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.

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.
