System Setup

Use the following procedure to quickly set up the PowerMate eco™microdesktop system.

Note See the figures in the next section, “System Features,” to locate connectors and

controls.

1. Check that you have the following system components:



PowerMate eco microdesktop computer



USB keyboard



USB mouse



AC adapter and power cord.

2. Connect the keyboard and mouse:



Connect the USB mouse to one of the two USB ports on the bottom of your USB

keyboard.



Connect the keyboard to a USB port on the left side or back of the PowerMate eco

system.

3. Connect the power cables:



Connect the AC adapter to the DC power port on the back of the PowerMate eco

system.



Connect the power cable to the AC adapter and to a surge protector (recommended) or

a properly grounded wall outlet.

Do not cover or place objects on the AC adapter. Keeping the adapter

clear of objects lets the adapter cool properly during use.

Only use the AC adapter that comes with your NEC PowerMate eco system. Although other

adapters look similar, using them can damage your system.

4. Power on and start:



Press the power button on the front of the PowerMate eco system.



Adjust the LCD brightness controls.

5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the Microsoft®Windows®setup.

During the Microsoft Windows setup procedure, you must choose your

operating system, Microsoft Windows XP Professional, or Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional.

Once you choose the operating system, you cannot change it. The NEC PowerMate eco Product

Recovery CD that ships with your system only restores the operating system you choose during

the initial Microsoft Windows setup.

Note The NEC PowerMate eco Application and Driver CD provides PowerMate eco drivers

and utilities for users who load their own operating system.

Release Notes

Please see the following information for issues regarding system operation.

Playing DVD Movies in Windows 2000

If you are using a combination DVD-ROM and CD-RW drive on a system with Windows 2000,

you might need to adjust the volume when you play a DVD movie.

To adjust the sound, use the software DVD player (installed from the NEC PowerMate eco

SoftDVD Software CD) as follows:

1. On the CyberLink®PowerDVD™Configuration menu, choose the tool menu (hammer and

nail icon).

2. Choose the Audio tab.

3. Click Advanced.

4. Select the Miscellaneous tab.

5. In the Dynamic Range Compression section, select “Noisy Environment”to increase the

volume. (The default setting is “Normal Environment.”)

Installing the USB Driver in Windows XP

The system comes with a USB driver already installed. If you load your own operating system

software or need to reload the USB driver, install it from the NEC PowerMate eco Application

and Driver CD.

If you are installing the USB driver on a PowerMate eco system running Windows XP, you

might need to reboot the system to complete the installation.

The installation process requires a restart of the system. If the installation process disables your

USB keyboard and USB mouse, reboot the system by pressing and holding the power button for

about four seconds. Press the power button to restart the system.

Memory Upgrade

System memory in the NEC PowerMate eco is upgradeable to 640 MB of synchronous dynamic

random access memory (SDRAM). The PowerMate eco has one 144-pin memory slot for a

PC-133 Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (SO-DIMM). The slot supports a 128-MB,

256-MB, or 512-MB (when available) SO-DIMM. The memory slot is located behind the back

cover at the rear of the LCD unit.

See the following procedures to install, and if necessary, remove a memory module.

Installing a Memory Module

Follow these steps to upgrade the system memory.

1. Save your work and exit Windows. Power off the system, disconnect the AC power adapter,

and disconnect any peripheral devices.

To prevent electric shock, turn off system power and unplug the

system AC power adapter before removing the back cover. Power is removed only when the AC

power adapter is unplugged from its power source.

2. Carefully position the system on a clean, flat, soft surface, with the LCD panel facing down.

To prevent damage to your LCD panel screen, be sure your work

surface is clean, flat, smooth and free of any objects before positioning the system face down.

3. Remove the back cover as follows.



If installed, remove the cover lock.



Release the back cover by pressing in on the bottom edges of the cover (see the

following figure).



Carefully lift and remove the cover.

system board shield and memory slot cover. During system operation, the system board

shield and memory slot cover become hot.



To prevent injury by electric shock, make sure the AC power adapter is unplugged from its

power source. Power is removed only when the AC power adapter is unplugged from its

power source.
