If you have received drives or boards with your PC, please do not install them until
after first-time setup. How to install drives and boards is described in the chapter
"System expansions".
Setting up the PC
!When installing your PC, give consideration to the recommendations and safety notes in
the manual "Safety, Guarantee and Ergonomics".
Set up the PC only in its correct orientation. The points to observe are illustrated on the
following pages.
Do not expose the PC to extreme environmental conditions (see chapter "Technical
data"). Protect it from dust, humidity and heat.
Provide at least 200 mm of clearance on the left, in front of and behind the ventilator area
of the system unit to ensure adequate ventilation. Do not cover the ventilation areas of the
monitor and the system unit.
Do not place several system units one above the other.
We recommend that you place your equipment on a surface with good anti-slip qualities. In view of
the multitude of different finishes and varnishes used on furniture, it is possible that the rubber feet
of the devices will mark the surface they stand on.

Preparation for use and operation Connecting devices
10 A26361-K622-Z100-1-7619
Connecting devices
!The power plug must be disconnected!
Do not connect or disconnect cables during a thunderstorm (electric shock).

plug or socket)!
i
Read the documentation on the external device before connecting it.
Connect and disconnect the cables in the order described below.
Connecting cables
•Turn off all power and equipment switches.
•Unplug all power plugs from the grounded power outlets.
•Connect all cables at the system unit and peripherals. You must observe the information
provided in the chapter "Important notes".
•Plug all data communication cables into the utility sockets.
•Plug all power cables into the grounded power outlets.
Disconnecting cables

Ports for external devices
The ports for external devices are on the rear of the system unit. The ports available on your device
depend on the configuration level you have selected. The standard ports are marked with symbols
like those below or similar symbols. Exact details of the position of the ports are supplied in the
Technical Manuals for the boards.
Example for the icons and color coding of connections
Keyboard port / purple PS/2 mouse port / green

Some of the devices that you connect require special drivers (see the documentation for
the connected device and for the operating system).

Preparation for use and operation Connecting devices
12 A26361-K622-Z100-1-7619
Connecting the keyboard
i
Use only the keyboard cable supplied.
Ê Plug the round plug of the keyboard cable
into the keyboard port on the system unit.
Ê Plug the other connector of the keyboard
cable into the socket on the underside of
the keyboard.
Connecting the mouse
Ê Plug the connector of the mouse cable into the mouse port.
i
If you do not attach a mouse at the PS/2 mouse port, you can disable the mouse
controller in the BIOS Setup in order to free the IRQ12 for a different application.
Connecting devices with serial or parallel port
Ê Connect the data cable to the external device.
Ê Connect the data cable of the external device to the appropriate port on the system unit.
i
Most devices that you connect to the serial or parallel port require special drivers. Your
operating system already includes many drivers . But if the driver you need is not on the
hard disk please install it from the floppy disk supplied with the device or with the
application program.
If you need to change the default settings of the serial or parallel port (e. g. address,
interrupt), you can do so in the BIOS Setup. The default setting for the interfaces are
described in the Technical Manual for the system board or in the "BIOS Setup" manual.
