Getting started
Setting up the device
WorkstationErgonomicDevice
When installing your device, please read the recommendations and safety
notes in the "Safety/regulations" manual.
We recommend that you place your device on a surface which is not slippery. In
view of the many different finishes and varnishes used on furniture, it is possible
that the rubber feet will mark the surface they stand on.
Depending on the location of your device, bothersome vibrations and noises may
occur. To prevent this, a distance of at least 10 mm / 0.39" should be maintained
from other devices on casing sides without ventilation surfaces.
In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the ventilation areas
of the monitor or the device.
A minimum distance of 200 mm / 7.87" from the device must be
observed for ventilation areas.
Do not stack several devices on top of each other.
Do not expose the device to extreme ambient conditions (see "
specification", Page 43, section "Ambient conditions"). Protect the
device against dust, humidity and heat.

After consulting the Hotline/Help Desk, you may remove and install the components
described in this manual yourself.
The following illustrations may differ slightly from your device, depending on its configuration level.
If further d ocu mentation was delivered with your device, please also read this through carefully.
In addition, before removing or installing system components, please pay attention to the following:
Repairs to the device must only be performed by qualified technicians. Incorrect repairs
may greatly endanger the user (electric shock, fire risk) and will invalidate your warranty.
As the de vice has to be shut down in order to install/deinstall system hardware
components, it is a good idea to print out the relevant sections of this chapter beforehand.
The device must be switched off when installing/rem oving the system
expansions and may not be in energy-saving mode.
Remove the power plug before opening the device.
Be careful that no wires become trapped when removing or installing components.
When installing components that become very hot, make sure that the maximum
permissible te mperature of the components in operation is not exceeded.
An update of the BIOS may be required for a system expansion or hardware
upgrade. Further information can be found in the BIOS help s ection or if
necessary in th e Technical Manual for the mainboard.

Information about boards
Take care with the locking mechanisms (catches and centring pins) when you
are replacing boards or components on boards.
Note that some components on the mainboard may be very hot if the device was
in use shortly before the casing was removed.
To prevent damage to the board or the components and conductors on it, please take care when
you insert or remove boards. Make sure expansion boards are i nserte d straightly.
Never use sharp objects (screwdrivers) for leverage.

Overview of the drive bays and drives in your device
The casing has space for several accessible and non-accessible drives:
•two drive bays for accessible 5
•one drive bay for an accessible 3
•two drive bays for non-accessible 3
"Accessible drives" are e.g. DVD or CD ROM drives, into which a data medium can be
inserted from outside. "Non-accessible drives" are for e xamp le hard disk drives.

Replacing the lithium battery
In order to permanently save the system information, a lithium battery is installed to provide
the CMOS-memory with a current. A corresponding error message notifies the user when the
charge is too low or the battery is empty. The lithium battery must then be replaced.
Incorrect replacement of the lithium battery may lead to a risk of explosion!
The lithium battery may be replaced only with an identical battery or with
a type recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not dispose of lithium batteries with household waste. They must be disposed
of in accordance with local regulations concerning special waste.
Make sure that you observe the correct polarity when replacing the lithium
battery. The plus pole must be on the top!
