Important Safety Information

WARNING If you have any doubt that you can lift the PC Workstation or display

safely, do not try to move it without help. For your safety, always connect the equipment to a grounded wall outlet. Always use a power cord with a properly grounded plug, such as the one provided with this equipment, or one in compliance with your national regulations. This PC Workstation is disconnected from the power by removing the power cord from the power outlet. This means the PC W orkstation must be located close to a power outlet that is easily accessible. For your safety, never remove the PC Workstation’s cover without first removing the power cord from the power outlet, and any connection to a telecommunications network. Always replace the cover on the PC Workstation before switching it on again. To avoid electric shock, do not open the power supply. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. This HP PC Workstation is a class 1 laser product. Do not attempt to make any adjustment to the laser units.

The battery is a lithium battery which does not contain heavy metals; nevertheless, in order to protect the environment, do not dispose of the batteries in household waste. Please return used batteries to the shop from which you bought them, to the dealer from whom you purchased the PC, or to Hewlett Packard, so that they can either be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally sound way. Returned used batteries will be accepted free of charge.

Connecting to a Network

Your PC Workstation has a 10BT/100TX LAN interface adapter. The LAN adapter supports both 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s operations

and automatically detects which network type is being used. 1 Connect the RJ-45 plug on your network cable to the LAN connector

on the LAN Adapter. Push the plug into the connector until the plug clicks into place.

The board shown here is a combined SCSI/LAN board.

2 Attach the other end of the LAN cable to a hub (or into a wall socket

that is connected to a hub). Let your Network Administrator know that you are connecting your

PC Workstation to the network. For further instructions on configuring your network connection,

refer to “Configuring Your Network Connection” on page 103. Refer also to the online Network Administrator’s Guide

(preloaded onto your PC Workstation) for further instructions on setting up your PC Workstation for a LAN connection.

1 Setting Up and Using Your PC Workstation

Connecting an External SCSI Accessory

Your PC Workstation is equipped with an UltraWide 16-bit SCSI connector for external SCSI devices.

When an external SCSI device is connected, the UltraWide 16-bit SCSI controller automatically switches to non-Ultra mode (maximum capacity of 20 MBs per second).

An external SCSI device is connected as follows: 1 You should assign an unused SCSI address to the accessory. SCSI

addresses range from 0 to 15 for wide 16-bit SCSI. The SCSI address 0 is reserved for the first SCSI hard disk drive and SCSI address 7 is reserved for SCSI controller (the default for narrow and wide SCSI devices).

Refer to the manual provided with the SCSI accessory for instructions on selecting a SCSI address.

NOTE You don’t need to set a SCSI address for Plug and Play SCSI devices

(SCSI devices which support the SCAM protocol). 2 Make sure the SCSI accessory is terminated correctly—either

internally or by a terminating resistor (refer to the manual provided with the SCSI accessory).

Make sure the SCSI accessory is terminated

1 Setting Up and Using Your PC Workstation

Starting and Stopping Your PC Workstation

Starting Your PC Workstation for the First Time

If your PC Workstation has preinstalled software, it is initialized the first time you start the PC Workstation. The software initialization process takes a few minutes. This process sets up the software in your language and sets up your software to use the hardware installed in your computer (you can change the settings after the software has been initialized).

Initializing Your Software

NOTE Do NOT switch OFF the PC Workstation while the software is being

initialized—this could cause unexpected results. To initialize your software:

1 Turn on the display first, and then the PC Workstation.

When the PC Workstation is switched on, the HP PC Workstation’s logo is displayed. The PC Workstation performs a Power-On-SelfTest (POST). Press if you want to view the POST details in the HP Summary Screen (refer to “The HP Summary Screen and Setup Program” on page 101).

If an error is detected during the Power-On-Self-Test, the PC Workstation will automatically display the error. You may be prompted to press to start the Setup program to correct the error.

2 The software initialization routine starts. It displays the software

license agreement, gives you an opportunity to read Working in Comfort (ergonomic advice for computer users), and then asks questions about the PC Workstation. For example:

The name of the person who will use the PC Workstation and your

•

company name. (If necessary, the name of the user can be modified later.)

10 English

crystal.bk : cryst-1.fb4 Page 11 Monday, March 23, 1998 4:09 AM

The current date and time.

•

The type of printer (for example, HP LaserJet 5L). This is shown

•

on the front of the printer. You also need to enter the connection used by the printer.

3 While the initialization program is running, you can complete the

Warranty Registration card that came with this manual.

4 When the initialization routine has finished, click OK and the

PC Workstation will restart.

Creating Back-up Diskettes

It is very important that you create master diskettes for your preloaded application software and as an Emergency Repair Disk for the operating system, as soon as possible. HP recommends that you use new diskettes for this purpose. To create these back-up diskettes, follow the instructions that appear on screen when you first start your PC Workstation.

1 Setting Up and Using Your PC Workstation

Starting and Stopping Your PC Workstation

For more information on how to create these diskettes, refer to the documentation that came with your application software or operating system.

Starting Your PC Workstation

1 Before you start your PC Workstation, first switch on the display. 2 Start your PC Workstation in one of these ways:

Press the power button on the front panel.

•

Press the keyboard space bar.

•

The keyboard power-on feature will work only if Space-bar is enabled in the Power menu of the Setup program (refer to page

101) and the sy stem board switch 8 (KEYB power) is DOWN (the default setting). Refer to page 99 for more information on sy stem board switches.
