101003 - Eric did a great job assembling the system.  Problems with power up
101004 - that led to the upgrade, occurred again today.  Eric eventually got
101005 - everything running, and noted there may be a weak cable connection
101006 - that is not evident from observation. ref SDS 0 4158  Eric configured
101007 - the BIOS. ref SDS 0 0760  He turned Inactivity Timer off that supports
101008 - system standby.  It appears W00 has a similar feature. ref SDS 0 8316
101009 - Installed Windows 2000 as an upgrade; this reduced the time to
101010 - configure the system, but it seems to require about 300M or 400M more
101011 - disk space. ref SDS 0 5822  Eric brought an OEM version of W00, which
101012 - needs to be changed to an end user so we get the benefit of Microsoft
101013 - support. ref SDS 0 7004  Installation was successful.  It configured
101014 - our desktop, so we saved a lot of work. ref SDS 0 9582 W00 set up the
101015 - Network without any any adjustments; it seems to run well. ref SDS 0
101016 - 0783  The IBM Dialer does not work; but, Eric fashioned a work around
101017 - using Network Dial-up and Connections. ref SDS 0 3207  SDS cannot be
101018 - run quite as neatly as in W98, but there is a bonus of an extra 50K of
101019 - memory. ref SDS 0 5972  There is a slight problem with Netscape.
101020 - ref SDS 0 3783  Eric got the sanner going, but Omnipage is not seeing
101021 - the device, which is a problem. ref SDS 0 0048 The printer was not
101022 - configured correctly, but it sort of works. ref SDS 0 3713

101024 - Received invoice #03804 for $966.70; paid by check #2314.
101026 -  ..
101027 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 linked to this record thanking Eric and MCE
101028 - for a job well done.  Set out pending issues to complete the order.

101507 -  ..
101508 - Eric assembled the motherboard, and booted the system, took about 30
101509 - minutes, including trouble shooting, since we had the experience from
101510 - 000302.
101511 -
101512 -     This was done with the board resting on the Formica desktop.  No
101513 -     evident precautions were needed.
101515 -      ..
101516 -     Vertical alignment posts were snapped onto either end of the the
101517 -     processor connection port in the mainboard.  The Processor then
101518 -     slid into these guides.
101520 -      ..
101521 -     He placed the port schematic on the outside of the case showing
101522 -     the names of the ports on the Intel motherboard.  Eric noted that
101523 -     the keyboard and mouse ports can be used interchangeably.  He put
101524 -     pasted the diagram of the motherboard to the case on a large open
101525 -     space adjacent to the board, so it is aligned with the board
101526 -     layout to facilitate locating jumpers and other elements.
101528 -      ..
101529 -     We decided to use the onboard sound system.
101530 -
101531 -        As a result, we have a PCI sound card that may be useful for
101532 -        another situation.

101538 -        The sound system seems to be okay though.
101540 -      ..
101541 -     The ASUS motherboard might be useful in another system.  We cannot
101542 -     install it in CPU08, because the form factor does not match.
101544 -      ..
101545 -     The battery from the old motheboard might be useful.
101547 -  ..
101548 - Eric pointed out the larger diameter insulated area around each screw
101549 - for connecting the Intel motherboard to the case.  He indicated this
101550 - makes it easier to avoid damaging the motherboard from inadvertent
101551 - contact with surrounding circuitry.
101553 -  ..
101554 - The system would not initially power up.  This seems like the same
101555 - problem that occurred on 000302 when power up failed after reassembly.
101556 - ref SDS 8 3053
101557 -
101558 -     He tried removing one of the 128M memory modules.  This did not
101559 -     solve the problem.  He tried switching the memory modules.  This
101560 -     did not solve the problem.
101562 -      ..
101563 -     The eventual solution required a re-sequencing the order of
101564 -     connecting devices, as on 000302. ref SDS 8 2652
101566 -      ..
101567 -     Eric concludes one of the devices is causing a problem.

101570 -        He indicated it is hard work to determine which device is the
101571 -        problem.

101573 -          [On 000314 MCE did not comment. ref SDS 17 3844
101575 -         ..
101576 -        It seems upon reflection, that devices fail all the time, and
101577 -        so if a device is impacting power distribution, then this
101578 -        should be a commonly recognized issue for system maintenance
101579 -        engineers.
101581 -         ..
101582 -        Suppose this is the underlying problem with CPU11, rather than
101583 -        a weak motherboard or weak operating system; in that case we
101584 -        will be back visiting CPU11, spending more time and money.
101586 -         ..
101587 -        A significant dilemma that has not been addressed is Eric's
101588 -        quandry on 000302 noting that the record of service showing
101589 -        components assembled in one sequence do not work, but when
101590 -        assembled in a different sequence, do work.  He noted this
101591 -        makes "no sense." ref SDS 8 0897
101592 -
101593 -            Morris proposed that a cable on a device is beginning to
101594 -            fray, or is not well established with the connecting
101595 -            material due to wear, possibly from repeated handling
101596 -            during assembly.  Making connections in PCs occurs in
101597 -            cramped quarters, with the result that they can seem
101598 -            secure, but are really not.  Connectors that are beginning
101599 -            to fray can actually be secure but the ancle on different
101600 -            cycles is slightly diffent so things work sometimes, and
101601 -            other times don't.
101603 -             ..
101604 -            Subsequent attempts to assemble devices may achieve
101605 -            slightly better connections.  There are not a lot of other
101606 -            options to explain this record.

101643 -              removed to free up hard disk space.  The best method for

120621 -    Once Eric got the system to power up he reviewed BIOS setup.
120622 -
120623 -        On the Intel Se440BX-2 Motherboard there is a "Configuration
120624 -        Jumper."  It lets you set the processor type and system bus
120625 -        speed.
120626 -
120627 -        To do this, you just set it from pins 1-2 to pins 2-3.  Then
120628 -        you power on the machine, it will then detect the processor and
120629 -        ask you if you want to run at 100Mhz bus speed. After that it
120630 -        will shoot you into the BIOS, and let you make other
120631 -        configurations. When you exit the BIOS it will ask you to put
120632 -        the configuration jumper back to its original state, on pins
120633 -        1-2. If you don't, it will take you through the configuration
120634 -        process again.  If you need to make changes in the BIOS, you do
120635 -        NOT need to change the configuration jumper, all you have to do
120636 -        is hit F2 at the Intel boot up screen.

310511 -    means we do not need Novaback, and it can back up to the local
310512 -    drive.
310514 -     ..
310515 -    This supports our practice of doing daily interim backups to the E:
310516 -    drive, and doing a monthly full file backup on the system,
310517 -    including the monthly backups.   We can then delete prior daily
310518 -    backups from the disk, so that the burden of storage is not
310519 -    contnuous, while preserving the ability to retrieve any version of
310520 -    a file.
310521 -    ..
310522 -    The report structure of the backup is significantly improved,
310523 -    with a fixed structure that permits more easily understanding where
310524 -    things are and blocks of files based on the directory structure.

310529 -
310530 -       It appears, however, that the specification for doing a back
310531 -       up is not saved, and so has to be created each time it is
310532 -       used.
310533 -
310534 -           Actually, it turned out later that we can save the backup
310535 -           spec, but the procedure for doing so is obtuse, and is not
310536 -           explained in help.  It takes an accident to figure how to
310537 -           save a backup job for reuse.
310539 -            ..
310540 -           Essentially, you have to Start the job, then in the next
310541 -           screen, click on Schedule.  This asks for a name.  Give it
310542 -           a name, then cancel the stupid schedule operation.
310543 -       ..
310544 -       Backup on CPU10 using W98 saves the backup specification.
310545 -       We can call the job for example, "Interim," and then run that
310546 -       specification again by just changing the destination output
310547 -       file.

310559 -        ..
310560 -       If it backups up 2M, it reports it as a 14M file, evidently
310561 -       recording all of the empty directories it examined and did not
310562 -       backup up, so it is a huge waste of space.

901301 -  ..
901302 - SDS and Medit Configured with Batch Ops Saves RAM
901303 -
901304 - Had difficulty figuring out how to set up SDS and Medit under w00, so
901305 - it works the same way as in w98.  Finally developed a batch file
901306 - method that seems to increase RAM for SDS by about 50K.
901307 -
901308 -        [On 000508 needed special batch files for notebooks where w2k
901309 -        is not installed in normal directory. ref SDS 22 2495
901311 -         ..
901312 -        [On 010202 turned out special batch files are not needed,
901313 -        because can set path with Environment Variables under Advanced
901314 -        in System Properties. ref SDS 27 2495
901316 -  ..
901317 - Eric figured out how to set up DOS applications under w00 using the
901318 - right click on the desktop to get a menu.  Select "New" and then
901319 - "Shortcut."  Use that to call the program, and w00, like w98, creates
901320 - a program menu for configuring the thing.
901322 -      ..
901323 -     The problem is that this feature produces 50K less RAM for SDS
901324 -     than the other DOS method, explained below.  It has 20K less than
901325 -     under w98.
901327 -      ..
901328 -     So it is not a viable solution -- it is worthless, indeed a
901329 -     retrenchment of capability, reported on 000227.
901330 -
901332 -  ..
901333 - MEM Saves 50K for SDS in W2K
901334 -
901335 - We seemed though to discover a trick...
901336 -
901337 -
901338 -                          mem
901339 -
901340 -
901341 - ...executed at the DOS prompt prior to calling apps seems to increase
901342 - RAM available to SDS and Medit by about 30K.  In w2k, this is nearly
901343 - 60K more than using the prior configuration under w95 and w98 where
901344 - SDS and Medit were specified in the application properties.
901345 -
901346 -      [On 010202 configured c13 similarly. ref SDS 27 KN6F
901348 -       ..
901349 -      [On 010214 discovered that on c13 mem is not necessary; it does
901350 -      not enable w2k to load anything high. ref SDS 28 KN6F
901352 -       ..
901353 -      [On 010901 need mem for c11 and c12 for some reason, even though
901354 -      not needed for c13. ref SDS 29 YB3J
901356 -  ..
901357 - Therefore, to setup SDS and Medit, create an application "shortcut"
901358 - using the standard windows steps, per above, ref SDS 0 5976, but
901359 - instead of configuring the application directly, call it as a batch
901360 - file that begins with the mem command. If the batch file first calls
901361 - mem, then calls SDS, for some reason this arrangement saves about 30K
901362 - of RAM for the session.
901364 -       ..
901365 -      Typically, for SDS we have used for the command call...
901366 -
901367 -           c:\sd\01\e.exe messages c:\sd\03\04702
901369 -       ..
901370 -      We then set the start directory and call a batch file to clear
901371 -      temporary files.
901373 -  ..
901374 - With this new scheme, we call batch file...
901375 -
901376 -
901377 -                      c: sd 01 sds.bat
901378 -
901379 -
901380 -      ...with following contents.
901381 -
901382 -            @echo off
901383 -            mem
901384 -         *  path I:\00\02;I:\00\02\system32;c:\sd\01;c:\01\02
901385 -         *  c:
901386 -         *  cd\sd\10
901387 -            del stufq*

901396 -
901397 -    *  Actually, do not need path, c: and directory, because these can
901398 -       be set in the program launch routine that comes with w2k.
901400 -  ..
901401 - After configuring the application on the desktop, drag it to the task
901402 - bar.
901404 -  ..
901405 - DOS prompt is called in a similar way, except the processing
901406 - specified in Properties, rather than a batch file.
901407 -
901409 -  ..
901410 - Environment Variables can set path for DOS and SDS, as follows...
901411 -
901412 -
901413 -        Path can be set under Environment Variables
901414 -

901428 -
901430 -         ..
901431 -        Worked around it to get the benefit of the increased RAM,
901432 -        particularly considering the direct configuration option Eric
901433 -        developed above, ref SDS 0 5400, actually has 20K less than the
901434 -        same feature in w98.
901436 -         ..
901437 -        This requires two steps, instead of just one, which further
901438 -        reduces productivity.
901440 -         ..
901441 -        Went ahead and configured the low RAM options, because they can
901442 -        be used to check and empty the FTP directory for the Internet.
901444 -         ..
901445 -    2.  Clicking to terminate does not work.  It requires two clicks,
901446 -        which takes twice as much time.
901448 -         ..
901449 -    3.  Font and screen settings for both DOS programs do not have the
901450 -        same setting as w98, which works well. We have less capability,
901451 -        reflecting the problem with "new and improved," reported on
901452 -        000305. ref SDS 12 3968

990707 - It therefore has to be reset each pass.  One result is that

A60824 - We don't need the scanner for creating pictures to print more

A60828 - We need Omnipage or something to convert pictures into text for those
A60829 - occasions when people can't send stuff via the web.
A60830 - ..
A60831 - Eric noticed that, as occurred on 000227, ref SDS 5 5015,
A60832 - Omnipage was not recognizing the scanner, despite the fact he just
A60833 - created a picture.
