Turning Off Your Computer
To exit Windows and automatically turn off the computer, click Start, then click Shut Down. In Windows NT Workstation 4.0, the power button always functions as an on/off switch. In Windows 95, however, pressing the power button does not turn off power altogether, but instead causes the computer to enter a low-power standby. This allows you to quickly power down without closing applications and to quickly return to the same operational state without any data loss. If you want to turn off power altogether, hold the power button in for four seconds or more. To reconfigure the power button to work as an instant on/off switch instead, run Computer Setup. (See the Software Reference Guide for instructions.)
U SING N ETWORK C OMMUNICATIONS
Access to a computer network immediately increases your productivity potential. Your computer is network ready, which means it has an embedded network controller and preinstalled network device drivers. Once the network connection is active, you can share resources such as a printer, exchange information from computer to computer, and run common software programs. The computer is configured, by default, with the following boot order: 1 CD-ROM Drive: Allows the computer to boot from the CD-ROM drive, if present. 2 Diskette Drive: On models with a diskette drive, allows the computer to boot from this drive. On models without a diskette drive, allows the computer to share a diskette drive installed in a second computer connected through a serial cable. If there is no second computer connected, the computer will boot from the internal hard drive.

The second computer must have optional FDS software
installed in order to establish a serial connection and enable the computer to use the diskette drive. 3 Hard drive: Allows the computer to boot from the internal hard drive. If the internal hard drive does not have operating system software installed on it, the computer will attempt to boot from the network.
To bypass the removable media drives and boot directly
from the network, turn on or restart the computer. When the F12=Network Service Boot message appears, press F12. 4 Network: Allows the computer to boot from a server running a supported PC LAN management tool in order to set up a new hard drive, reinstall operating system software, or reset the default configuration.
Guide to Features & Upgrades 2-1
Writer: Elizabeth Hedstrom/Kristie Roberts Saved By: Lydia Sanchez Saved Date: 04/27/98 1:58 PM Pages: 5 Words: 1015 Template: c:\template\commercial\comm.dot File Name Ch2.doc Part Number 314127-001
To alter the boot order, run Computer Setup. See the
Software Reference Guide for instructions. The Integrated Compaq 10/100 TX NIC Intel WOL UTP PCI Controller automatically senses the data throughput speed of the network, 10Base-T or 100Base-TX, and configures itself appropriately.
100 Base-TX operation requires the use of a Category 5
UTP cable with an RJ-45 network connection. The controller also supports Remote Wakeup and Remote ROM Flash. These features allow the system administrator to power on a client computer, or to safely upgrade a client computers Read Only Memory (ROM), from a remote location through the use of supported PC LAN management tools.
For more information on Remote Wakeup and Remote
ROM Flash, refer to the Software Reference Guide or to the online Remote Management Guide. The Remote Management Administrators Guide is included with the Remote Management Administration Tools, and is available on the Support Software CD for Compaq Desktop, Portable, and Workstation Products or at the Compaq Web Site at www.compaq.com.
Using Network Communications
Writer: Elizabeth Hedstrom/Kristie Roberts Saved by: Lydia Sanchez Saved date: 04/27/98 1:58 PM Pages: 5 Words: 1015 Template: c:\template\commercial\comm.dot File Name Ch2.doc Part Number 314127-001
Connecting to an Ethernet Network
An RJ-45 (8-pin) Ethernet connector is built into the computer on the rear panel. To connect to an Ethernet network: 1. Using the network cable appropriate for your network, connect one end of the network cable to the Ethernet RJ-45 Connector 1 on your computer. 2. Ensure that both connections are secure. The following illustration shows the Ethernet RJ-45 activity lights 2. The yellow light blinks when linking to the network; the green light blinks during network activity.

Network Connections and Status Lights
Interpreting the Network Status Lights
The rear panel has two network status lights for the RJ-45 connector. The yellow link light will illuminate when the network driver is properly configured and the system is physically connected to an active network. The green activity light illuminates when the computer detects network activity. When the system is connected to a highly used network, the green activity light will remain on almost constantly. If Remote Wakeup is enabled, the link and activity lights will remain functional even when power to the computer is turned off, as long as the computers power cord is still connected to a power outlet.
Disabling the Autosensing Capabilities
Your computer automatically senses whether the attached network supports 10 Mbs or 100 Mbs and configures itself accordingly. This process of determining the maximum network operating speed is known as autosensing. The computer begins autosensing whenever it loses a valid network link, for example, if the cable is disconnected. In addition to determining the network operating speed, the computer determines if full-duplex is supported. Full-duplex systems can transmit and receive information on the network simultaneously. Half-duplex systems cannot transmit and receive simultaneously. The different modes of operation are:
100Base-TX, full-duplex 100Base-TX, half-duplex 10Base-T, full-duplex 10Base-T, half-duplex
If necessary, you can disable the autosensing capabilities and force the system into a different operating mode. To set the network operating mode manually: 1. Click on the Network icon, located in the Control Panel. 2. Click on the Integrated Compaq 10/100 TX NIC Intel WOL UTP PCI Controller. 3. Select the Advanced Properties tab.
4. Select Media Speed and change the value from AUTO to 10 Mbs or 100 Mbs, depending on the capabilities of your network. 5. Select Duplex Settings and change the value from AUTO to Full or Half, depending on the capabilities of your network. 6. Exit the Network control application. You will be prompted to restart your computer in order for the changes to take effect.
Installing the Network Drivers
The device drivers in the network software enable the computer to communicate with the network.
Device drivers are supplied for Windows 95 and
Windows NT Workstation 4.0. If you are using another operating system, device drivers may be installed from files included with the network operating system or device driver files available from Compaq. Updated device drivers may also be downloaded from the Compaq Web Site, www.compaq.com. If reinstallation of the device drivers on Small Form Factor models ever becomes necessary, use your backup diskettes or the Compaq Restore CD. If you did not create backup diskettes, then order these diskettes from Compaq, using the information in the Software Reference Guide. Use network management tools to reinstall device drivers on Net PC models. Complete instructions for installing the network device drivers are available in the file C:\CPQNET\README.TXT.

to the equipment, do not plug telecommunications/telephone connectors into the network interface controller (NIC) receptacles.
CAUTION: Before servicing the computer, be sure that no green lights are illuminated on the system board. CAUTION: When the unit is plugged in, the power supply always has 5 V applied to the system board even when the unit is turned off. Failure to disconnect the power cord can result in damage to the system. CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional equipment. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object.

Master/Slave operation The DTLA-3xxxxx product family has been tested to the limits of the ATA/ATAPI-5 specification Master/Slave timings in both Master and Slave configurations to ensure compliance and correct functionality with all other ATA/ATAPI-5 compliant devices. Hard disk drive management utilities The following third-party utilities have been tested with the DTLA-3xxxxx product family: Norton Utilities Ghost Partition Magic (Symantec) (Symantec) (Power Quest) PII (note 4) PIII Xeon PIII AMD-K6-2 PII-333 AMD-K7 PII - 300 PIII - 500 PII-450 Dual P6-200 PIII PIII Celeron Celeron Intel PIII PIII Celeron PIII (note 5) Cyrix-P200+ PII (note 6) CMD PCI-649 (ATA100) Highpoint HPT 377 (ATA100) Promise Ultra33 ATA Accelerator (note 7) Promise Ultra66 ATA Accelerator (note 7) Promise Ultra100 ATA (note 8) Promise FastTrack100 (RAID) Operating systems Apple Mac OS 8.6 & 9.0 Linux (Redhat 6.1 & 6.2 / SuSe 6.1 / Corel) MS DOS 6.22 MS DOS 6.3 PC DOS 7.0 PC DOS2000 SCO Unixware v7.1.1 Windows 95 (OSR2.1 & OSR2.5) Windows 98 & Windows 98 SE Windows NT 4.0 (with SP5 / SP6a) Windows 2000 (note 2) IDE add-on controllers AMI Apple Award (note 1) Compaq HP (AMI) HP (Phoenix) Phoenix Surepath

5) At the time of testing correct UDMA/33 operation could only be achieved under Windows by using a thirdparty driver rather than the drivers provided by MSI. 6) To use the 3Ware Disk Switch in this system the operating system must first be installed using the on- board ATA interface. The 3Ware Driver can then be added and the hard drive moved to the 3Ware interface. 7) Power management features provided by the operating system do not extend to drives attached to the Promise card. 8) Write performance may be impacted unless this controller is used in an ATA/66 capable system. 9) The AMD driver incorrectly responds to the UDMA mode 5 capability posted by the DTLA-3xxxxx. Performance is therefore limited to UDMA mode 0 when attached to this chipset. AMD is working on a new driver to resolve and provide correct UDMA mode 4 operation.
Third party certification Microsoft Combined Logo/PC98/PC99 Compliance Certification is in progress. The Submission IDs are listed below: Deskstar 40GV: Submission ID: 27044/27603 Deskstar 75GXP: Submission ID: 27044/27603 Third party evaluations The following companies have evaluated the DTLA-3xxxxx product family for compatibility with their products: Adaptec AMD AMI CMD Technology Inc High Point Technologies Inc Intel Corp IWill Corp Linux SUSE Micron Electronics Microsoft Novell OnTrack Data Inetrnational Inc Pacific Digital Corp Phoenix Technologies LTD Promise Technology SIIG StorageSoft Tyan Computer Unicore Software Notes: 1) At the time of testing older releases of Award BIOS do not support hard drives with capacity greater than 33.8 GB. A common symptom is a hang condition during System Post. Installing drives of more than 32 GB requires use of a third-party utility. See the section titled Drive Capacity. 2) Windows 2000 setup does not allow a FAT32 file system larger than 32 GB. With drives larger than 32 GB multiple partitions will be required. Alternatively, the NTFS file system can be used. 3) Enabling UDMA operation with these boards can cause a malfunction. See the Deskstar 40GV & 75GXP Hints & Tips for specific instructions to solve this problem. 4) To use the Promise ATA Accelerator in this system the operating system must first be installed using the on-board ATA interface. The Promise Driver can then be added and the hard drive can be moved to the Promise interface.
