Line-out connector (green)
This connector sends stereo audio signals from the computer to external
devices, such as speakers with built-in amplifiers, headphones, or the audio
line-in jack on a stereo system.
Microphone connector (pink)
This connector is used to connect a microphone to record voice or other
sounds on the hard disk. You can also use this connector (and a
microphone) with speech recognition software.
Power-control button
Press this button to turn the computer on and off manually. You can install a
circular disk, called the power-control button shield, over the power-control
button to prevent accidental manual power-off. This disk is provided with
your computer.
Power-on LED
When this LED is lit and does not flash, it indicates that the computer is
turned on. When this LED is flashing, it indicates that the computer is off
and still connected to an ac power source (standby mode).
System error LED
When this LED is lit, it indicates that a system error has occurred. An LED
the system board might also be lit to help isolate the error. See
“System-board error LEDs” on page 57 for additional information. Detailed
troubleshooting information is in the User’s Guide on the IBM IntelliStation
Documentation CD.

Chapter 2. Installing the hardware
This chapter provides instructions to help you install the hardware and options in
your computer. This section is for all users, but is written with the experienced user
mind. If you need more detailed installation information for options, see the
User’s Guide on the IBM IntelliStation Documentation CD.
Selecting a location for your computer
Make sure you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for
the computer, monitor, and any other devices. Select a location for the computer
where it will remain dry. Leave about 50 mm (2 in.) of space around the computer
for proper air circulation. For information about arranging your computer and
ease-of-use, see the following sections.
Arranging your workspace
work area to suit your needs and the kind of work you do. Your comfort is of
foremost importance, but light sources, air circulation, and the location of electrical
outlets can also affect the way you arrange your workspace.
Comfort
The following guidelines will help you decide what working position suits you best.
Choose a chair to reduce fatigue from sitting in the same position for long periods.
The backrest and seat should adjust independently and provide good support. The
seat should have a curved front to relieve pressure on the thighs. Adjust the seat so
that your thighs are parallel to the floor and your feet are either flat on the floor, or
When using the keyboard, keep your forearms parallel to the floor and your wrists
your hands and fingers relaxed. Change the angle of the keyboard for maximum
comfort by adjusting the position of the keyboard feet.
Adjust the monitor so that the top of the screen is at, or slightly below, eye level.
Place the monitor at a comfortable viewing distance, usually 51 to 61 cm (20 to 24
in.), and position it so that you can view it without having to twist your body.
Glare and lighting
Position the monitor to minimize glare and reflections from overhead lights,
windows, and other light sources. Place the monitor at right angles to light sources
whenever possible. Reduce overhead lighting, if necessary, by turning off lights or
using lower wattage bulbs. If you install the monitor near a window, use curtains or
blinds to block the sunlight. You might have to adjust the Brightness and Contrast
controls on the monitor as the lighting changes throughout the day.

footrest.
neutral, comfortable position. Try to keep a light touch on the keyboard, and

Where it is impossible to avoid reflections or to adjust the lighting, place an
antiglare filter over the screen. However, these filters might affect the clarity of the
screen image; try them only after you have exhausted other methods of reducing
glare.

Dust compounds problems associated with glare. Clean your monitor screen
periodically using a soft cloth moistened with a nonabrasive, liquid glass cleaner.
Air circulation
Your computer and monitor produce heat. The computer fan pulls in fresh air and
forces out hot air. The monitor lets hot air escape through vents. Blocking the air
vents can cause overheating, possibly resulting in malfunction or damage. Place the
computer and monitor so that nothing blocks the air vents; usually 51 mm (2 in.) of
air space is sufficient. Also, make sure the vented air is not blowing on someone
else.
Electrical outlets and cable lengths
The location of electrical outlets and the length of device power cords and cables
might determine the final placement of your computer.
When arranging your work space:
Avoid the use of extension cords. Whenever possible, plug the computer power
cord directly into an electrical outlet.
Keep power cords and cables neatly routed away from walkways and other areas
where they might be accidentally dislodged.
For more information about power cords, see “Power cords” on page 82
Installing options
This section contains instructions that will help you to install hardware options in
your IntelliStation Z Pro computer. This section is for all users, but it is written with
the experienced user in mind. If you need more detailed installation information, see
the User’s Guide on the IBM IntelliStation Documentation CD.
