Setting up the PC
Setting up your PC in the right way helps to ensure that your PC is comfortable to
operate.
Installation location
• Set up all components on a stable, level and vibration-free surface and only
operate them on a surface of this kind to prevent the PC from malfunctioning.
• Keep your PC and all connected devices away from moisture and avoid dust, heat
and direct sunlight. This will avoid faults or damage to your PC.
• Your PC is not suitable for use at VDU workstations within the meaning of §2 of the
German VDU workstation regulation.
Environmental requirements
• The PC can be operated at an ambient temperature of +10°C to +35°C and at a
relative humidity of 30% - 70% (non-condensing).
• When switched off, the PC can be stored at temperatures from -20°C to 50°C.
• During a thunderstorm, disconnect the mains plug and, in particular, remove
the network cable and, if applicable, the antenna cable. For extra safety, we
recommend using an overvoltage protection device to prevent your PC from
sustaining damage from the mains supply as a result of power surges or lightning
strikes.
• 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.
Ergonomics
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 in daylight. This brightness can make it more difficult for the eyes to adjust
to the darker monitor.
The monitor should always be positioned so that the direction of vision is parallel to the
window frontage.
The parallel line of vision should also be maintained in relation to artificial lighting
equipment. In other words, the same criteria and principles apply where the workspace
is illuminated with artificial light.

If it is not possible to position the screen as described, the following can be helpful:
• Rotate, lower or tilt the monitor;
• Slatted or vertical blinds on the windows;
• Partitions or changes to artificial lighting.
Take regular breaks when working at your monitor to
prevent tenseness and fatigue.
Sitting for a long time without changing position can be uncomfortable. Correct
posture is very important for minimising the risks of physical problems or damage.

40 - 45°
50 - 60 cm
46 - 55 cm
66 - 71 cm
• In general – change your position frequently (around every 20-30 minutes)
and take regular breaks to avoid tiredness.
• 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 relaxed and loose. 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, your wrists
should be stretched out and not bent at an angle of more than 10°, where
possible. Make sure that your wrists are not resting on the table edge itself.
• Legs – your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly down. Your lower
legs should form an angle with your thighs of approximately 90°. Your feet
should be resting flat on the floor. Use a foot rest if you need one, but first make
sure that your seat height has been adjusted correctly.

• Head – your head should be upright or bent very slightly forward. Do not work
with your head or upper body twisted.
As you work, the top edge of the monitor should be at eye level or very slightly
lower.
The distance between the monitor and the person viewing it depends on
individual requirements. Distances between 50 and 70cm are commonly used.
Connecting
The devices listed are not necessarily supplied. You only
need to connect up those components that you want to
operate on your PC. If you do not have the described
device, you can simply skip the relevant point and carry
out these steps at a later point in time if required.
Connecting the cables
Follow the instructions below to connect your PC correctly and safely:
• Maintain a distance of at least one metre from sources of high-frequency and
magnetic interference (TV sets, loudspeakers, 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.
• Position the cable so that it cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
• To avoid damaging the cables, do not place any objects on them.
• In order to prevent cable breaks, do not crush or bend cables, because this
could cause a short circuit.
• Do not apply force when connecting cables and plugs and make sure that
connectors are the right way round.
• Do not connect any devices to the PC which do not meet the requirements set
out in the EN60950 standard “Information Technology Equipment – Safety” or
the EN60065 standard “Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus - Safety
requirements”.
• Only connect peripheral devices – such as keyboard, mouse and monitor, etc. –
when the PC is switched off to avoid damage to the PC or the devices.
Some devices may also be connected while the computer is running. This is
generally the case for devices with a USB connection. In all cases, observe the
relevant operating instructions.

• In addition, when connecting your peripherals only use the connecting 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 product.
• 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
cable as this cable has been extensively tested in our laboratory.
• Ensure that all connection cables are connected to their corresponding
peripheral device to avoid any interference radiation. Disconnect any cables
that are not required.
Opening and closing the front cover
Some connections are behind the front cover 6. This is very useful because you can
quickly and conveniently make frequently used connections without turning around
the PC. The closable cover also protects the connections.
Connecting the monitor
Your PC has a DVI 21 connection and three DisplayPorts 23 .
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
If your monitor has several inputs, only ever connect one data cable
to avoid problems with signal allocation.
− Ensure that the plug and the socket fit together precisely
in order to avoid any damage to the contacts. Due to its
asymmetrical shape, the plug will only fit into the socket in one
position.
− Connect the screen data cable with the graphics system socket. Remove the
white protective ring (if present) on the monitor plug.
− When connecting a DVI device to the monitor cable, screw the screws in
hand-tight.
