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.

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 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

http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ on the World Wide Web.

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.

Working with adapters

Your computer has three PCI adapter connectors or slots and one AGP adapter slot. The AGP video adapter is installed in the AGP slot. All PCI slots are 32-bit, 33 MHz slots.

See “System board” on page 13 for the location of the expansion slots on the system board.

Adapter considerations: Before you install adapters, review the following:

v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those

instructions in addition to the instructions provided in this chapter. If you need to change switch or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter.

v You can install low-profile adapters in all three PCI slots.

v Your computer supports 5.0 V and universal PCI adapters; it does not support

3.3 V adapters.

v Your computer uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters.

Because of this technique, you can install a variety of PCI adapters that currently do not support PCI interrupt sharing.

v PCI slots 1 through 3 are on PCI bus 0.

The system scans the AGP slot and PCI expansion slots 1 through 3 to assign system resources; then, the system starts the PCI devices in the following order: PCI expansion slots 1 and 2, system board integrated drive electronics (IDE) or SCSI devices, and then PCI expansion slot 3.
