1. Introduction
For the most demanding processing and graphics intensive applications, UniWorkstation platform will meet and
surpass expectations.
Often times, workstations are integrated using combination of desktop and server components, thus, excelling in
certain area of computing but lack in other. UniWorkstation is a tightly integrated, full-featured platform that can
excel in all aspects of performance requirements of a powerful workstation.
The key objective for UniWorkstation is to overcome the major areas that are often bottleneck. UniWorkstation
starts the latest AMD Opteron™ processor for Socket F(1207) supported, AMD Opteron™ main board. When
additional processing power is needed, 4-way can be scaled to 4-way configuration by plugging in a CPU &
Memory board. In addition, 16 DDR2 667MHz DIMM sockets are supported per CPU. This first-in-industry feature
increases the performance/value mix by reducing the cost of system memory by up to 100% over competition.
In line with extreme processing and data buffering capability, UniWorkstation has built-in SAS with RAID 0, 1, 1E,
maximizing on disk I/O with striping data across multiple disks. For those preferring SAS devices, SAS channel with
RAID option is available. Data transfer is optimized with on-board dual PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet ports.
With 3 PCI Express slots, SLI is supported, aggregating dual GPU’s and delivering world-class graphics performance.
Last but not least, UniWorkstation employs cable-less and tool-less integration. This well thoughtout packaging
keeps all components ultra cool and easy to maintain, thus, optimizing on reliability and TCO.

To avoid personal injury or property damage, read, observe, and adhere to all of the following safety instructions
and information before you begin installing the product.
2.1 Intended Application Uses
This product was evaluated as information technology equipment (ITE), which may be installed in offices, schools,
computer rooms, and similar commercial type locations. The suitability of this product for other product categories
and environment (such as medial, industrial, alarm systems, and test equipment), other than an ITE application,
may require further evaluation.
2.2 Checking the Power Cord
CAUTION
To avoid electrical shock, check the power cord(s) that will be used with the product:
Do not attempt to modify or use the AC power cord(s) if they are not the exact type required.
If a power cord is not compatible with the AC wall outlet in your region, get one that meets the following criteria:
zThe power cord must be properly rated for the AC voltage in your region.
zThe power cord plug cap must have an electrical current rating that is at least 125% of the
electrical current rating of the product.
zThe power cord plug cap that plugs into the wall socket-outlet must have a grounding type male
plug designed for use in your region.
zThe power cord must have safety certifications for your region, and shall be marked with the
certification markings.
zThe power cord plug cap that plugs into the AC receptacle on the power supply must be an IEC
320, sheet C13, type female connector.
zIn Europe, the power cord must be less than 4.5 meters (14.76 feet) long, and it must be flexible
<HAR> (harmonized) or VDE certified cordage to comply with the chassis' safety certification
The power supply cord(s) is the main disconnect device to AC power.
The socket outlet(s) shall be near the equipment and shall be readily accessible for disconnection.

12
2.3 Earth-Grounded Socket Outlets
CAUTION
To avoid electrical shock, the system power cord(s) must be plugged into socket-outlet(s) that is provided with a
suitable earth ground. The system will be provided with the following marking:
zConnect only to properly earth-grounded socket outlets.
2.4 Before Removing the Access Covers
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, the following safety instructions apply wheneveraccessing inside the
product:
zTurn off all peripheral devices connected to this product.
zTurn off the system by pressing the power button on the front of the product.
zDisconnect the AC power by unplugging all AC power cords from the system or wall outlet.
zDisconnect all cables and telecommunication lines that are connected to the system.
zRetain all screws or other fasteners when removing access cover(s). Upon completion of accessing
inside the product, refasten access cover with original screws or fasteners.
zDo not access inside power supply. There are no serviceable parts in the power supply.
zReturn to manufacturer for servicing.
2.5 Fans
CAUTION
To avoid injury, do not contact moving fan blades.
2.6 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
CAUTION
Perform the procedures in this product guide only at an electrostatic discharge (ESD) workstation, because the server
components can be extremely sensitive to ESD. If no such station is available, you can reduce the risk of electrostatic
discharge ESD damage by doing the following.
zWear an antistatic wrist strap and attach it to a metal part of the server.
zTouch the metal on the server chassis before touching the server components.
zKeep part of your body in contact with the metal server chassis to dissipate the static charge while
handling the components.

13
zAvoid moving around unnecessarily.
zHold the server components (especially boards) only by the edges.
zPlace the server components on a grounded, static-free surface.
zUse a conductive foam pad if available but not the component wrapper.
zDo not slide the components over any surface.
2.7 Cooling and Airflow
CAUTION
For proper cooling and airflow, always install all access covers before turning on the system.
Operating the system for longer than five minutes without the covers in place can cause overheating and damage to system
components.
2.8 Battery
CAUTION
A risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
2.9 Network Connecting
CAUTION
This equipment is designed for indoor use only. All communication wirings connected to the system
are required to be limited to the internal of the building that this system resides in.
