1 Preparing for Use
CAUTION
Please take note of the safety information in the "Important notes" chapter.
■Unpacking and Checking the Delivery
It is recommended not to throw away the original packaging material! It may be required for
reshipment at some later date.
●Unpack all the individual parts.
●Check the delivery for damage incurred during transportation.
●Check whether the delivery agrees with the details in the delivery note.
Should you discover that the delivery does not correspond to the delivery note, notify your local
sales outlet immediately.
■Steps for Initial Setup
First-time setup includes the connection of the monitor, mouse and keyboard to the system unit
and the setup of the supplied software.
●External devices
If you have received other devices in addition to your PC (e.g. a printer or a modem), do
not connect these until after the initial installation. The following sections contain a
description of how to connect these external devices: "Connecting external devices to
the serial port" and "Connecting external devices to the parallel port".
●Drives and boards
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".
Perform the following steps in the prescribed order:
1. Decide where you are going to use the PC, and then set it up.
2. Connect the monitor, mouse and keyboard to the PC.
3. Check the rated voltage of the PC and connect it to the mains voltage.
4. Switch the PC on and follow the instructions on the screen.
CHAPTER 1 Washingtons (01-10) 9/12/12, 10:44 AM2

■Setting Up the PC
CAUTION
When installing your PC, give consideration to the recommendations and safety notes.
Set up the PC only in its correct orientation. The points to observe are illustrated on the following
pages.
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.
Do not expose the PC to extreme environmental conditions (see chapter "Technical data") and
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.
■Connect the Monitor, Mouse and Keyboard
The ports for monitor, mouse and keyboard are on the rear and on the front of the system unit.
PS/2 keyboard port / purple PS/2 mouse port / green
Monitor port / blue USB port / black
Connecting the keyboard
Connecting standard keyboard
Use the supplied keyboard cable only.
●Plug the round keyboard cable connector into the port marked with this symbol on the
system unit.

Connecting the mouse
Connecting a PS/2 mouse
●Connect the PS/2 mouse to the PS/2 mouse port on the system unit.
Connecting USB mouse
●Connect the USB mouse to the USB port on the system unit.
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 the PC to the Mains Voltage
1 Notch for inserting the screwdriver
If the power supply of your PC does not have a slide-in or plug-in element for setting the rated
voltage, then your system automatically sets itself to the local rated voltage. If you have a PC with
a slide-in or plug-in element, then you must match the set rated voltage to the local rated voltage.
Check the voltage setting.
CAUTION
Devices with main power switch:
The value indicated with an arrow must be compatible with the local rated voltage:
• 115 = 100 V to 127 V
• 230 = 200 V to 240 V
If the voltage setting is incorrect, then lift out the manual voltage adjuster with a screwdriver (1),
turn it to the required setting and reinsert it.
Devices without main power switch:
The visible value must agree with the local mains voltage:
• 115 = 100 V to 127 V
• 230 = 200 V to 240 V
Ifan incorrect mains voltage is set, push the slide switch allthe way into the other possible position
with a pointed object.
