ISA slotor4xPCI, 5xISA slotPassiveBackplane.The chassiscomespre-assembled withan
activematrixLCD,LCD controller,powersupply,keyboard,ventilation fansand internal
speaker.Tocompletethe system,you mustadd asystemboard,CPUand peripheraldevices.

Precautions
PowerConnections
UseSupplied PowerCord
The subassemblyisshipped withapowercordcompatiblewiththe ACwall outletinyour
region.
Non-AutosensingPowerSupply
Beforeplugging inthe powercord,examine the powersupplytosee ifyou havean
autosensing ornon-autosensing powersupply.
Autosensing powersuppliesautomaticallyadjusttothe ACconstructed ofmetaland provide
frontimpactprotection foroutletvoltage.If yoursubassemblyisshipped withanon-
autosensing powersupply,therewill be avoltage selectorswitchlocated nearthe ACpower
connector.Makesureit’s settothe appropriatevoltage setting foryourpoweroutlet.
ATXPowerSwitch
The powersupplyshipped withthe ATXchassismayormaynothavean ON/OFF switch.To
powerup yoursystemwherethe powersupplyhasan ON/OFF switch,you mustfirstpress the
switchtothe ONposition and then press the ATXpowerup/downswitchlocated on the frontto
startyoursystem.
The ATXpowerswitchfound on the frontofthe chassisDOES NOTturnoff the AC
power.ToremoveACpowerfromyoursystem,you mustunplug the ACpower
cordfromthe ACoutletorthe chassis.
Ventilation
The chassiscomeswiththree intakefansand one powersupplyexhaustfan providing
cooling and airflow.When operating the system,neverblock anyventilation openings.Always
leaveenough roomaround the chassistoallowadequateairflow.
CarefortheLCD
The chassiscomeswithapre-assembled activematrixLCD.Liquidcrystaldisplays are
made ofglass whichwill breakorcrack ifmishandled.During systemassembly,keep the
keyboardlatched tothe chassis.The keyboardhousing isconstructed ofmetaland provides
frontimpactprotection forthe LCD during transportation.
