Safety and Warning
Observe the following safety instructions any time you are connecting or disconnecting devices to the workstation.
WARNING: An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place
hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.
When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.
Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to pre­vent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical potentials.
During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, print­ers, telephones, or station protectors for communications lines.
To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet before relocating the system.
WARNING: This product is equipped with a three-wire power cable and
plug for the user’s safety. Use the power cable in conjunction with a prop­erly grounded electrical outlet to avoid electrical shock.
Static-Sensitive Devices
CAUTION: Motherboards, adapters, and disk drives are sensitive to static
electricity discharge. These devices are wrapped in antistatic bags to prevent this damage. Take the following precautions:
If you have an antistatic wrist strap available, use it while handling the device.
Do not remove the device from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the device in the system unit.
With the device still in its antistatic bag, touch it to a metal frame of the system.
Grasp cards and boards by the edges. Hold drives by the frame. Avoid touching the solder joints or pins.
If you need to lay the device down while it is out of the antistatic bag, lay it on the antistatic bag. Before picking it up again, touch the anti­static bag and the metal frame of the system unit at the same time.
Handle the devices carefully in order to prevent permanent damage.

I. Introduction
Tools Required
A few items are needed to install or remove the components in this server.
Phillips (cross) screwdriver
Standard (flat) screwdriver
Antistatic wrist strap
Preparation
1. Unpack your server, do not connect the power cord.
IMPORTANT: Most servers use an A T power supply that has a fixed ON
and OFF switch located on the front. This server uses an ATX power supply that is normally OFF until an electrical signal is given to the power supply through a momentary switch located on the front of the server. There is always a standby power in the power supply in order for A TX power supply features to work, and therefore removing the power cord is necessary to prevent electrical shocks when working on the server components.
2. Unlock the padlock if one is used. This server is equipped with a lock­able front door to prevent unauthorized access. Open the side panel.
I. Introduction
3. Install final server components such as CPU, Memory , Hard Disk Drives, expansion cards. Use this hardware reference guide along with your motherboard manual in order to make these installations.
4. Connect a Keyboard and Mouse (purchased separately)
5. Connect a VGA-compatible monitor (purchased separately)
6. Connect a printer to the parallel port if desired.
7. Connect server to network (an optional network card is needed)
WARNING: To prevent electrical shock or fire, be sure not to plug tele-
communications/telephone cables into the network RJ45 connector in the server if one is installed.
8. Set the power supply input voltage to either 115V for 110V-120V areas or 130V for 120V-140V areas.
CAUTION: The voltage must be set correctly or damage may occur.
9. Connect the included power cord to the server’s power supply.
10.Connect the server to a grounded (three pronged) AC power source such as a UPS or power strip (preferably with surge protection).
WARNING: This server is designed for connection to a grounded (earthed)
outlet. T o reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to your server , do not bypass the grounding plug.
