Your Esprimo P...
Overview
... is available in various configurations that differ in terms of hardware and software. You can
incorporate accessible drives (for example a DVD drive) as well as 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. The illustrations shown below
may differ slightly from your actual model. Please also read the notes about your operating system.
Depending on the configuration selected, the operating system is preinstalled
on your hard disk (e.g. Windows 7).
Your device has a number of security features to ensure that no unauthorised persons can access
your data. The security functions in the BIOS Setup also allow you to protect your data by means of
passwords. In addition, systems with a SmartCard reader offer additional protection.
DeskUpdate allows you under some operating systems to easily and quickly install the latest
drivers and operating system extensions with a few mouse clicks.
DeskUpdate is contained on the "Drivers & Utilities " DVD. Further information on this device is provided:
• in the poster "Getting Started"
• in the "Safety" manual
• in the "Warranty" manual
• in the operating manual for the monitor
• in the manual for the mainboard
• in your operating system documentation
• 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. You can of course also
print out a copy of the manual if you prefer.

In this chapter you will find information regarding safety which it is essential to
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 specification", Page 45 as well
as the instructions in Chapter "Getting started", Page 11.
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 11).
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 "Replacing the lithium battery", Page 44.
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,Tran sportation 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.
Fujitsu Technology Solutions 7

Important notes
Cleaning the device
Device,Trans portati onRetransportationSystemu nit, see Device
Turn off all power and equipment switches and disconnect the power
plug from the mains outlet.
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.

Steps for initial setup
Preparingf orfirstuse, overviewPreparing foruse,
Only a few steps are necessary to put your new device into operation for the first time:
• Select a location for device and set up device
• Connecting external devices
• Check the voltage at the mains outlet and connect the device to an electrical outlet
• Switch the device on
You will learn more about the individual steps in the following sections.
External devices
If you have received other external devices in addition to your own device (e.g.
a printer), do not connect these until after the initial installation. The following
sections describe how to connect these external devices.

If you have received drives or boards with your device, please do not install
them until after first-time setup. How to install drives and boards is described
in the "System expansions", Page 30 chapter.
Fujitsu Technology Solutions 11

Getting started
Setting up the device
Workstati onErgonomicDevice
When setting up your device, please read the recommendations and
safety notes in the "Safety" manual.
We recommend that you place your device on a surface which is not slippery. In
view of the many different finishes and varnishes used on furniture, it is possible
that the rubber feet will mark the surface they stand on.
Depending on the location of your device, troublesome 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 order to avoid overheating, do not cover the ventilation areas
of the monitor or the device.
Do not stack several devices on top of each other.
Do not expose the device to extreme ambient conditions (see "Technical
specification", Page 45, section "Ambient conditions"). Protect the
device against dust, humidity and heat.
Operating position
Use the device only in the vertical operating position.

You can change the port settings (e.g. address, interrupt) in the BIOS Setup.
Device drivers
Deviced rivers,
The devices connected to the serial interface require drivers. Your operating system
already includes many drivers. If the required drive is missing, install it. The latest
drivers are usually available on the Internet or will be supplied on a data carrier.
Connecting external devices to the USB ports
USBdevices,USBport,Externaldevices,Devices,
You can connect a wide range of external devices to the USB ports (e.g.
printer, scanner, modem or keyboard).
USB devices are hot-pluggable. This means you can connect and disconnect
USB cables while your device is switched on.
Additional information can be found in the documentation for the USB devices.
►Connect the data cable to the external device.
►Connect the data cable to one of the USB ports on your device.
Device drivers
The external USB devices you connect to the USB ports usually require no
driver of their own, as the required software is already included in the operating
system. However, if the external USB device requires its own software, please
install it from the data carrier provided with the USB device.
To ensure the transmission capacity of USB 2.0, the cable from the external USB
device to the USB port of your device must not be longer than 3 m.
