Getting started
Setting up the device
VideoworkstationErgonomicDevice,
When installing your device, please read the recommendations and
safety notes in the "Safety" manual.
Do not place the machine in any position other than the one intended (upright on its feet).
We recommend that you place your device on a surface with good anti-slip qualities.
In view of the multitude of different finishes and varnishes used on furniture, it is
possible that the rubber feet will mark the surface they stand on.
Do not stack severa l devices on top of each other.
Do not start the machine in any position other than upright on its feet.
Depending on the location of your machine, it may emit annoying vibration or noises.
To avoid this, allow a minimum clearance of 3 mm from other equipment or objects
at the sides of the casing where there are no ventilation grilles.
Make sure that the device is adequately ventilated. In order to avoid overheating,
do not cover the ventilation area of the monitor or the device.
Do not expose the device to extreme ambient conditions (see "AMILO Desktop S", Page
21, "Ambient conditions"). Protect the device against dust, humidity and heat.

USBdevices,USBport,Externald evices,Devices,
You can connect a wide range of external devices to the USB ports (e.g.
printer, scanner, modem or keyboard).
Getting started
USB devices are hot-pluggable. This means you can connect and d isco nnect
USB cables while your device is s witched on.
Additional information can be found in the documentation for the USB devices.
► Connect the data cable to the external device.
► Connect the data cable to one of the USB ports on your device.
Device drivers
The external USB devices you connect to the USB ports usually require no
driver of their own, as the required software is already included in the operating
system. However, if the external USB device requires its own software, please
install it from the data carrier provided with the USB device.
To ensure USB 2.0, the length of the cable used between the front USB port of
your device and the external USB device must not exceed 3 m.
