Air
Circulation
And

Normal
air
conditioning
is
all
you
need
to
cool
the
System

(mapped).
However,
if
you
set
up
your
system
in
a
small
area,
or
in
an
area
with
little
or
no
air
conditioning,
make
sure
that
the
temperature
never
drops
below
50
degrees
F
(10
degrees
C),
nor
gets
above 90
degrees
F
(32

The System 150 (mapped)

designed
to

Instructions
1.2.2
Inspect
The Hardware
Throughout
the
procedure
for
unpacking
and
installation,
inspect
the
equipment
for
damage
that
might
have
occurred
during
shipment.
If
you
discover,
for
example,
that
the
bezel
is
loose,
or
that
the
screen
(the
Cathode Ray Tube,
or
CRT)
is
loose,
or
that
anything
else
seems
to
be
amiss,
call
WICAT
Customer
Service.

STEP
2:
Cut
the
tape
that
seals
the
carton.
Although
you
should
of
course
be
careful
not
to
risk
damaging
the
carton's
contents
while
cutting
the
tape,
the
hardware
has
been
packaged
so
that
damage
caused
by
such
carelessness
is
unlikely.
STEP
3:
Open
the
lid
of
the
carton.
NOTE:
Save
all
packing
material
until
you have
inspected
the
equipment
to
ensure
that
no
damage
to
the
hardware
occurred
during
shipment.
The
upper
portion
of
the
carton
contains
System
150 (mapped)
documentation,
language
documentation,
and
extra
boards
that
you
might
have
ordered.
STEP
4:
Remove
the
contents
of
the
upper
portion
of
the
carton.
STEP
5:
Remove
the
sheet
of
cardboard
on which
the
documentation
and
other
items
rested.
You
will
see
the
keyboard
and
the
top
of
the
central
processing
unit,
the
CPU.
STEP
6:
Grasp
the
top
and
bottom
edges
of
the
keyboard,
and
lift
it
up and
out
of
the
polystyrene
packing
inserts.
The
keyboard
coil
is
taped
to
the
back
of
the
keyboard.
STEP
7:
Get someone
to
help
you
lift
the
chassis
out
of
the
box.
CAUTION:
The
chassis
weighs
up
to
50
lb.,
and
lifting
it
may
be
difficult,
even
with
someone's
help.
STEP
8:
Find
the
hand
holds
in
the
top
of
the
cardboard/plastic
walls
on
both
sides
of
the
chassis.
STEP
9:
Using
the
hand
holds,
carefully
lift
the
chassis
straight
up and
out
of
the
box,
and
set
the

STEP
10:
Remove
the
envelope
taped
to
the
top
of
the
chassis.
This
envelope
contains
the
backup
diskettes
for
your

system,
language
diskette(s),
and
the
forms you
should
complete
for
the
WICAT
Assurance
Program.
STEP
11:
Place
the
CPU
where you
intend
to
keep
it,
but
DO
NOT
PLUG
IT
IN
until
you
are
told
to
do
so
in
these
instructions.
WARNING:
If
the
CPU
is
plugged
in
and
the
power
is
on when you
either
CONNECT
or
DISCONNECT
the
keyboard,
you
may
damage
both
the

14:
Plug
the
keyboard
coil
into
its
jack
in
the
chassis.
The
plug
on
the
end
of
the
keyboard
coil
is
similar
to
the

systems.
You
will
