Your ESPRIMO C
Overview
... is available with various configuration levels which differ in terms of hardware and software.
You can install accessible drives (for example a DVD drive) and other modules.
This manual tells you how to start using your device and how to operate it in daily use.
This manual applies for all configuration levels. Depending on the chosen configuration
level, some of the hardware components described may not be available on your PC.
Please also observe the notes on your operating system.
Depending on the configuration selected, the operating system is preinstalled
on your hard disk (e.g. Windows Vista).
Your device has a number of security features to ensure that no unauthorized persons can
access your data. You can lock your device mechanically. The security functions in the BIOS
Setup also allow you to protect access to your data, e.g. by assigning password protection.
In addition, systems with a SmartCard reader offer additional protection.
With certain operating systems, DeskUpdate offers a simple and fast way to install
the latest drivers and operating system upgrades using just a few mouse clicks.
DeskUpdate is included on the "Drivers & Utilities" DVD.
Further information on this device is also provided:
• in the "Getting Started" poster
• in the "Safety" manual
• in the "Warranty" manual
• in the operating manual for the monitor
• in the manual for the mainboard
• in the documentation for your operating system
• in the information files (e.g. *.PDF, *.HTML, *.DOC, *.CHM, *.TXT, *.HLP)
Some of the manuals listed can be found in electronic form on the "Drivers & Utilities" DVD.
You can access and view the required information using the Acrobat Reader
program, which is also included on the DVD. It is of course also possible
to print out a copy of the manual if required.

take note of when working with your device.
Safety information
SafetyinformationNote
Pay attention to the information provided in the "Safety" manual
and in the following safety notes.
When installing and operating the device, please observe the notes on
environmental conditions in Chapter "Technical data", Page 47 as well as
the instructions in Chapter "Getting started", Page 6.
When setting up the device, make sure there is clearance all around it so that
the casing receives enough ventilation. In order to avoid overheating, do not
cover the ventilation areas of the monitor or the device.
You must only operate the device if the rated voltage used by the
device is set to the local mains voltage.
Check the rated voltage set for this device (see "Getting started", Page 6).
The main switch (if present) and the ON/OFF switch do not disconnect the
device from the mains voltage. To completely disconnect from the mains
voltage, remove the power plug from the power socket.
Replace the lithium battery on the mainboard in accordance with the instructions
in the "Replacing the lithium battery", Page 46 chapter.
Caution, components in the system can get very hot.
The activities described in these instructions must always be
performed with the greatest care.
Repairs to the device must only be carried out by qualified technicians. Incorrect
repairs could put the user at great risk (electric shock, hazardous energy emissions,
risk of fire) or cause serious damage to the equipment.
Transporting the device
Device,Trans portation Retransportation
Transport all parts separately in their original packaging or in a packaging which
protects them from knocks and jolts, to the new site.
Do not unpack them until all transportation manoeuvres are completed.
If the device is brought from a cold environment into the room where it will be used,
condensation may occur. Before operating the device, wait until it is absolutely dry
and has reached approximately the same temperature as the installation site.
A26361-K1002-Z220-1-7619, edition 2 3

Important notes
Cleaning the device
Device,Transpo rtationRetransportationSystemunit, see Devi ce
Turn off all power and equipment switches and remove the power
plug from the mains supply.
Do not clean any interior parts yourself, leave this job to a service technician.
Do not use any cleaning agents that contain abrasives or may corrode
plastic (alcohol, thinner or acetone).
Never clean the device with water! Water entering into the device could
present a serious risk to users (e.g. electric shock).
Ensure that no liquid enters the system.
The surface can be cleaned with a dry cloth. If particularly dirty, use a cloth that has been
moistened in mild domestic detergent and then carefully wrung out.
Use disinfectant wipes to clean the keyboard and the mouse.

Getting started
Settingupthedevice
WorkstationErgonomicDevice
When installing your device, please read the recommendations and
safety notes in the "Safety" manual.
Only install the device in the operating positions for which it is intended.
We recommend that you place your device 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 will mark the surface they stand on.
Do not expose the device to extreme environmental conditions (see "Technical
data", Page 47). Protect the device against dust, humidity and heat.
Make sure that the device is adequately ventilated.
In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the ventilation area of the monitor or the device.
Do not stack several devices on top of each other.
If you place a monitor on the device, it may weigh a maximum of 25 kg. Make
sure that you do not block any ventilation slots on the device.
Depending on the location of your device, bothersome vibrations and noises
may occur. To prevent this, a distance of at least 10 mm should be maintained
from other devices on casing sides without ventilation surfaces.
In addition, we recommend placing the device on support feet, as these buffer vibrations.
You can use the device in a vertical or horizontal operating position.
A26361-K1002-Z220-1-7619, edition 2 7

Getting started
Vertical operating position (optional)
Proceed as follows to operate the device in the vertical operating position:
