Inspecting the Shipment
MaxPac systems are packaged to withstand the roughest of treatment during shipping. Any boxes,
foam core padding, and anti-static bags should be stored safely away in case you need to ship the
system for any reason in the future. Inspect the box the system arrived in. If there is any unusual
damage to the box, make note of the damage on the delivery form and contact MaxVision support
(see Appendix D for more details).

MaxPac S-Class Single/Dual-Display 9210 SRA1/2-Series User Operation and Maintenance Guide 3
Unpacking the System
MaxPac 9210 systems are always shipped in an associated Pelican case. Depending on the
configuration of your system – one or two displays and one or two disk drives – the Pelican/MaxPac
combination weighs between 38 and 43 lbs (60-65 lbs including the Pelican case). If you are unable
to lift this weight safely, you should obtain assistance in unpacking and moving the system.
1) Place the Pelican case and MaxPac system on the floor. Remove the packing slip from the
outside of the case and save it for later use as discussed below.
2) Clear an area on a desk or table on which to place the MaxPac system.
Note: In order to raise or lower the handle on the Pelican case, use your thumb to slide the release
catch to the right (if looking toward the back of the case as shown in Figure 1-1).
Figure 1-1. Use the release catch to operate the handle on the Pelican case
3) Place the Pelican case flat on its back on the floor and open it (Figure 1-2).
Figure 1-2 Figure 1-3
Figure 1-2. Open the Pelican case containing the MaxPac System
4) Carefully tip the case such that its lid is on the floor as shown in Figure 1-3 (note that the case
was rotated 180ofrom the view shown in Figure 1-2 prior to it being tipped for the purposes of
these photographs).
5) Carefully slide the MaxPac out of the case (Figure 1-4).

4 MaxPac S-Class Single/Dual-Display 9210 SRA1/2-Series User Operation and Maintenance Guide
Note: This process can be GREATLY facilitated by taking hold of the handle on top of the Pelican
case and tilting the case forward towards the lid resting on the floor. This will cause the MaxPac
to gently slide out of the case.
Figure 1-4
Figure 1-5
6) In the case of the MaxPac 9210 SRA2, observe that the keyboard, mouse, power cord, and
documentation package are located in the Pelican case under the system (Figure 1-5). By
comparison, in the case of the MaxPac 9200 SRA1 these items are located in a fabric pouch
attached to the bezel cover of the single display (Figure 1-6).
7) Keeping your back straight, bending at the knees, and using your legs as much as possible, lift
the MaxPac system and place it on the cleared area noted in point (2) above.
8) Stand the MaxPac system upright on the table. For future reference, observe the "Baghdad Filter"
attached to the back of the system (Figure 1-7).
Figure 1-6
Figure 1-7
Check the Packing List and Confirm Documentation
1) Check the packing slip to ensure that everything is as you expect with regard to the main system.
Pay particular attention to any special options you may have requested, such as number of disk
drives, memory upgrades, and custom graphics subsystems.
2) Check the contents of the envelope containing the documentation associated with your system. In
addition to this manual – and also any user guides and manuals associated with special upgrade
options you may have ordered (such as graphics cards) – a basic MacPac 9210 documentation
pack will include:

Setting-Up Your MaxPac (Dual-Display / SRA2)
Location
Your MaxPac 9210 system needs to be positioned in a location with the capacity to safely support
at least 38 to 43 lbs depending on its configuration. The unit should be unobstructed so as to permit
the free flow of cooling air in through the intake filter and out via the exhaust vents.
Power Requirements
MaxPac 9210 power supplies are auto-sensing 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz units. Ensure that the
supplied power is sufficient, stable, and without spikes or surges for operation of your MaxPac and
other required equipment.
Tilting the System
1) Place one hand underneath the system and the other hand on top of the system (Figure 1-8).
Press down lightly with the hand on top of the system while gently pulling the bottom of the
system forward with your other hand (Figure 1-9).

3) Remove the bezel cover protecting the display as illustrated in Figure 1-19. Depress the silver
buttons on each side to release the cover. Observe that there are three slotted tabs that also help
hold the bottom of the bezel cover; these may cause extra resistance as the cover is removed.
Figure 1-18 Figure 1-19
Connecting the Keyboard, Mouse, etc.
1) Plug the keyboard into the PS2 connector in the lower right-hand corner of the main interface
panel, which is on the right-hand side of the system (Figure 1-20).
Note: The mouse may be plugged into the PS2 connector located next to the keyboard connector
as shown in Figure 1-20. (Alternatively, you may remove the green USB-to-PS2 connector from
the end of the mouse cable and then plug the mouse into one of the USB ports located just above
the two PS2 ports.)
Figure 1-20 Figure 1-21
2) Plug the power cord into the main power input port, which is located on the left-hand side of the
system, and then plug the other end of the cable into a suitable power outlet. Observe the main

MaxPac S-Class Single/Dual-Display 9210 SRA1/2-Series User Operation and Maintenance Guide 9
Powering-Up Your MaxPac
1) Ensure that the main (hard) power switch – the switch located just below the main power input
connector – is in its ON position (Figure 1-22).
Note: When the unit is being moved or serviced, ensure that the main power switch is in its
OFF position.
Figure 1-22 Figure 1-23
2) Press and release the soft power switch located to the left of the main power input connector as
illustrated in Figure 1-23.
3) Due to extensive system initialization and verification checks, the BIOS boot-up process can take
a significant amount of time, especially in the case of systems with large amounts of memory. In
the case of a system containing 8 GB of RAM, for example, it can take 45 seconds before all
three LEDs above the numerical keypad on the keyboard flash to indicate that the system is at a
point where information should start to appear on the main display.
Note: If nothing appears on the main display, the fact that the three LEDs flash on the keyboard
indicate that the system is alive.
Logging On for the First Time
1) Following the initial BIOS boot-up sequence, you will be presented with the Windows XP
Professional Startup screen:

10 MaxPac S-Class Single/Dual-Display 9210 SRA1/2-Series User Operation and Maintenance Guide
2) After a few seconds – and assuming this is the first time you have powered-up your system –
you will be presented with the Windows XP Professional Setup Wizard dialog. Follow the
on-screen instructions provided by the setup wizard; these will include:
•Accepting the license agreement.
•Confirming (or modifying) the region and/or language settings.
•Entering your company name and organization name.
•Entering the product key (that is, the OS license number). This license number will be found
on the OS license sticker attached to your machine. This sticker will be located on the base of
the machine (in this context, the term "base" refers to the bottom of the system when it is
standing on the table as illustrated earlier in this manual).
•Entering the name you wish to be associated with this system. Assuming that you intend to
connect your system to a network, this is the name that will appear on the network, and thus
it must be unique to your network (you may wish to obtain this name from your network
administrator).
•Entering a password for the system and confirming it.
•Specifying the date and time zone settings associated with your system’s location.
•Specifying your network settings (it is strongly recommended that you select the default
(Typical) option, otherwise you should leave this step to your network administrator).
•Entering the names of your workgroup and computer/network domains (ask your network
administrator to provide you with these details).
3) Once you have completed all of the steps presented by the setup wizard, click the Finish button,
which will cause the system to automatically reboot itself.
4) Observe the default MaxVision desktop appear on the display(s) as shown in Figure 1-24 (dual-
display / SRA2) and Figure 1-25 (single-display / SRA1).
Figure 1-24
Figure 1-25
5) Note that, in the case of a dual-display / SRA2, upon this first reboot both displays may not
initially be active (even though the display drivers are loaded for both graphics boards, in rare
cases they may not be enabled and/or properly configured). Alternatively, both displays may be
active, but they may be improperly ordered such that the mouse cursor moves from display to
display in a non-intuitive manner.
In such a case, right-mouse-click on a blank area of an active display/desktop, select the
Properties item from the resulting pop-up menu, then select the Settings tab, and then set up
the displays as shown in Figures 1-26 and 1-27.

MaxPac S-Class Single/Dual-Display 9210 SRA1/2-Series User Operation and Maintenance Guide 11
If the ordering of the displays is not as shown below, simply drag the display icons into the correct
position. Ensure that the left (center) display (number '1') is set to be the primary display. When
you've finished making changes, click the Apply button.
Figure 1-26
Figure 1-27
Registering/Activating Your OS
1) At some stage after you’ve powered up your system for the first time as discussed in the previous
section, a small “xx days left for activation” pop-up will appear in the lower right-hand corner of
the display:
2) Clicking on the “X” will dismiss this pop-up (it will return to bug you later). Alternatively, clicking
on the body of this pop-up will result in the “Let’s activate Windows” dialog appearing on your
display.
3) Select one of the three options (Activate over the internet, Activate by phone, or Remind me
later), then click the Next button and follow the on-screen directions.
Note: It is recommended that you register and activate your OS as soon as possible. After the 30
day grace period has expired, the system won’t even let you logon until you do register and
activate the OS.

12 MaxPac S-Class Single/Dual-Display 9210 SRA1/2-Series User Operation and Maintenance Guide
Shutting Down the System
In order to shut the system down gracefully you must perform the following steps:
1) Close down any applications that are currently running.
2) Use the Start > Shut Down command.
3) Select one of the following options in the pull-down menu:
•Restart Shutdown and restart the system.
•Shutdown Shutdown the system.
•Log Off Log off the current user session.
4) Click the OK button.
“Dos and Don’ts”
1) Always disconnect the external AC power source when removing or installing system components
(and always turn the main power switch to its OFF position when you disconnect AC power).
2) In the case of extreme dust conditions, it is imperative that you use (and maintain) the oil-based
"Baghdad Filter" supplied with your system (see also the discussions on maintaining this filter as
presented later in this manual).

Chapter 2: Setting-Up the Network,
Graphics, and Displays

14 MaxPac S-Class Single/Dual-Display 9210 SRA1/2-Series User Operation and Maintenance Guide
Setting-Up the Network
In the majority of environments, it is sufficient to use the Windows XP defaults for the network. Simply
plug your network cable into one of the two Gigabit connectors (Figure 2-1); the system should auto-
detect the presence of the network and the data/communications light next to the network cable
connector should start to flash.
Figure 2-1. Connecting the network cable
The easiest way to test your network connection is to invoke your web browser and visit a website
such as www.MaxVision.com. In the event of any problems or special requirements, you should first
consult your on-site IT representative (if the problems persist, contact MaxVision support as
discussed in Appendix D).
Setting-Up the Graphics
When you receive your MacPac 9210 system, you will find that the graphics subsystem has been pre-
installed with the following (recommended) characteristics:
•Color Quality: Highest (32-bit)
•Resolution: 1 or 2 x 19” displays: 1280 x 1024
Irrespective of the configuration, the graphics on your system will have been custom pre-configured to
suite your particular requirements.
MaxPac systems are available with a variety of different graphics cards depending on your unique
application(s). The standard configuration for a single or dual screen is a PCI Express-based NVIDIA
Quadro FX3500 or FX1500.
If you do have a special graphics card, you should consult the manual associated with this card (this
manual will be included in your documentation package as discussed in Chapter 1) or contact
MaxVision support (as discussed in Appendix D) for more information.
