Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to make sure your product provides safe and reliable service.
•
The installation site must have sufficient power.
•
Make sure that sufficient space is available around air inlets and outlets to provide the
circulation necessary for cooling. Never allow air passages to become obstructed.
•
The ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum operating temperature.
Consider heat produced by other devices in the enclosure. You may need to supply a fan,
heat exchanger, or air conditioner to meet this condition.
•
The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed specified limits.
•
In dry environments, static charges build up readily. Proper grounding of the equipment
through the AC power cord helps to reduce static discharges, which may cause shocks
and damage electronic components.
•
The enclosure or cover must remain in place at all times during operation. The cover
provides protection against high voltages inside the product and inhibits
radio-frequency emissions that might interfere with other equipment.
Operating Systems
The computers are shipped with Microsoft licensed Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 3
operating system installed and configured.
No operating system updates have been applied to the factory image beyond the service packs.
For your convenience, the I386 source directory for Microsoft Windows is on the system drive of
your computer off the root directory, C:\I386. This allows for easy removal and addition of
Windows components.
Computers with rotating hard-disk drives include a recovery partition on the system drive
containing the original factory image. You can use the supplied Computer System Cloning CD
to restore the operating system from the recovery partition and create a new recovery image.
Refer to the Cloning Utility Technical Data, publication
6000-TD002 , for instructions.
To obtain the original factory image on bootable external recovery media, which also includes
the I386 source directory, contact your local technical support center.
TIP Hot air rises. The temperature at the top of an enclosure is often higher than the temperature in
other parts of the enclosure, especially if air is not circulating.
IMPORTANT The product can operate at a range of extremes. However, the life span of any electronic device
is shortened if you continuously operate the product at its highest rated temperature.
