External devices
i
If you have received other devices in addition to your device (e.g. a printer or a modem),
do not connect these until after the initial installation. The following sections contain a
description of how to connect these external devices.
Drives and boards
If you have received drives or boards with your device, please do not install them until
after first-time setup. How to install drives and boards is described in the "System
expansions" chapter.
VFY-SCED103S, edition 1 5
Setting up the device
When installing your device, give consideration to the safety notes in the "Safety" manual.
!
Only install the device in the operating positions for which it is intended.
Do not place the device on the floor.
We recommend that you place your device on an insensitive, non-slip surface. In view of
the multitude of different finishes and varnishes used on furniture, it is possible that the
feet of the device will mark the surface they stand on.
Do not expose the device to extreme environmental conditions (see "Technical data").
Protect the device from dust, humidity, and heat.
When installing the workstation, provide sufficient clearance around the device, as
indicated in the "Technical data" chapter to ensure adequate ventilation. In order to avoid
overheating, do not cover the ventilation area of the monitor or the device.
Do not stack several devices on top of each other.
If you place a monitor on the device, it may weigh a maximum of 25 kg. Make sure that
you do not block any ventilation slots on the device.
Depending on the location of your device, bothersome vibrations and noises may occur.
To prevent this, a distance of at least 3 mm should be maintained from other devices on
casing sides without ventilation surfaces. In addition, we recommend placing the device on
support feet, as these buffer vibrations.
The device can operate in either a vertical or horizontal position.
6 VFY-SCED103S, edition 1
Preparing for use
Vertical operating position
Proceed as follows to operate the device in the vertical operating position:
► If necessary, disconnect the cables.
Use the base feet contained in the accessory
pack when it is to be used in a vertical position:
► Place the feet of the device on a non-slip
surface.
► Place the device on the base feet (see
illustration).
► If necessary, reconnect the cables.
VFY-SCED103S, edition 1 7
The set-up direction is specified. The ON/OFF switch must be at the top to ensure
sufficient ventilation.
!
The vertical operating position is only permissible with base feet. The base feet provide for
sufficient ventilation on the underside of the device.
Horizontal operating position with rubber feet
The horizontal operating position is only permitted with the rubber feet (due to heat
produced on the underside).
!
► If necessary, disconnect the cables.
► Stick the rubber feet on the base of the
casing (see illustration).
► Place the unit on the rubber feet and
reconnect any cables disconnected
previously.

Restoring the hard disk contents
Should you need to restore your hard disk, the instructions are provided on the case of the
"Recovery CD" (delivered with your system).
Tips
Out of system resources
If you have too many applications running at once, you may experience problems due to a lack of
system resources.
► Close unnecessary applications.
Or
► Run the applications in a different order.
Other manuals
Additional manuals are provided as PDF files on the "User Documentation" or "Drivers & Utilities"
CD.

System expansions
As the device 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.
i
It may be necessary to update the BIOS when carrying out a system expansion or
hardware upgrade. Additional information is contained in the "BIOS Setup" manual or
possibly in the manual for the mainboard.
When installing components that become very hot, make sure that the maximum
permissible temperature is not exceeded.
This chapter describes all the activities required to modify your device hardware (e.g. installing
boards or drives).
Read the supplied documentation before installing new drives and/or boards.
Refer to the manual for the mainboard before making any extensions to the mainboard.
Information about boards
Take care with the locking mechanisms (catches and centring pins) when you are replacing boards
or components on boards.
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 inserted straightly.
Never use sharp objects (screwdrivers) for leverage.
The device must be switched off when installing/removing the system expansions and may
not be in the energy-saving mode.
!
Remove the power plug before opening the device.
Boards with electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are identifiable by the label
shown.
When you handle boards fitted with ESDs, you must, under all
circumstances, observe the following points:
● You must always discharge static build up (e.g. by touching a
grounded object) before working.
● The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.
● Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.
● Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs.

Extensions to the mainboard
Details on whether you can upgrade the main memory or the processor of your device are provided
in the manual for the mainboard. In order to gain access to the components, you may need to
remove the cross-beam.
Making changes on mainboard
► Open the casing (see "Opening the casing").
► Remove the cross-beam (see "Removing the cross-piece").
► If necessary, remove the drive cage (see "Removing the drive cage").
Upgrading main memory
► Upgrade the memory as it is described in the manual for the mainboard.
Replacing the processor
► Replace the processor as it is described in the manual for the mainboard.
Replacing 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 throw lithium batteries into the household waste. They must be disposed of in
accordance with local regulations concerning special waste.
Make sure that you insert the battery the right way round: The plus pole must be on the
top!
