backplanes must be installed into the RPC-6106/6108 Rackmount LCD
Workstation. Follow proper grounding procedures before installing these
components.
4.1.2 Installation Prerequisites
Prepare the following before installing the RPC-6106/6108 Rackmount LCD Workstation:
Completely installed CPU card: The RPC-6106/6108 Rackmount LCD
Workstation CPU card is separately purchased. Before installing the
RPC-6106/6108 Rackmount LCD Workst ation, a CPU card should be
properly installed. The following components may also have to be installed
Page 16
(refer to the user manual that came with the CPU card):
o CPU
o Heatsink and cooling fan
RPC-6106/6108 Rackmount LCD Workstation
o Memory modules (DIMMs)
o CompactFlash
Backplane/Motherboard: The backplane or motherboard installed in the
RPC-6106/6108 Rackmount LCD Workst at ion is separately purchased.
Disk Drives: Disk drives installed into the RPC-6106/6108 Rackmount LCD
Workstation are separately purchased. Disk drive support is CPU card
dependent. Before purchasing a CPU card or disk drives, please check the
CPU card disk drive support.

4.2 Unpacking
4.2.1 Packaging
When shipped, the RPC-6106/6108 Rackmount LCD Workstation is wrapped in a plastic
bag. Two polystyrene ends are placed on either side of the RPC-6106/6108 Rackmount
LCD Workstation. The workstation is then placed into a first (internal) cardboard box. This
box is then sealed and placed into a second (external) cardboard box. The second box is
also sealed. A small box containing accessory items is placed within the internal (first)
box.
4.2.2 Unpacking Procedure
To unpack the RPC-6106/6108 Rackmount LCD Workstation, follow the steps below:
NOTE:
The front side LCD screen has a protective plastic cover stuck to the screen.
Remove the plastic cover only after the RPC-6106/6108 Rackmount LCD
Workstation has been properly installed. This ensures the screen is protected
during the installation process.
Page 17
RPC-6106/6108 Rackmount LCD Workstation
Step 1: Use box cutters, a knife or a sharp pair of scissors to open the top of the external
(second) box.
Step 2: Open the external (second) box.
Step 3: Use box cutters, a knife or a sharp pair of sci ssors to o pen the top of the intern al
(first) box.
Step 4: Lift the workstation out of the boxes.
Step 5: Remove both polystyrene ends from each side.
Step 6: Pull the plastic cover off the workstation.
Step 7: Make sure all the components listed in the pa cking list are present.

4.3 Pre-installation Preparation
4.3.1 System Planning
User supplied CPU cards and backplanes or motherboards need to be installed in the
system before installing the RPC-6106/6108 Rackmount LCD Workstation.
The backplane determines the following system parameters:
CPU card type
Expandability
The CPU card determines the following system parameters:
CPU
Embedded graphics
System memory
HDD, FDD and optical drive connectivity and capacity
Speed
It is therefore proper to correctly specify the system before the system is installed. This
ensures that prudent selections can be made when the system is being developed.
Page 20
RPC-6106/6108 Rackmount LCD Workstation
