1.3.15 System Security The system BIOS provides a power-on password option that is enabled through the Setup program. The computer includes a cable lock provision that makes it possible to lock the computer cover in place to prevent unauthorized access to the system jumpers and other internal components (a padlock is not included). For more information on this and additional security features, refer Chapter 2, "Compaq Utilities." 1.3.16 Keyboard/Mouse Controller The onboard 8042 I/O controller stores the keyboard and mouse controller code. Connectors for the keyboard and mouse are located on the back panel. 1.3.17 Real-Time Clock and CMOS RAM The onboard I/O controller provides a real-time clock and CMOS RAM. Chapters 5 and 6, "Removal and Replacement," provide information about installing a new battery. You can set the time for the clock and the CMOS values by using the Setup program described in Chapter 2, "Compaq Utilities." 1.3.18 Power Supply Fan For cooling, a fan is incorporated as part of the power supply at the rear of the computer chassis. The fan draws air in through the front of the chassis and exhausts air out the rear of the chassis. This provides adequate air flow across the processor. To insure that the processor in a Pentium II minitower system receives adequate ventilation, an internal air duct is installed in the front of the unit. 1.3.19 Speaker An internal piezo speaker is mounted on the system board. The speaker provides audible error code information (beep codes) during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) and as required by the software. See Appendix F, "POST Error Messages," for beep code information. 1.3.20 Software The Pentium computer configurations are shipped with Windows 95 installed as the operating system. The Pentium II configurations ship with Windows NT 4.0 as the operating system. Preloaded Software The following Compaq software is preloaded on the computer: s Partition-based Compaq Diagnostics utilities s Compaq Diagnostics for Windows s Compaq Insight Management Agent s Desktop Management Interface (DMI) Support 1-10 Product Description
