Introduction
Your Personal Computer (PC) comprises a powerful system unit (containing a hard disk
and a floppy disk drive), a monitor and an ergonomic keyboard.
It has, among other things, interfaces for a mouse and a printer.
The operating instructions for your PC consist of three books:
1. Operating Manual for the PC
2. Operating Manual for the processor board with the CRT controller included
3. Operating Manual for the monitor
These manuals contain all the information you need to start and operate your PC.
Further, they supply technical particulars about the inner workings of your PC.
Whom does this manual address
You don't need to be an "expert" to perform the operations described here. Do, however,
read the chapter with the important notes at the beginning of the Operating Manual of
your PC and the various notes in each chapter.
In case of difficulties please contact your local service point.
Where to find further information
For specialists such as service technicians and developers of hardware and software,
there is a Service Manual and a System Manual containing further system information.
To learn more about expansions, please refer to the boards and modules concerned.
Particulars of the operating system and application programs are discussed in the
applicable manuals.
