8 IBM IntelliStation E Pro Types 6216 and 6226: Installation Guide
Chapter 2. Installing the hardware
This chapter provides instructions for installing the hardware and options in your
computer. This section is for all users, but it is written with the experienced user in
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 approximately 50 mm (2 in.) of space around the
computer for proper air circulation.
Arranging your workspace
To get the most from your computer, arrange both the equipment you use and your
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
on a footrest.
When using the keyboard, keep your forearms parallel to the floor and your wrists
in a neutral, comfortable position. Try to keep a light touch on the keyboard, and
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.
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.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2002 9
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:
v Avoid the use of extension cords. Whenever possible, plug the computer power
cord directly into an electrical outlet.
v 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 68.
Setting the voltage-selection switch
Check the position of the voltage-selection switch beside the power-cord connector.
Use a ballpoint pen to slide the switch, if necessary.
v If the voltage supply range in your location is 90–137 V ac, set the switch to 115
V.
v If the voltage supply range in your location is 180–265 V ac, set the switch to
230 V.
Installing options
This section contains instructions for installing options in your IntelliStation E Pro
computer.
Voltage switch
115
Before you begin
Before you begin to install options in your computer, read the following information:
v Read the handling guidelines in “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 11,
and read the safety statements in “Safety information” on page v. These
guidelines will help you work safely with your computer and options.
10 IBM IntelliStation E Pro Types 6216 and 6226: Installation Guide
v Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical
outlets for your computer, monitor, and other options that you intend to install.
v Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
v Have a small, flat-blade screwdriver available.
v For a list of supported options for your computer, go to

System reliability considerations
To help ensure proper system cooling and system reliability, make sure that:
v Each of the drive bays has a drive or a filler panel and electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) shield installed.
v There is adequate space around the computer to allow the computer cooling
system to work properly. Leave approximately 51 mm (2 in.) of open space
around the front and rear of the computer. Do not place objects in front of the
fans.
v You have followed the instructions for cabling provided with optional adapters.
v You have replaced a failed fan as soon as possible.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To
avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until
you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.
v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the system unit for at least 2 seconds. (This drains static electricity
from the package and from your body.)
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit
without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it in its
static-protective package. Do not place the device on your system unit cover or
on a metal table.
v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather; heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
