                 BRAVO LP AND MT LOW-RADIATION 15" MONITORS


PROBLEM:       The Bravo LP and MT were designed to meet the EPA power
               management requirement, as was the 15" monitor (P/N 501190-
               00X) that is currently being shipped with the system.  The new
               15" LR monitor (P/N 501324-00X) cannot take advantage of the
               power management feature with the current Bravo LP or MT.
               This will hold true until the Bravo King and the Bravo Cobra
               are introduced.  These systems have been designed to meet the
               VESA DPMS standard, as has the new monitor.

CAUSE:         Design differences between current (part number  501190-00X)
               and new (part number  501324-00X) monitors.

SOLUTION:      If customer requires that the monitor and system power down,
               they will have to use the current monitor, part number
               501190-00X .
