FCC Class B Compliance Statement
The following statement applies to the products covered in this manual, unless otherwise specified
herein. The statement for other products will appear in the accompanying documentation.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a "Class B" digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules and meets all requirements of the Canadian InterferenceCausing Equipment Standard ICES-003 for digital apparatus. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in strict
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
● Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
● Increase the separation between equipment and the receiver.
● Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
●Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused
by unauthorized modifications of this equipment or the substitution or attachment of connecting
cables and equipment other than those specified by Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH. The
correction of interferences caused by such unauthorized modification, substitution or attachment will
be the responsibility of the user.
The use of shielded I/O cables is required when connecting this equipment to any and all optional
peripheral or host devices. Failure to do so may violate FCC and ICES rules.

Unpacking and checking the delivery
It is recommended not to throw away the original packaging material! It may be required for
reshipment at some later date.
► Unpack all the individual parts.
► Check the delivery for damage incurred during transportation.
► Check whether the delivery agrees with the details in the delivery note.
► Should you discover that the delivery does not correspond to the delivery note, notify your local
sales outlet immediately.
Steps for initial setup
Only a few steps are necessary to put your new device into operation for the first time:
– Select a location for device and set up device
– Connect the monitor, mouse and keyboard
– Check the voltage at the mains outlet and connect the device to an electrical outlet
– Switch the device on
You will learn more about the individual steps in the following sections.

Preparing for use
Setting up the device
When installing your device, please read the recommendations and safety notes in the
"Safety" manual.
!
Set up the device only in its correct orientation (vertical position).
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 expose the device to extreme environmental conditions (see "Technical data").
Protect the device from dust, humidity, and heat.
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 stack several devices on top of each other.
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.

Access authorization via SmartCard
In systems equipped with a SmartCard reader, access can be restricted to those users who have a
corresponding SmartCard.
Access protection with SystemLock
With SystemLock you can protect your system from unauthorised booting. Then a system can only be
booted when the user inserts a valid SmartCard in the SmartCard reader and enters his/her personal
code number (PIN). To use SystemLock you require the following components:
● External or internal SmartCard reader
● SystemLock installed (see "BIOS Setup" manual)
● SmartCard
SystemLock controls access to your device. When a SmartCard is initialised, permissions are
assigned for system access (system, setup, system+setup, admin). You can configure several
SmartCards for one system and initialise them with different permissions. In addition you can protect
access to your hard disk.
In this way users can be divided into user groups. Users of a user group use SmartCards with the
same permissions.
More information on SystemLock
If you also want to use other security software in addition to SystemLock (e.g.
SMARTY), please read the documentation on your security software beforehand.

SystemLock permissions
You can initialise a SmartCard with one of the following permissions:

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
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.
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 straight.
Never use sharp objects (screwdrivers) for leverage.
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
A26361-K1006-Z120-1-7619, edition 1 33

● 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.

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 throw lithium batteries into the 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!
The lithium battery holder exists in different designs that function in the same way.
