Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to make sure that your computer provides service with
excellent reliability:
• The installation site must have sufficient power.
ATTENTION: To maintain an electrically safe installation, AC powered
computers must be plugged into a grounded outlet.
• In dry environments, static charges can build up easily. A properly
grounded computer helps to reduce static discharges, which can cause
shock and damage electronic components.
• The enclosure must allow sufficient space around air inlets and outlets to
provide the circulation necessary for cooling. See Mounting Clearance
Requirements on page 22 for further information. Never allow air passages
to become obstructed.
• The ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum operating
temperature that is specified in
supplied
in the enclosure.
fan, heat exchanger, or air conditioner for heat from other devices
Hot air rises. The temperature at the top of the enclosure is often
higher than the temperature in other parts of the enclosure, especially
when air does not circulate.

Connect Power
A grounded, 3-prong IEC60320-C13 power cord provides power to the
computer. The power supply input accepts 100…240V AC and is autoranging.
ATT EN TI ON : When you connect power to the computer for the first time, the
following actions occur:
• The default UEFI setting automatically starts the computer after it is plugged
into a power source.
• You must read and accept an End User Setup procedure for computers with a
Windows operating system (requires an external display).
Do not disconnect power from the system until after the Windows Setup
procedure is completed. If power is disconnected during this procedure, it can
result in a corrupted system image.
Operate the computer in an industrial or control room environment, which uses
some form of power isolation from the public low-voltage mains.
ATT EN TI ON : Supply the computer circuit with its own disconnect. Use an
uninterruptible power source (UPS) to help protect against unexpected power
failure or power surges.
Always shut down the Windows operating system before you disconnect power to
the computer to minimize performance degradation and operating system failures.
