1-4. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Following messages are safety reminders on how to protect your systems from

damages. And thus, helps you lengthen the life cycle of the system.

1. Check the Line Voltage

a. The operating voltage for the power supply should cover the range of

115VAC-230VAC, otherwise the system may be damaged.

2. Environmental Conditions

a. Place your PS-8931 on a sturdy, level surface. Be sure to allow enough

room on each side to have easy access.

b. Avoid extremely hot or cold places to install your PS-8931 Book-sized

PC.

c. Avoid exposure to sunlight for a long period of time (for example in a

closed car in summer time. Also avoid the system from any heating

device.). Or do not use PS-8931 when it‘s been left outdoors in a cold

winter day.

d. Bear in mind that the operating ambient temperature is from 0°C up to

+40°C (32°F~104°F).

e. Avoid moving the system rapidly from a hot place to a cold place or vice

versa because condensation may come from inside of the system.

f. Place PS-8931 against strong vibrations, which may cause hard disk

failure.

g. Do not place the system too close to any radio active device. Radio-

active device may cause interference.

3. Handling

a. Avoid putting heavy objects on top of the system.

b. Do not turn the system upside down. This may cause the floppy drive

and hard drive to mal-function.

c. Do not remove the diskette from the Floppy drive while the light is still

on. If you remove the diskette while the light is on, you may damage

the information on the diskette.

d. Do not allow foreign objects to fall into this product.

e. If water or other liquid spills into this product, unplug the power cord

immediately.

4. Good Care

a. When the outside of the case is stained, remove the stain with neutral

washing agent with a dry cloth.

b. Never use strong agents such as benzene and thinner to clean the system.

c. If heavy stains are present, moisten a cloth with diluted neutral washing

agent or with alcohol and then wipe thoroughly with a dry cloth.

d. If dust has been accumulated on the outside, remove it by using a special

made vacuum cleaner for computers.

2-3. HOW TO SET THE JUMPERS

You can configure your board by setting jumpers. Jumper is consists of

two or three metal pins with a plastic base mounted on the card, and by

using a small plastic "cap", Also known as the jumper cap (with a metal

contact inside), you are able to connect the pins. So you can set-up your

hardware configuration by "open" or "close" pins.

The jumper can be combined into sets that called jumper blocks. When

the jumpers are all in the block, you have to put them together to set up

the hardware configuration. The figure below shows how this looks like.

JUMPERS AND CAPS

If a jumper has three pins (for examples, labelled PIN1, PIN2, and PIN3),

You can connect PIN1 & PIN2 to create one setting and shorting. You

can either connect PIN2 & PIN3 to create another setting. The same

jumper diagrams are applied all through this manual. The figure below

shows what the manual diagrams look and what they represent.
