PREFACE
Overview of the Manual
The 1186 Hardware Installation provides
information to aid you in installing the 1186
Artificial Intelligence workstation.
A form for documentation comments is included at
the end of this manual.
Organization of the Manual and How to Use It
This manual is divided into chapters, with most
chapters focusing on a parti.cular aspect
of
hardware installation. The manual is organized in
sequential order,
with preliminary tasks presented
first,
followed by subsequent tasks. .
All readers should carefully read Chapter 1,
Hardware Installation Overview, for background
and general
information. Continue by reading each
chapter in order:
• Chapter 2, Installing Standard and Optional
Components.
• Chapter 3, System Configuration Utility.
• Chapter 4, NewSystem Checkout.
In addition, several appendices are included to
provide a convenient location for frequently used
material (Appendix A, Hardware
Configuration)
and specific tasks not generally part of the
installation (Appendix B, Rigid Disk Drive
Installation and Appendix C, Control Store
Upgrade).

1. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
OVERVIEW
The 1186 Artificial Intelligence workstation is
functional when both the hardware and software
have been installed.
This chapter provides an overview of the hardware
installation procedures for the 1186 Artificial
Intelligence workstation. It also provides a
flowchart of the hardware installation scenario
with references to detailed installation instructions.
A Hardware Checklist,
which you will use in the
following chapters to record specific information
for hardware installation, is located in Appendix A,
Hardware Configuration,
for ease of reference. The
specific instructions
for filling in the Hardware
Checklist appear in the following chapters.

1. HARDWARE INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Installation Scenario
Hardware installation consists of installing and
configuring various standard and optional
components, and running system diagnostics.
Figure
1-1 on the following page, illustrates the
hardware installation scenario.
The left side of the flowchart presents the three
basic installation tasks, with references to relevant
documentation.
The right side of the flowchart presents the specific
steps of each basic task. The specific instructions for
completing each step are provided in the remaining
chapters of this installation guide. The chapters are
as follows:
• Chapter 2, Installing Standard and Optional
Components
• Chapter
3, System Configuration Utility
• Chapter 4, New System Checkout
Software Installation
2
The 1186 Artificial Intelligence workstation has
been preinstalled
with Xerox Lisp.
Software can be reinstalled on the 1186 after
hardware is installed, the configuration is defined,
and system checkout is completed.
See the 1186 User's Guide for detailed procedures
on software installation.

Safety Requirements
6
Your Xerox 1186 Artificial Intelligence workstation
has been designed and tested to meet strict safety
requirements. These include safety agency (UL and
CSA) examination and approval, as well as

WARNING
Improper connection of the computer ground
conductorcan result in risk of electrical shock.
• Never use a grounded adapter plug to connect
the computer to a power source receptacle that
lacks a ground connectionterminal.
• Never attempt any maintenance functions that
are not specifically called for in this installation
guide.
• Never remove any covers or guards that are
fastened
with screws, except as explicitly
instructed to do so in this installation guide. If
you are instructed to remove any covers or
guards that are fastened ,with screws, always
follow the instructions exactly as they are
presented.
• Never override or "cheat" electrical or
mechanical interlock devices.
• Always exercise care in moving or relocating the
workstation. Refer to this installation guide for
correct procedures for lifting and moving the
workstation.
• Never move a workstation when the processor is
powered up.
• Never operate the workstation if you notice
unusual noises
or odors. Disconnect the power
cord from the power source receptacle and call
your Xerox service representative to correct the
problem.

Installing Standard and Optional Components
The following procedures for installing the
standard and optional components shou-Id be
performed sequentially.
Connecting the Optical Pointer(Mouse) to the Keyboard
1. Connect the cable that is attached to the optical
pointer to the connector located at the rear
center
of the keyboard (Figure 2-6). The grooves
of the connector must be facing down.
Note: When properly connected,
the mouse
connector fits securely and
