SAFETY AND REGULATORY NOTICES
Electrical
The computer uses a safety ground and must be earthed.
The system unit AC power cord is its ‘disconnect device’. Ensure that the
system unit is positioned close to the AC power outlet and that the plug is
easily accessible. The power cord packed with the computer complies with
the safety standards applicable in the country in which it is first sold. Use
only this power cord. Do not substitute a power cord from any other
equipment.
To prevent fire and electric shock, do not expose any part of the computer
to rain or moisture and turn off the computer and unplug all power cords
before moving or cleaning the system unit, or removing any system cover.
Battery
This product contains a lithium battery:
Do not use a metal or other conductive implement to remove the battery. If
a short-circuit is made between its positive and negative terminals the
battery may explode.
Replace a discharged configuration (CMOS) battery with one of the same
type. Dispose of the battery in accordance with the battery manufacturer's
recommended instructions. Do not attempt to recharge, disassemble or
incinerate the discharged battery. Keep away from children.
Laser products

Procedure
CAUTION
Any ancillary equipment using an AC power supply cable should be earthed.
The power supplies in the computer and the monitor are correct for the
country in which the system is first sold. Do not alter any switch settings
on the rear of the system. If you wish to use the computer in another
country it may not be suitable, contact your supplier or an authorised
Apricot dealer.
♦
Before connecting up any parts of the system, ensure that the AC
supply is switched off or disconnected.
♦
First connect up the keyboard, mouse, monitor signal cable, and
audio cables as appropriate.
♦
Connect up
all
AC cables. (System to supply, system to monitor, all
related peripherals.) Then switch on or connect the AC supply.
♦
Switch on the monitor first, then the computer followed by the
peripherals, such as a printer.
WARNING
The power switch on the front of the computer does not isolate the computer
from the supply. You must unplug the AC supply cable from the computer or
the wall outlet before attempting to remove any covers.
SAFETY AND REGULATORY NOTICES iii
Power Cable Connections - UK ONLY
This equipment is supplied with an AC power lead that has a moulded,
non-removable, 3-pin AC plug.
Always replace the fuse with one of the same type and rating which is BSI
or ASTA approved to BS1362. Always refit the fuse cover, never use the
plug with the fuse cover omitted.
Never substitute a power cord from any other appliance. If you suspect a
fault with the AC power lead, obtain a replacement from your supplier or
authorised maintainer.

System description and installation
Selecting a Site
Choose a site that is:
Clean and as dust free as possible.
♦
Well ventilated and away from sources of heat includ-
♦
ing direct sunlight.
Well away from sources of water or damp.
♦
Stable and protected from sources of vibration or
♦
physical shock.
Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields produced by
♦
electrical devices, such as large air-conditioning units.
Equipped with a properly earthed power outlet within
♦
easy reach.
In regions that are susceptible to electrical storms, it
♦
may also be advisable to plug your system into a surge
suppresser.
Disconnect telecommunication lines to any modem
◊
during an electrical storm.
Power Supply
Checking the Input Voltage Setting
A 200 watt (peak) power supply is integrated into the chassis
to provide power for the motherboard, add-in cards, and
peripheral devices. A switch on the back panel can be used to
set the power supply to operate at:
115 V AC (in the range of 90 - 127 V AC), or
♦
230 V AC (in the range of 180 - 255 V AC)
♦
To verify that your system has the correct setting for your
environment, check the input power selection switch. This
should already be correctly set for the country of sale.

NNOOTTEE
Due to load sharing among the power supply outputs, the
maximum continuous current outputs of all voltages cannot be
achieved simultaneously.
Before Installing Optional Items
Before installing other items, such as drives, add-in cards,
etc., connect a keyboard and a monitor to the system, switch
on and let the power-on self test (POST) run. This will be
followed by initialisation of the pre-installed Operating
System software, during which you will be asked to enter
personal registration details.
Once this has been fully completed, you can shut down the
operating software, turn the power off, then install any
drives, add-in cards, or upgrades, the instructions for which
are given in the following chapters.
This is to allow ‘Plug and Play’ add-in cards and their special
features to be correctly detected and configured.
1/6 LS700 HANDBOOK
System description and installation
Secondary Fan Specifications
This chassis has been tested for adherence to thermal
specifications using a single system fan and a full
complement of typical add-in cards and peripherals.
Because the power and cooling requirements for add-in card
components vary widely, this testing cannot guarantee that
every add-in card will meet its particular thermal
requirements in all possible system configurations.
If you integrate the system with add-in cards that draw
significant power, it is recommended that you install a front
cooling fan. If you add a secondary fan, it must meet these
specifications. Full installation information can be found in
chapter 2. Suitable fans can be obtained from your Apricot
supplier.

Auxiliary Speaker Specifications
Some systems will be supplied with only a simple ‘beep’
speaker fitted to the motherboard. If you add an auxiliary
speaker, it must meet these specifications. Full installation
information can be found in chapter 2.

2CHASSIS AND
COMPONENTS
This chapter describes how to take apart and reassemble the
chassis and the major components.
Before You Begin
Be sure to do each procedure in the correct order.
♦
Set up an equipment log to record the computer’s
♦
model and serial numbers, all installed options, and
other information about the computer. If you need this
information, it will be easier to consult the log than to
open up and examine the computer.
Observe antistatic precautions at all times whenever any
♦
cover is removed and while handling any components.
Information and guidance on antistatic precautions
◊
can be found in the appendix at the rear of this
handbook.
You will need a Phillips (#2 bit) and a flatblade
♦
screwdriver.
Turn the computer power off by pressing the power
♦
control button.
Unplug the AC power cord from the back of the
♦
chassis.
Turn off and disconnect all peripheral devices
♦
connected to the computer, e.g. printer or modem.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
The power supply in this computer contains no user-serviceable
parts. To avoid personal injury or damage to your equipment,
refer repair or replacement of the power supply to qualified
technical personnel only.
