard disk, see: "Replacing the Veriton 5800's hard disk" on page 58. "Replacing the Veriton 6800/7800's hard disk" on page 60.
This chapter contains step-by-step instructions on how to set up your computer and connect additional peripherals.
Working safely and comfortably begins with the arrangement of your work space and the proper use of equipment. For this reason, it is very important to take time and think about how you are going to arrange your work area. Refer to the diagram on the following page as you set up your system. Here are some points to consider:

Adjusting your chair

Having the right kind of chair does not necessarily mean you'll be properly supported. It is necessary to adjust your chair to fit your body. Proper body posture will make you more comfortable and productive. Avoid tilting your chair. If you have a chair that tilts, lock the tilt knobs so that your chair will not tilt forward or backward while you are using your computer. Adjust your chair height in such a way that you can sit on it with your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet resting flat on the floor. Rest your body on the chair back. Your torso works harder to maintain balance if you do not rest your body on the chair back.

Positioning your PC

Take note of the following when selecting a location for your computer: Do not put your computer near any equipment that might cause electromagnetic or radio frequency interference, such as radio transmitters, televisions, copy machines or heating and air-conditioning equipment. Avoid dusty areas and extremes of temperature and humidity. You may place your computer beside your desk or under your table, as long as it does not block the space you need for working and moving.

Connecting USB devices

Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus design capable of cascading peripherals such as a digital camera, keyboard, mouse, joystick, scanner, printer and modem. With USB, complex cable connections can be eliminated. Your computer comes with eight external USB ports: four on the front and four on the rear panel. These ports support USB 2.0 high-performance external devices such as webcams and digital still cameras. They also allow you to connect additional USB devices to your computer without using up its resources. To connect a USB device, simply plug the device cable into any of the USB ports (black) located on the front and rear panels of your computer.
Note: The USB devices shown below are for reference only. Actual device models may vary by geographic region.
Note: Some USB devices have a built-in USB port which permits you to connect more USB devices.

Dual Channel

VT x800 series support the Dual Channel Technology. After operating the dual channel technology, the bandwidth of memory bus will add double up to 4GB/s. The mainboard inculdes 4 DIMM slots, and each channel has two DIMM sockets as following: Channel A : DDR1, DDR3 Channel B : DDR2 , DDR4 If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations due to the limitation of Intel chipset specifications.
Memory Number Only one DDR memory module is installed ? Two DDR memory modules are installed ( the same memory size and type) ? Three DDR memory modules are installed ? Four DDR memory modules are installed ?
Description The Dual Channel Technology cant operate when only one DDR memory module is installed. The Dual Channel Technology will operate when two memory modules are inserted individually into Channel A and B. If you install two memory modules in the same channel, the Dual Channel Technology will not operate. Pleae note that the Dual Channel Technology will not operate when three DDR memory modules are installed; part of them will not be detected. If you install four memory modules at the same time, the Dual Channel Technology will operate only when those modules have the same size and type.
NOTE: We strongly recommend user to slot two DDR memory modules into the DIMMs with the same color in order for Dual Channel Technology to work. The following tables include all memory-installed combination types: Dual Channel Technology (DS: Double Side, SS: Single Side)

System Utilities
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) includes a CMOS SETUP utility which allows user to configure required setting or to active certain system features. The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the mainboard. When the power is turned off, the battery on the mainboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS SRAM. When the power is turned on, pushing the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) will take you to the CMOS SETUP screen. You can enter the BIOS setup screen by pressing Ctrl+F1. When setting up BIOS for the first time, it is recommended that you save the current BIOS to a disk in the event that BIOS needs to be reset to its original settings. Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily update or backup BIOS without entering the operating system. BIOS is a Window s-based utility that doesnt required users to boot to DOS before upgrading BIOS but directly download and update BIOS from the Internet.
