tion if used improperly.
4. Setting up the PC
Setting up your PC correctly goes a long way towards ensuring comfortable operation.
4.1. Installation location
• Keep your PC and all connected devices away from moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight. This will help to
avoid malfunctions or damage to the PC.
• Place all devices onto a stable, flat and vibration-free surface and only operate them on this type of surface in order to pre-
vent the PC malfunctioning.
4.2. Environmental requirements
• The PC can be operated at ambient temperatures of +10°C to +35°C and a relative humidity of 30%–70% (non-condens-
ing).
• When switched off, the PC can be stored at temperatures from -20 °C bis 50 °C.
• Pull out the mains plug during thunder storms and, in particular, remove the aerial cable (if present). For extra safety, we
recommend using an overvoltage protection device to prevent the PC from sustaining damage as a result of power surges
or lightning strikes.
• After transporting the PC, wait until the device has reached ambient temperature before switching it on. Large changes in
temperature or fluctuations in humidity can cause moisture build-up within the PC due to condensation. This can cause an
electrical short circuit.
4.3. Ergonomics
PLEASE NOTE!
Avoid dazzle, reflections and strong bright-dark contrast in order to protect your eyes.
The monitor should never be placed next to a window because this is the brightest part of the room during daylight. This
brightness can make it more difficult for the eyes to adjust to the darker monitor.
Always place the monitor so that the direction of vision is parallel to the window front (see image).
This parallel direction of vision should also be maintained in relation to any artificial lighting equipment. In other words, the
same criteria and principles apply where the workspace is illuminated with artificial light.
Where it is not possible to position the monitor as described, the following measures may be useful:
• rotating, lowering or tilting the monitor;
• using slats or vertical blinds on the windows;
• using partitions or changing the direction of the light source.
PLEASE NOTE!
Take regular breaks when working at your monitor to prevent tenseness and fatigue.

7 of 34
Sitting for long periods without changing your position can be uncomfortable. To minimise the risks of physical discomfort or
damage, correct posture is paramount.
• General – Alter your position frequently (every 20–30 minutes) and take frequent breaks to avoid fatigue.
• Back – When sitting at your workplace, the backrest of the office chair should be upright or tilted slightly backwards to
supported your back.
• Arms – Your arms and elbows should be relaxed and loose. Keep your elbows tucked in next to your body. Keep your fore-
arms and hands almost parallel to the floor.
• Wrists – When working with the keyboard, mouse or trackball, your wrists should be kept as straight as possible and
should not be bent at an angle greater than 10°.
• Legs – Your thighs should lie horizontally or be tilted slightly upwards. Your lower legs should kept at an angle of approxi-
mately 90° to your thighs. Your feet should rest flat on the floor. Where possible, use a footrest, otherwise, ensure that the
seat is adjusted to the correct height before starting work.
• Head – Your head should be kept straight or inclined slightly forward. Do not work with your head or upper body twisted.
• Hand rest area: 5–10 cm
• Viewing distance: 50 to 70 cm
• Leg room (vertical): 65 cm (min.)
• Leg room (horizontal): 60cm (min.)
• The top line of the screen should be at eye height or a little below.
5. Connecting
For better orientation, please open out the left-hand inside cover page to fully display the diagrams showing the positions of
the connections described.
PLEASE NOTE!
The devices listed are not necessarily supplied! The connections listed are optional and are not necessarily present
on your PC.
5.1. Connecting the cables
Follow the instructions below to connect your PC correctly and safely:
• Position the cable so that it cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
• To avoid damaging the cable, do not place any objects on it.
• Do not expose plug connections to impacts/pressure, e.g. from lateral forces. This could cause internal and external dam-
age to the device.
• Do not apply force when connecting cables and plugs and make sure that connectors are the right way round.
• When you disconnect a cable from your device, pull it out by holding the plug and not the cable.
• In order to prevent short-circuits and cable breaks, do not crush or bend cables.
• Connect peripheral devices, such as keyboards, mouse and monitor, etc., only when the PC is switched off to avoid damage
to the PC or the devices. Some devices may also be connected while the PC is running.
This is often the case for USB devices. In all cases, ensure that the information provided in the relevant operating instruc-
tions is observed.
• Maintain a distance of at least one metre from sources of high-frequency and magnetic interference (TV sets, loudspeak-
ers, mobile phones, DECT telephones, etc.) in order to avoid malfunctions and data loss.
• Please note that only shielded cables that are shorter than 3 metres may be connected to the external interfaces of this PC.
Please only use double-shielded cables for printer cable connections.
• Do not exchange the supplied cable for another one. Use only the supplied cable as this cable has been extensively tested
in our laboratory.
• When connecting your periphery devices, also ensure that you only use the connection cables supplied with those devic-
es.
• Ensure that all connection cables are connected to their corresponding periphery device to avoid any interference radia-
tion. Disconnect any cables that are not required.
• The only devices which may be connected to the PC are those which meet the requirements set out in the EN60950 stand-
ard “Information Technology Equipment – Safety” or the EN60065 standard “Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus –
Safety requirements”.

• During the first few hours of use, new products may give off a characteristic but totally harmless smell. This is unavoidable
and disappears over time.
To help reduce the amount of odour build-up, we recommend that you ventilate the room at regular intervals. We have
taken appropriate measures during the development of this product to ensure that levels are well below legal limits.
PLEASE NOTE!
The devices listed are not necessarily supplied. You only need to connect those components you intend to operate
on your PC. If you do not have the device described, you can skip the point in question or carry it out later, as re-
quired.
5.2. Opening and closing the front panel (optional)
Some connections are located behind the front panel. This offers the advantage of making it quick and easy to connect fre-
quently used devices without having to turn the PC around. The closable panel also protects the connections.
5.3. Connecting the microphone (optional)
Connect a microphone to the pink socket using a 3.5 mm mono jack plug.
Position the microphone so that it does not point directly at the speakers. This prevents acoustic feedback (perceptible by
a loud whistling).
5.4. Connecting SATA devices (optional)
eSATA stands for “external Serial ATA” and is a connection for external hard drives. Compared with the conventional USB
standard, the transfer speed with an eSATA connection is higher than with external USB hard drives.
PLEASE NOTE!
In order to prevent damage to the contacts, make sure that the plug and the socket fit together perfectly. Due to
its asymmetric form, the plug will only fit into the socket in one position.
Plug the cable into the eSATA socket on the front of your PC.
5.4.1. Disconnecting SATA Devices
Before disconnecting a SATA hard drive from your PC, click the Safely remove hardware icon in the task bar below and
then click on the hard drive to be removed.
5.5. Connecting USB devices (optional)
CAUTION!
Do not connect your USB devices until you have finished the initial setup of your new PC. This will prevent any un-
necessary interference during the installation. These devices can generally be connected while the PC is running.
Please refer to the operating manual for your peripheral device.
• The PC’s USB voltage outputs are protected by a fuse (limited power source in accordance with EN60950). This ensures that
peripheral devices connected using the sockets in question cannot be damaged in the event of a technical fault with the PC.
You will usually have several connection sockets available that you can use as desired.
PLEASE NOTE!
In order to prevent damage to the contacts, make sure that the plug and the socket fit together perfectly. Due to
its asymmetric form, the plug will only fit into the socket in one position.
Plug the device (printer, scanner, camera, etc.) into the appropriate socket.
PLEASE NOTE!
Where possible, always connect your devices to the same port that they were originally installed on. Otherwise
they will be assigned a new ID and the drivers will need to be reinstalled.
