I. Introduction
• 1-3. Features
AP3000 is a department server configured on the XG-DLS smart motherboard which uses the 440GX chipset from Intel and supports two Pentium II processors and 100MHz front side bus in order to handle even the most complicated server tasks.The following are high­lights to this server’s many features. For additional features and de­tails, read the motherboard User’s Manual included with this server package.
Processor: Supports dual Intel® Pentium® II Xeon™ processors from
450MHz to 550MHz on each processor for extreme server processing speeds.
Memory: Equipped with four DIMM sockets to support up to 2GB
SDRAM with ECC.
AGP Slot: Supports Accelerated Graphics Port cards for high perfor-
mance, component level interconnect targeted at 3D graphical display applications. Using AGP will also free up a PCI slot.

I. Introduction
• 1-5. Electrical Safety
IMPORTANT
• Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.
• T o prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet before relocating the system.
• 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.
Electrical Safety
I. Introduction
I. Introduction
CAUTION
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.
IMPORTANT
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.
