in front of and behind the base unit.
u
Do not operate the base unit on its side.
u
Do not expose the system to high levels of dust, smoke, or moisture.
u
The location should maintain a temperature range of 10 °C to 26 °C (50 °F to 80 °F); the
optimum operating temperature is 21 °C (70 °F).
u
The location should maintain a humidity range from 20 percent to 80 percent non-
condensing; the optimum humidity level is 50 percent.

Set Computing (RISC)- and Intel-based systems. When installing Windows NT distribution
files, make sure to install them from the \i
386 directory (the Intel software directory) on the
delivery media. For example, if you are installing a device driver from the Windows NT
CD-ROM, key in the following when asked for the path to the file, where drive is the drive

Going Through Operating System Setup
The first time you start the system, operating system Setup begins. Early in the Setup process,
an End-User License Agreement displays. After reviewing and accepting the terms of the
agreement, follow the instructions to continue Setup. As you go through Setup, accept the
default settings except as noted in the following text.
On a system running Windows NT or Wi ndows 95:
u
Allow Setup to configure the network only if the system has an installed network adapter,
and only if the system is connected to the network.
u
When prompted to create an Emergency Repair Disk (Windows NT) or a Startup diskette
(Windows 95), do so.
u
If you do not set up a user account during Setup, press ENTER or select OK at the logon
dialog to log on to the operating system.
On a system running Windows NT:

On a system shipped from the factory without a CD-ROM drive, the system’s hard disk
drive contains Windows NT Setup files in the
or video display adapter drivers, you can see the i
location of Windows NT Setup files. If you delete the i
hard disk, you must have access to a Windows NT CD-ROM to use Windows NT Setup
files.

On a system running Windows 95:
u
While Windows 95 files are being copied to the system, you are prompted for the
Windows 95 Setup boot diskette. This occurs even if the Windows 95 Setup boot
diskette is already inserted in the floppy disk drive. Select OK to continue.
u
During Setup, you are notified that a CD-ROM driver file (such as CDROMDRV.SYS or
M230.SYS) could not be found on the Windows 95 setup boot diskette. In the dialog that
displays, specify that the file should be copied from the diskette in the system’s floppy
disk drive (usually a:\), and then select OK.
u
The system’s primary hard disk drive contains Windows 95 Setup files in the
C:\WINDOWS\OPT IONS\CABS directory, as compressed .CAB files. When installing network
or video display adapter drivers, you can use the
location of Windows 95 Setup files. If you delete the
CABS directory when prompted for the
CABS directory from the system’s
primary hard disk drive, you must have access to a Windows 95 CD-ROM to use
Windows 95 Setup files.
For more information on operating system Setup, and on using the interface features of the
operating system, see the operating system documentation and Help.
Finishing System Setup
After operating system Setup is completed, an InterSite Welcome icon (“Press to finish
setup”) displays on the operating system desktop. Double-click this icon, or select
Programs/InterSite/Welcome from the Start menu, to display InterSite Welcome.
InterSite Welcome helps you do the following:
u
Create a repair disk for the operating system.
u
Create backup diskettes of device driver software and other system software products.
u
Learn about Intergraph Computer Systems customer support.
You should take advantage of the tools provided by InterSite Welcome to ensure that your
system is fully ready for use. See InterSite Welcome for more information. Also see the
following sections for information on creating a repair disk and creating backup diskettes.
Creating a Repair Disk
If you did not create an Emergency Repair Disk (Windows NT) or a Startup diskette
(Windows 95) during Setup, use the tools provided by InterSite Welcome to do so. The files
on these diskettes can restore the original contents of a damaged operating system Registry
(that is, at the time the operating system was installed), along with the standard operating
system drivers. You should also update an Emergency Repair Disk or a Startup diskette after
you finish configuring the system.
13
See the operating system documentation and Help for information on creating an Emergency
Repair Disk or a Startup diskette.
Creating System Software Backup Diskettes
Backup diskettes for some device driver software and system software products are not
delivered with the system. Use InterSite Version M a nager, available through InterSite
Welcome, to create system software backup diskettes.
Version Manager lets you create backup diskettes containing device driver software and
system software products that were installed on the system before shipment, and which are not
available on the operating system CD-ROM. You may need these backup diskettes later -- for
example, if you have to reinstall a device driver or the operating system.
WARNING You must create system software backup diskettes after you set up the system
hardware and complete the operating system Setup program. If you do not do this, you
may not be able to reinstall critical system software or the operating system if needed.
14
NOTE You may not have to create backup diskettes for all system software. If Version Manager
does not list drivers or other system software products, they are available on the operating
system software CD-ROM or on backup diskettes delivered with expansion cards.
If the system requires Quick-Fix Engineering (QFE) update software, it is included in the
system software available for backup diskette creation. QFE update software contains fixes
for operating system problems or limitations, and is only shipped with the system if it is
needed. If QFE update software is shipped with the system, you should create a QFE backup
diskette for use if you have to reinstall the operating system.
See Version Manage r Help for information on creating system software backup diskettes.
Visit the Intergraph Computer Systems site on the World Wide Web and vendor bulletin
boards for new and updated drivers.
