Installing Your System
Introduction 1
This manual covers the installation of all Series 300 computers, as well as their monitors
and keyboards.
For
the purpose of consistency, the computers will be referred to by their product number
only. The term, "the computer" will be used when referring to any of the various models.
Getting Started
Your new computer has just arrived. You're looking for some easy instructions to get
it set up and running, and you've turned to this reference for help. You've come to the
right place.
Before you proceed,
we want to address a few preconceptions you may have about
computer documentation. Yes, we know that you may be less than enthusiastic about
reading this reference. You're concerned that you'll have to read for hours before you can
finally put the book down and actually do something with your computer. Or perhaps
you're afraid that we'll presume you have a Ph.D. in electrical engineering, give you a
schematic of the computer, and tell you to figure it out for yourself.
Forget it.
That's not going to happen here. This reference tells you how to put your
computer system together and turn it on. When you're finished with this manual, you'll
be ready to load and use your operating system or applications program.

System 1

How This Reference Is Organized
This reference has two chapters. Please read them in order, performing the installation
procedures as you
go.
Chapter 1 - Installing Your System. The section you're now reading tells you how
your installation guide
is organized. The rest of the chapter explains how to install
your system.
It expands on the procedure in the Installation Card, and deals with any
problems.
Chapter 2 - Reading The Self-Test. This chapter tells you how to turn on your computer
system and read and interpret the self-test messages.
Reference.
This section contains information that you don't normally need for installa-
tion, but that may be valuable at a later date or for tutorial purposes. You are referred
to this section from the main body of the guide where appropriate.
Glossary. This section contains definitions of terms used in this reference.
Add-on Accessories.
If you purchase add-on accessories after your system is installed,
you will install
them yourself. Store the installation instructions in this section. Those
accessories which you purchase
with the system will be installed at the factory.
