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.

A26361-K1009-Z120-1-7619, edition 4 7

Preparing for use

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.

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 / plastic feet will mark the surface they stand on.

Do not expose the device to extreme environmental conditions (see " gültiges Resultat für Tabelle."). 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.

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.

Vertical operating position

Proceed as follows to operate the device in the vertical operating position:

► If necessary, disconnect the cables.

► Place the device and the base feet

horizontally on a non-slip surface.

► Insert the base feet into the mounting

holes in the left side panel.

Fehler! Kein

► Set up the device vertically using the base

feet as shown.

► If necessary, reconnect the cables.

The set-up direction is specified. The ON/OFF switch must be at the top to ensure

8 A26361-K1009-Z120-1-7619, edition 4

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.

If the base feet are mounted properly, they must not protrude beyond the side panels of the device when it is in the vertical operating position.

Preparing for use

Horizontal operating position with rubber / plastic feet

The horizontal operating position is only permitted with the rubber/plastic feet (due to heat

produced on the underside).

► If necessary, disconnect the cables.

► Position the device vertically.

► Pull off the foil from the rubber / plastic

feet that you will find in the accessories package.

► Stick the rubber / plastic feet on the base

of the casing.

To ensure stable position of the device the rubber / plastic feet should be fixed in similiar positions as shown in the figure.

► Place the unit on the rubber / plastic feet

and reconnect any cables disconnected previously.

A26361-K1009-Z120-1-7619, edition 4 9

Operation

Settings in BIOS Setup

In BIOS Setup you can set the system functions and the hardware configuration of the device. When the PC is delivered, the default entries are valid (see "BIOS Setup" manual or manual for the mainboard). You may customise these settings to your requirements in the BIOS Setup.

Property and data protection

Software functions and mechanical locking offer a broad range of functions for protecting your device and your personal data from unauthorised access. You can also combine these functions.

Mechanical casing lock (optional)

With the casing lock you can mechanically lock the casing to prohibit unauthorised persons from opening it.

● with the holes (2), a padlock and a chain, which you have connected to a fixed object beforehand.

BIOS setup security functions

The Security menu in BIOS Setup offers you various options for protecting your personal data against unauthorised access, e.g.:

● Preventing unauthorised BIOS Setup entry

● Preventing unauthorised system access

● Preventing system booting from the diskette drive

● Activating virus warnings

● Protecting BIOS from being overwritten

● Protecting the device from being switched on by an external device

You can also combine these functions.

Operation

Access authorisation via SmartCard (optional)

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:

● Internal or external 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 (see " 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 holder exists in different designs that function in the same way.

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!

► Press the catch in the direction of the arrow (1).

The battery jumps out of the holder slightly.

► Remove the battery (2).

► Push the new lithium battery of the identical type into the holder (3) and press it downward until

it engages.

Following changes
