PB486ES MANUAL CORRECTIONS

The 486ES Users Guide requires the following corrections; the information may be found in an insert included with the system.

Page D-16 - The table for (J40) should read:
 

NOTE:
This system features a game port located between the VGA video port and the parallel port on the system's rear panel. You can connect a joystick to this port.

Page 3-23 - The Power Management section should read:

NOTE:
The following Power Management features are reserved to accommodate components that will be available in the future. Your system's hard disk drive or monitor may not support power management.

IDE POWER DOWN- If your system includes an IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) hard disk drive that supports power management, you can use the IDE Power Down feature. (If your hard drive does not support power management, skip this section.) By enabling this feature, the hard drive will "spin down" if there is no hard drive activity for the time you have designated. You can enable power saving by selecting either 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, or 20 MINutes (default=disabled). If you
disable this feature, the hard drive will operate at full power.

VIDEO POWER DOWN- If you purchased a monitor that supports power management, you can use the Video Power Down feature. (If your monitor does not support power management, skip this section.) By enabling this feature, your monitor screen will "turn off" if you do not use the keyboard for the time period you have designated. To enable this feature,  you can select either 1/2, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40 or 80 MINutes (default=disabled). If you disable this feature, the monitor will remain illuminated.

Page 4-2, 4-3 - System Speed Control section should read:

SYSTEM SPEED CONTROL-Your system is configures to operate at Turbo speed. Accordingly,  you do not need to use the Turbo button, Turbo keyboard commands, or Turbo indicator. Please disregard references to these features in your Users Guide.

  The system's operating speed can be changed by disabling (for Slow Speed) or enabling (for Fast Speed) the Cache feature in the system's setup utility program, as described in Chapter 3 of your User's Guide. Due to a change in system design, the TURBO BUTTON,  TURBO LED and TURBO KEYBOARD command features referenced in your User's Guide may have been removed.

NOTE TO JOYSTICK USERS: If you have connected a joystick to your system, and you have enabled the system's VIDEO POWER DOWN feature (described in Chapter 3), you can return to your application from the Video Power Down mode by pressing any key on the keyboard, or by moving the mouse.
