Required Tools
These tools are required for computer installation:
• Panel cutout tools (panel mount only)
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
• Antistatic wrist strap (recommended)
Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to make sure your computer provides safe and reliable service:
•
The installation site must have sufficient power.
•
The enclosure must allow sufficient space 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 can use a user-supplied
fan, heat exchanger, or air conditioner to meet this condition.
•
The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed specified limits. In very dry
environments, static charges build up readily. Proper grounding of the equipment helps
to reduce static discharges, which can 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 computer and inhibits
radio-frequency emissions that can interfere with other equipment.
ATTENTION: To maintain an electrically safe installation, the AC powered computers must be plugged into a
grounded outlet.
TIP Hot air rises. The temperature at the top of the enclosure is often higher than the temperature
in other parts of the enclosure, especially if air is not circulating.
IMPORTANT The computer can operate at a range of extremes. However, the life span of any electronic
device is shortened if you continuously operate the computer at its highest rated temperature.
