Introduction

This Operating Manual tells you how to put your PC into operation and how to operate it in daily use.
This description applies for all configuration levels. Depending on the configuration level chosen
some of the hardware components described may not be available on your PC. Please observe the
notes on your operating system.

Your device is a powerful PC which is suitable for both professional and private use.

Your PC is available in various configuration levels, which differ in hardware and software
equipment. In addition, you can incorporate operable drives (for example DAT drive, streamer) and
a second hard disk, as well as other boards.

Depending on the configuration level chosen, your PC is supplied with Windows 9x or Windows NT
as the operating system.

Your PC has a number of security features to ensure that no unauthorized persons can access your
data. For example, you can activate a screen saver with password protection. The security functions
in the 

BIOS Setup

 also allow you to protect your data by means of passwords. In addition, you can

also lock your PC mechanically using the cover lock. Systems with a chipcard reader offer additional
protection.
