Operational Safety

Please read this chapter carefully and observe all listed notes.
This ensures a reliable operation and long life expectancy of your PC.

• Do not allow children to play unattended with electrical equipment. Chil-
dren are incapable of judging potential risks properly.

• Keep the packing materials, such as plastic sheeting away from children. The
danger of suffocation could arise in the case of misuse.

• Do not open the PC casing or use the PC with the casing removed. When
the casing is open there is a danger to life from electric shock.

• Optical drives are Laser Class 1 devices. These lasers must remain in their
sealed PC casing. Do not remove the drive covers, as exposure to the lasers
may prove harmful.

• Do not insert objects through the slots and openings of the PC. This may
lead to electric shock, electrical short-circuit or fire that will damage your PC.

• Do not cover the slots and openings in the PC casing. These openings are for
ventilation purposes. Covering these vents may lead to overheating. Please
keep free a minimum distance of 20 cm on all sides when setting up the PC.

Switch off your PC immediately or do not switch it on at all and contact cus­tomer service …

• … if the power cord or the connectors attached to it are burnt or damaged.
Replace the defective power cord with an original power cord. Under no cir­cumstances may a defective power cord be repaired.

• ... if the housing of the PC is damaged or fluids have leaked into it. Have the
PC checked by customer service first, because the PC may not be safely op­erated otherwise and there may be a life-threatening risk of electrocution!

Setting Up

Remember that choosing the proper location for your PC is just as important as
connecting it correctly.

Set-up Location

• Keep your PC and all units connected to it away from moisture, dust, heat
and direct sunlight. Failure to observe these instructions can lead to mal­functions or damage to the PC.

• To prevent damage to your PC from a fall, place and operate the PC and all
connected units on a stable, balanced and vibration-free surface.

• Your PC is not suitable for use at video workstation devices in the sense of §2
of the video workstation regulation.

Ambient Temperature

• The PC can be operated at an ambient temperature of
between 10° and 35°C (+41° and +95°F) and at a relative humidity of be­tween 30% and 70% (without condensation).

• When powered off, the PC can be stored at temperatures between -20° and
50°C (–40° and +158°F).

• Unplug the cable during thunderstorms and make especially sure to remove
the antenna cables, if present. We recommend the use of a surge protector
for additional safety, in order to protect your PC from being damaged by
power peaks or lightning strikes through the power network.

• Delay operating a PC after transport until the device has adjusted to the am-
bient temperature. In situations of large temperature or humidity differences
condensation may build up moisture inside the PC, which might cause an
electrical short circuit.

Ergonomics

Note

Ensure that the monitor is set up in such a way that reflections,
glare and light/darkness contrast are avoided.

You should not position the monitor in close proximity to a window as this is usu­ally the brightest area of the room and may cause visual impairments during day­light hours.

Always position the monitor in a line of sight that runs parallel to the window front
(see picture).

You should also apply a parallel line of sight with respect to artificial lighting. This
means that in a room lit by artificial light essentially the same criteria and objectives
apply. Should it not be possible to arrange the monitor as outlined above, the fol­lowing measures might be helpful:

• Turn, lower or incline the monitor.

• Place horizontal or vertical shades at the windows.

• Working in Comfort

Safety Connecting Operation Help Appendix

Note

Take regular breaks from the work at your screen to prevent tense­ness and exhaustion.

Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize the
potential for physical discomfort or injury, it’s important that you maintain proper
posture.

Overall:
Change your position frequently and take regular breaks to avoid fatigue.

Back:
While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is supported by the chair’s
backrest in erect position or angled slightly backwards.

Legs:
Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly downward. Your lower legs
should be near a right angle to your thighs. Your feet should rest flat on the floor. If
necessary, use a footrest, but double check that you have your seat height adjusted
correctly before getting a footrest.

Arms:
Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows close to your sides, with forearms
and hands approximately parallel to the floor.

Wrists:
Your wrists should be as straight as possible while using the keyboard, mouse or
trackball. They should not be bent sideways, or more than 10 degrees up or down.

Head:
Your head should be upright or tilted slightly forward. Avoid working with your
head or neck twisted.

Connecting

For a better guidance, open up the left inner page of the cover with the
diagrams to find the location of the described connections.

Note:

The devices listed are not necessarily included with your PC.
All the connections listed are optional and will not inevitably be
available on your PC.

Cabling

Please follow the instructions below in order to correctly connect your PC:

• Arrange cables in such a way that no one can tread on or trip over them.

• Do not place objects on the cables.

• To avoid damage to your PC, connect your peripherals (e.g., keyboard,

mouse and monitor) whilst your PC is powered off. Some devices can be
connected whilst your PC is in use. These devices usually have a USB or IEEE
1394 connector. Please follow the appropriate instructions for each device.

• Keep the PC at least one meter (approximately three feet) away from high
frequency and magnetic interference sources (e.g., televisions, loudspeaker
cabinets, mobile telephones, etc.) in order to avoid malfunctions and/or loss
of data.

• Please note that only shielded cables shorter than 3 metres (9.84 ft) should
be used for the external interfaces. Please only use doubly shielded cable in
the case of printer cables.

• Do not replace the cables supplied with the machine by any others. Use the
cables belonging to the scope of the delivery exclusively, because they will
have been tested extensively in our laboratories.

• Also only use the connection cable supplied with the devices for the connec-
tion of your peripheral devices.

• Make sure that all connection cables have been connected to the peripheral
devices associated with them, in order to avoid disruptive radiation. Remove
unneeded cables.

• The connection of devices is limited to equipment that complies with
EN60950 “Safety of information technology equipment” or EN60065 “Au­dio, video and similar electronic apparatus. Safety requirements”.

UK/ N. IRELAND HELPLINE 0870 7270370
REP. IRELAND HELPLINE 1-800-992508

• In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical, unavoidable
but completely harmless smell, which will decline increasingly in the course
of time.
We recommend you to ventilate the room regularly, in order to counteract
the formation of the smell. During the development of this product, we have
made sure that the applicable limits are clearly fallen below.

Note

You only need to connect those components to your computer you
require. If you do not have the described device (e. g. printer) you
may skip the respective item and carry it out later, if necessary.

USB/IEEE 1394

Warning!

Connect your USB-/IEEE 1394 devices after initial set-up of your
new PC. This will prevent unnecessary confusion during installation.
These devices can generally be connected during operation. Read the
manual for your peripheral device first.

The voltage outputs of your PC for IEEE 1394 as well as for USB are protected by a
fuse (limited power source according to EN60950). This ensures that a malfunction
of the PC will not damage the peripheral devices connected to the respective jacks.

Connecting IEEE 1394 (Fire Wire) Devices

Note

Peripheral devices can have different connecting cables (6-pole,
4-pole ). Please check what kind of cable you need for your periph­eral device.

Important

The connectors of the front side are not configured for parallel use.

Connecting USB Devices

Note

Connect your devices always to the same port otherwise your operat­ing system will give a new ID and asks for driver installation.
