Ergonomic Notice
Now that you have your Micron computer, you will probably spend many
hours exploring the capabilities of this machine, and personalizing it for your
use. But the computer is only part of the larger picture of ergonomics.
Ergonomics is a science that addresses human performance and well-being in
relation to various types of jobs, tools, equipment and environment.
As you begin to personalize your working environment, it is important to
keep in mind your body’s needs to make your computer time more productive
with less physical and mental stress. And an effective work area will begin
from the ground up. Here are some suggestions:
• Use an adjustable chair, and try different seated postures to find
what is most comfortable and produces the least fatigue. The
backrest should be adjustable to fit the small of your back.
• Use an adjustable keyboard support. You want to keep your
wrists straight, your hands lower than your forearms and your
forearms parallel to the floor. Use a light touch on the keyboard.
• Alternate mouse and keyboard use, and keep the mouse within
easy reach.
• Place the monitor 18-30 inches from your eyes (arm’s length is
also a good distance). The top of the monitor should be level
with your eyes.
• Take breaks from both the keyboard and looking at the monitor.
Performingsimple exercises while at your work area will increase
your productivity. Shrug your shoulders...take a deep
breath...change your focus...massage your hands...stretch....let
your arms fall relaxed at your sides.
No two work areas will ever be the same. Find the combinations that work for
you, and keep in mind that proper work area planning will make your
computer time more effective, and less stressful on your body.

Unpacking
Check the Packaging
As soon as the packages containing your new system arrive, carefully inspect
them for any signs of damage. In particular, look for wrinkled or bent corners,
holes, or other signs of bad handling or abuse. If you notice any damage to the
packaging, immediately open the boxes and inspect the contents for damage.
Pay close attention to the components near the area where the packing material
was damaged.
Unpack Your System
Caution: If your system arrives in cold weather, do not unpack the computer
or the monitor until they have been allowed to come to room temperature.
Immediately exposing them to the warm room may cause condensation to
occur, which may damage the units. If condensation does occur, allow the
units to completely dry before operating them.
Followthese steps after you have determined that the packagingis undamaged:
1. Taking care not to damage the packing material, carefully open
the cardboard box containing the computer and remove the
system unit, keyboard and any other accessories that you may
have ordered.
2. Carefully unpack the monitor and all accessories from the
monitor package. Be careful not to damage the packing material.
3. Inspect all items for damage that may have occurred during
shipment.
For your protection, report any damage to the shipper
immediately.
We highly recommend that you save the packaging in the event that you need
to move or ship the system some time in the future.
Check Your Packing List
Now that you have everything out of the packages, take the time to check the
packing list to be sure you received everything. If you discover that an item is
missing, call Micron Electronics, Inc. immediately to receive a replacement.
Refer to Appendix A for contact information.

Chapter 1: Setting Up Your System
Setup
Getting Started
Before your new system left the factory, Micron configured the hardware. The
display adapter was set to work with your monitor and the hard disk was
partitioned and formatted with DOS using the standard default settings for
your machine. Your computer system is ready to go. All you have to do is
plug it in.
What You Need
oA grounded power outlet
oPhillips-head screwdriver
oPower filter/suppressor protector (recommended)
Putting It All Together
To complete your setup, refer to the following steps:
1. Take a moment and review the case figures on the following
pagesto acquaint yourself with the frontandback of your system.
2. Check the voltage selector on the rear of the unit. Be sure it is
switched for the proper voltage (115V in the United States and
Canada).
3. Place the monitor where you wish, as long as its cable can still
reach the video connector at the rear of the computer.
4. Unpack the power cable for the computer and plug the
appropriate end into the power inlet at the back of the system.
Insert the other end into a grounded power outlet. We highly
recommend that you obtain a protection device such as an
uninterruptable power supply (UPS), power filter or surge
suppressor. In this way you will be providing the utmost
protection for your system and data.
5. Ensure that the system is turned OFF before proceeding.
Attaching peripherals while the power is on may damage the
unit or the peripheral.
6. Locate the monitor’s power cable and plug the appropriate end
into the monitor (if not already attached). Insert the other end
into the grounded outlet or protection device.

7. Find the video cable and attach the appropriate end into the
monitor (if not already attached) and attach the other end into
the video connector (located in one of the expansion slots at the
rear of the unit). If the connection is loose on either end, tighten
the integrated screws at both ends of the cable for a secure
connection. For more information about the setup, use, and
maintenance of your video monitor, please refer to the manual
that was supplied with it.
8. Insert the ends of the keyboard and mouse cables into the
keyboard and mouse connectors at the rear of the computer
system. Take care, for the connectors are keyed in such a way
that the plugs can only be inserted if oriented correctly. Refer to
the case drawings on the following pages for the location of the
proper connector. If it does not plug in easily, do not force it.
Your system should now be ready to use. You may have other devices or
peripherals to install, but it is best to ensure the basic system is operating
correctly before adding any options.

to the monitor’s manual for more information.
2. Remove any floppy disks from the floppy drive.
3. Power up the computer system by firmly pushing and releasing
the On/Off button on the front panel of the system. The power
indicatorshould light up and the fan and hard drive should begin
to run.
Thesystem diagnostics begins at this time. The keyboard is initialized indicated
by the keyboard LEDs blinking momentarily. The Num Lock LED remains
on. Next, the screen initializes and a message indicating what type of video

Micron recommends that you power down your system in the following order:
1. Exit all applications you are running and save any changes.
2. Make sure that ALL disk activity has completely stopped. The
floppy and hard drive indicator lights should be off and the
floppy drive motors should stop. Hard disks continue to spin
until the system power is shut off.
