3. Setting up the PC
Setting up your PC correctly goes a long way towards ensuring comfortable opera-
tion.
3.1. Installation location
• Place all devices onto a stable, flat and vibration-free surface and only operate
them on this type of surface in order to prevent the PC malfunctioning.
• 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.
• Your PC is not suitable for use at workstations in line with the regulation for com-
puter workstations § 2
3.2. Ambient conditions
• The PC can be operated at an ambient temperature of +5°C to +30°C and at a
relative humidity of 20% to 80% (non-condensing).
• When switched off, the PC can be stored at temperatures of between -40°C and
65°C.
• After transporting the PC, wait until it has reached ambient temperature before
switching it on. Major changes in temperature or fluctuations in humidity can
cause moisture to build up within the PC due to condensation – this can cause
an electrical short circuit.
3.3. Ergonomics
Avoid glare, reflections and extreme dark-light contrasts to protect your
eyes.
The monitor should never be placed close to windows, because this is where the
workspace is illuminated the brightest by daylight. This brightness makes it more
difficult for the eyes to adjust to the darker screen.
Always position the monitor with the line of sight parallel to the window front.
The parallel line of sight must also be maintained with regards to artificial lighting
equipment. In other words, the same criteria and reasoning apply when the work-
space is illuminated with artificial light.
If it is not possible to position the monitor as described, the following measures
may be helpful:
• swivel, lower or tilt the monitor
• slats or vertical net curtains on the windows
• partition walls or changes to the lighting equipment.
34140 EN ALDI UK Content 2006 3872 RC1.indb 1434140 EN ALDI UK Content 2006 3872 RC1.indb 14 14.03.2019 15:32:1314.03.2019 15:32:13

Take regular breaks when working at your monitor and perform relevant
stretching exercises to avoid tension and fatigue.
Sitting for prolonged periods without changing position can be uncomfortable.
Correct posture is very important for minimising the risks of physical injuries or
damage.
90°
40 - 45°
50 - 60 cm
46 - 55 cm
66 - 71 cm
• General – change position frequently (around every 20 to 30 minutes) and take
regular breaks to avoid fatigue.
• Back – when sitting at your workstation, your back must be supported by your
chair’s backrest, which must be upright or angled slightly back.
• Arms – your arms and elbows should be comfortable and relaxed. Your elbows
should be close to your body. Hold your forearms and hands roughly parallel to
the floor.
• Wrists – when working with the keyboard, mouse or trackball, wrists should be
elongated and bent at an angle of no more than 10°. Take care to ensure that
your wrists do not rest directly on the edge of the table.
• Legs – your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly downwards. The lower
legs should form an angle of approx. 90° to the thighs. Your feet should rest flat
on the floor. Use a footrest if you need one, but first ensure that your seat height
has been adjusted correctly.
34140 EN ALDI UK Content 2006 3872 RC1.indb 1534140 EN ALDI UK Content 2006 3872 RC1.indb 15 14.03.2019 15:32:1314.03.2019 15:32:13

16
• Head – your head should be upright or bent slightly forward. Do not work with
your head or upper body twisted.
During work, the top edge of the monitor should be at or slightly below eye lev-
el.
The size of the distance between the monitor and the viewer depends on indi-
vidual requirements. Distances between 50 and 70 cm are commonly used.
4. Connection
The connections and equipment features shown are not necessarily part
of the package contents or PC equipment.
All connections and technical equipment marked with an asterisk* may
vary depending on the model; the available connection and equipment
features are detailed in the supplied data sheet. You can skip over items
that are not applicable.
4.1. Connecting the cables
Follow the instructions below to connect your PC correctly and safely:
• Keep the device at a distance of at least one metre from sources of high-frequen-
cy or magnetic interference (televisions, speakers, mobile telephones, DECT tele-
phones etc.) to avoid malfunctions and data loss.
• Please note that only shielded cables that are shorter than 3 metres may be con-
nected to the external interfaces of this PC. Use only double-shielded cables for
printer cables.
• Position the cables so that no one can tread on them or trip over them.
• Do not place any objects on the cables as they may be damaged.
• Do not crush or bend the cable to avoid cable breaks, this can result in a
short-circuit.
• Do not apply force when connecting cables and plugs and make sure that con-
nectors are the right way round.
• The only devices which may be connected to the PC are those which meet the
requirements set out in the EN60950 standard “Information Technology Equip-
ment – Safety”or the EN60065 standard“Audio, video and similar electronic ap-
paratus – Safety requirements”.
• 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 rel-
evant operating instructions is observed.

• When connecting your periphery devices, also ensure that you only use the con-
nection cables supplied with those devices.
• Do not expose plug connections to impacts/pressure, e.g. from lateral forces.
This could cause internal and external damage to the device.
• When you disconnect a cable from your device, pull it out by holding the plug
and not the cable.
• Do not exchange the supplied cable for another one. Use only the supplied ca-
ble as this cable has been extensively tested in our laboratory.
• Take care to ensure that all connection cables are connected to their corre-
sponding periphery device. Remove unnecessary cables to avoid interference ra-
diation.
• Pull out the mains plug during thunder storms and remove the network cable
and aerial cable (if present) in particular. For additional safety, we recommend
using a surge protection device to protect the PC against damage due to volt-
age spikes or lightening strike from the power supply.
4.2. Connecting the monitor
Your PC features a VGA*-, DVI* connection, DisplayPort* and/or a HDMI* port.
Additional monitors may also be connected, depending on the connections availa-
ble.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
If your monitor has multiple inputs, only ever connect
one data cable at a time to prevent signal mapping
problems.
Take care to ensure that the plugs and sockets fit to-
gether precisely in order to avoid any damage to the
contacts. Due to its asymmetrical form, the plug will
only fit into the socket in one position.
Connect the corresponding data cable of the screen with the respective socket
of the graphics system.
Remove the white protective ring (if present) on the monitor plug.
Tighten the screws hand tight when connecting a VGA or DVI device to the mon-
itor cable.

4.3. Connecting HDMI devices
HDMI is an abbreviation for“High Definition Multimedia Interface”, which is an inter-
face for the fully digital transfer of audio and video data.
You can connect a monitor, TV or projector to this socket if it has a correspond-
ing connection.
4.4. Connecting USB devices*
Do not connect your USB devices until you have finished the initial set-
up of your new PC. This will prevent any unnecessary interference dur-
ing the installation. These devices can generally be connected while the
PC is running. Please refer to the operating instructions for your periph-
eral device.
• Several connection sockets are available for you to use as desired.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Due to the arrangement of the contacts, the plug will
only fit into the socket in one position (with the excep-
tion of USB type C).
Take care to ensure that the plugs and sockets fit to-
gether precisely in order to avoid any damage to the
contacts.
Plug the device (printer, scanner, camera etc.) into the appropriate socket.
Observe the operating instructions for your peripheral devices and al-
ways connect the devices to the required USB port with the correspond-
ing connection cable.

A digital audio output (SPDIF) may be connected using an optical or coaxial cable.
Plug an optical cable into the optical socket or a coaxial cable into the coaxial
socket.
Connect the other end of the cable to an audio device with a corresponding dig-
ital input.
4.6. Connecting a microphone*
Connect a microphone with a 3.5 mm mono jack plug to the marked socket on
the front of your PC.
Position the microphone so that it does not point directly at the speakers. This
prevents acoustic feedback (perceptible by a loud whistling).
4.7. Connecting audio input/recording source*
This socket is used to connect external analogue audio sources (e.g. stereo system,
synthesizer).
Plug the connection cable with the 3.5 mm stereo jack plug into the light blue
socket on the rear or the PC.
4.8. Connecting a network (LAN)
You can prepare your PC for network operation using the network socket.
A network cable usually has two RJ45 plugs meaning it does not matter which end
is plugged into which socket.
Plug one end of the network cable into the PC socket.
Connect the other end to another PC or a hub/switch.
For more information see the chapter“Network Operation”.
4.9. Connecting the power supply
Finally, connect the power supply for your PC and the monitor.
Only operate the PC from an earthed, easily accessible 100–240V ~ 50/60 Hz
outlet. Contact the local energy supplier if you have any questions about the
power supply at the installation location.
Plug the mains cable into the socket and connect it to your PC’s power socket.
To completely disconnect the PC from the power supply, unplug the plug from
the outlet.
Only connect the device to a properly installed power outlet. The local mains
voltage must correspond to the technical specifications for the device.

The mains plug of the PC serves as a separating device. As long as the PC is con-
nected to the power supply, the parts inside it also carry current when switched
off.
Please note that the device continues to use power when in standby mode (see
also the relevant standby consumption in the“Technical data”section).
To completely disconnect the PC from the power supply, unplug the plug from
the outlet.
Please note the following safety instructions:
DANGER!
Risk of electric shock!
Even when the PC is switched off, some components
are live.
Remove the mains plug from the socket to discon-
nect your PC from the power supply or to completely
isolate the device from voltage sources.
The socket must be close to the PC and easy to ac-
cess.
Only operate the PC on earthed socket outlets of the
household electricity network.
Only use the power cable supplied.
For additional safety, we recommend using a surge
protection device to protect the PC against damage
due to voltage spikes or lightening strike from the
power supply.
Do not start up your PC yet!
First read the next chapter for some helpful tips on initial operation.
