Appendix B - Battery Pack Operating Time 
 
Introduction 
This appendix covers the following information concerning battery pack
operating time:
o Increasing battery pack operating time
o Ensuring battery gauge accuracy
o Conditioning a battery pack
o Disposal of a used battery pack
B.1 Increasing Battery Pack Operating Time 
Battery pack operating time differs depending on several variables. To
avoid unnecessary replacement, consider the following variables when
determining how long a charged battery...

o Set the power conservation levels in the Power Management utility to
High.
o Customize the timeout values to work more efficiently with the
applications. The amount of battery life depends on the values selected.
Maximizing the Energy Stored
To maximize the energy stored in the battery pack, follow these guidelines:
o Condition the battery pack at least every 60 days to improve overall
battery performance and ensure the continued accuracy of the battery
gauge.
o Keep a battery pack in the computer when...

By pressing the Fn+F8 hotkeys, the battery gauge window displays the
operating time and percentage of battery power remaining (Figure B-1). The
battery gauge can be displayed when operating the computer under battery
power or AC power. The time remaining on the battery gauge varies
depending on the power requirements of any applications currently being
used, and options currently installed.
NOTE: When the power cord is connected to an external outlet, the battery
gauge displays a power cord plug symbol....

9. Use the Fn+F7 hotkeys to reset the power conservation level.
It takes approximately 1 hour to fast charge the battery pack if the
computer is turned off, and approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours if the computer
is being used.
NOTE: The battery pack can be charged in the computer, the battery charging
compartment in the expansion base, or the battery fastcharger option
(Table 3-14).
B.4 Disposal Of A Used Battery Pack 
In the interest of safeguarding our environment, Compaq Computer
Corporation recommends...

Appendix C - Configuring the System for Optional Drives 
in SmartStation 
 
Introduction 
This appendix covers configuring the system for optional drives (other than
SCSI-2) that are installed in the Compaq SmartStation and includes the
following:
o Configuring an IDE hard drive
o Setting configuration switches for a diskette, tape or an IDE hard drive
o Changing the A/B and C/D logical drive designations
o Installing EXTDISK.SYS on the Compaq LTE Lite
NOTE: Refer to Appendix F to configure the system...

IMPORTANT: If the expansion base has one IDE hard drive, set the drive
jumpers to the single drive position. If the drive does
not have a single position, set the jumpers to master.
Do not set the jumpers to the slave position unless a
second IDE drive in the expansion base is set to master.
Refer to the drive manufacturers instructions for
information on how to set the jumpers and other important
installation instructions.
2. Install the hard drive (Section 9.15).
3. While the bottom cover is off the...

10. Format the hard drive using the MS-DOS FORMAT command. Enter
FORMAT D:
IMPORTANT: When formatting an IDE drive that will be used as a bootable
drive, add the /S switch to the FORMAT command so that you
can use the C/D drive selection switch. Enter
FORMAT D:/S
11. If the C/D switch on the vertical circuit board is enabled (the
default), set the C/D drive selection switch to operate the hard drive
in the expansion base as logical drive C or D. (The default position is
D.)
12. Turn the system off with...
