INTRODUCTION

This section provides the information

that

you need to prepare for the instaliation of your computer
system. This information will help you decide where to put your system, what to have ready when your
system arrives, and how to receive your system.

Most facilities require no alteration. However,

we

recommend

that

you read this section thoroughly in

order to verify

that

your environment supports your computer.

This section includes:

* "Prior to Installation: A Checklist

II

* "Principal Operator" - describes the role of a principal operator and the assistance

that

person has.

* "Space and Environment Planning" - provides the system dimensions, environmental and electrical

requirements, and defines possible sources of interference or contamination.

* "Providing Other Necessities" - describes additional items necessary to computer operation, such

as

media storage, computer supplies, and telephone access.

Although you are responsible for providing a suitable environment for your computer system, no extensive

preparation should

be

required.

If

your office

is

unusual, Hewlett-Packard or your system supplier may

recommend

that

you purchase HP's Site Planning Service.

2.1

PRIOR

TO

INSTALLATION: A CHECKLIST

The items in this list are expanded upon in the text

that

follows the list.

1.

Select a Principal Operator to

be

responsible for

the

preparation, installation and operation of your

computer system.

System operator training

is

REQUIRED prior to installing the system.

2.

Select a location for your system. Plan the physical arrangement

of

your system and furniture.

3.

Call your building maintenance people to verify

that

your electrical wiring

is

connected to approved

ground and

that

it

provides adequate

current

to supply power to ALL of your electrical equipment.

4.

Check the average temperature and humidity of your environment. Install climate conditioning

s.

Order consumable supplies, including printer paper and ribbon, and plotter paper and pens (available

from

Hewlett-Packard). Set up a storage area.

2-1

Preparing for Your System

6.

When you receive your system, inspect the cartons for any damage. If there

is

evidence of damage,

request

that

the carrier's representative

be

present when

that

carton

is

unpacked.

2.2 PRINCIPAL OPERATOR

Select someone to

be

the Principal Operator. This person

is

responsible for monitoring the installation,

operation, and maintenance of your system. Initially, the

Principal Operator will order computer supplies,

and schedule training for system users. The

Principal Operator should become familiar with the system

and

be

ready to

start

its operation when the system

is

installed. System operator training

is

REQUIRED

bef ore installing the system.

HP

People Who Can Help

Below

is

a list of Hewlett-Packard service personnel. Each member of the HP team

is

well trained and

dedicated to helping you make maximum use of your computer system.

Sales Representative - your primary contact. Your sales representative coordinates

HP

resources to ensure

on

-time

delivery of your system. Call your sales representative to arrange staff training or to acquire

additional system

devices-;f

Customer

Engineer

(CE)

- the expert in computer and peripheral equipment service. The CE has the

tools, parts, and skills to maintain your computer system.

If

you purchase

an

HP

Maintenance Agreement,

the CE will provide hardware maintenance, repair, and problem diagnosis.

Systems

Engineer

(SE)

- the technical specialist in subsystems and programming languages. Your

SE
offers training and technical consulting on the programming language, utility programs, data base
management, and system performance. The

SE

will provide software consulting and software problem

diagnosis.

Your sales person can describe the various software support services available to you.

Third

Party

People Who Can Help

Original Equipment Manufacturer JOEM) or System House

--

If you have purchased an HP computer

system

and/or

applications softwate from someone other

than

HP,

that

party will provide consultation
services on system operation and/ applications software (programs). In this situation, a maintenance
agreement for hardware support is1available from Hewlett-Packard.

2-2

Preparing for Your System

2.3

SPACE AND ENVIRONMENT PLANNING

The location

that

you select for your system should satisfy both immediate and

future

needs. Select a

location

that

enables you to add more equipment

as

your needs expand and ensures

that

you have

sufficient room to operate, ventilate, and service your equipment.

If

you expand beyond a minimum

system, the expansion requires CE site preparation and installation.

If

you are definitely planning to

expand,

it

may be

less

expensive to have the CE do the site preparation now.

Remember

that

the length of the cables may restrict

future

moves. Plan to keep cables away from

traffic

paths.

Hewlett-

Packard supports

the

RS-232

cables up to

15

meters (50 feet)

in

length.

The cabinet

that

houses

the

SPU,

disc drive,

and

tape

unit

is

designed to sit on

the

floor.

It

is

720 mm (33

inches) high, 375 mm (15 inches) wide, and 711 mm (32

1/2

inches) deep. You should NOT plan to set

anything on top of your cabinet.

Provide a minimum of 152 mm

(6

inches) of free space behind the

cabinet for ventilation during operation. For servicing, provide

at

least 795 mm (36 inches) of open space

in

front

of

and behind

the

cabinet, or ensure

that

the

cables are long enough to move the cabinet into

an

open area.

I CAUTION I

To move

the

cabinet, raise

the

legs by turning them counterciockwise.

Because the cabinet

is

front-heavy,

it

can

tip

when you are moving it.

Push

it

from

the

front. Keep

the

legs down when you are not moving

the

cabinet.

I CAUTION I

Do not move the cabinet while the disc drive

is

on. Disc damage may

result.

The remaining devices in your system are designed to sit on desk or table tops. The

amount

of space

that

you need

is

determined by

the

number of terminals, printers, and plotters

that

you have.

2-3

Preparing for Your System

Environmental Considerations

Temperature

and Humidity

Higher operating temperatures increase the failure rate of electronic circuitry. High humidity can cause
device malfunctions or improper feeding of printer or plotter paper, while low humidity aggravates
problems with static electricity.

See

Figure

2-1.

Figure 2-1. Temperature and Humidity Requirements

Your system has a high resistance to static electricity. However,

if

you have an abnormally high level of

static electricity (25

kV or more -

at

this level, people will probably

be

"sparking" on contact), you may

want to use a humidifier or place a grounded floor

mat

in front of your system. Excessive amounts of

static electricity can cause system failures.

Your computer

is

air-cooled. Fans circulate air through the system and discharge warmer air into the

room. Maintain a minimum of 152 mm

(6

inches) of free space in front of and behind the cabinet to

allow

warm

air to dissipate properly. Place terminals on a hard surface, NOT on a typewriter pad,

so

that

air

can circulate below the terminal.

If

you intend to use your system on weekends,

be

aware

that

the temperature and humidity in your
building may vary from the normal workday conditions. In extreme environments, auxiliary air
conditioning or heating might

be

required to prevent damage to the equipment.

If

you feel

that

it's

necessary,

use

a thermometer and humidity gauge to monitor your site.
