Configuring System Audio
The system has a Sound Blaster-compatible audio controller card. This Industry Standard
Architecture (ISA) or Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) card contains the system’s audio
ports and MIDI/game port. The required driver software was installed before shipment.
If you connect a microphone and speakers to the ports on the card, you can use the operating
system’s Volume Control to set speaker volume, microphone input level, and other system audio
features. The Volume Control is available as a speaker icon in the operating system’s taskbar tray.
For more information on using the sound control programs, see the operating system
documentation and Help. For more information on the audio controller card, see the audio
controller documentation delivered with the system.
Configuring Networking
The system has a 3Com 3C905B-TX 10 Mbit/100 Mbit Ethernet network controller card. This
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) card features Wake-On-LAN technology. The required
driver software was installed before shipment.
Before you configure networking, ensure that the system is connected to the network. Then from
the operating system Start menu, go to Settings/Control Panel/Network to configure networking.
Follow the instructions provided to set up the system to connect to and communicate over a
network. Be sure to set up the appropriate network protocols, such as TCP/IP, for the network to
which you are connecting the system.
After installing network protocols, you may need to reinstall the appropriate operating system
Service Pack software as recommended by Microsoft. See the Service Pack documentation
delivered with the system for more information.
See the network controller documentation for detailed configuration instructions. See the
operating system documentation and Help for information on setting up the operating system to use
a network.
