Installing Your Computer; The Computer Section - HP 9000 300 Series Installation Reference

Installing Your Computer
This section explains how to install your system. It expands on the procedure presented
in the Installation Picture-guide, and deals with any problems which you may encounter.
The computer comes in several versions. Each version has a different Installation Picture-
guide due to differences in the hardware. However, the versions will be covered together
here except for the monitors, which are quite different.
Before you move on to the first step, look at the photo at the beginning of this chapter
and familiarize yourself wiLh the computer parts. Find each part on your own computer
as you look over the list.
There are four sections to the installation procedure: the Computer section, the Monitor
section, the Keyboard section and the Video Display section.
The Computer Section
This section covers unpacking and installing the computer mainframe.
Remove the computer from this carton.
The computer is packed in a large carton together with a box containing accessory items.
Go ahead and remove the computer from the large box.
Place it on your desk.
Place the computer on any convenient surface. It need not be at your work area, as
the computer is designed for remote operation. Be sure that there is at least 50mm (2
inches) of space at the front and back for ventilation. The fans draw cooling air through
the grill in the front panel and out the back. Do not operate the computer in areas with
excessive dust or smoke.
