5. Connecting
For better orientation, please open out the left-hand inside cover page to fully dis-

PLEASE NOTE!
The devices listed are not necessarily supplied. You only need to con-
nect those components you intend to operate on your PC. If you do not
have the device described, you can skip the point in question or carry it
out later, as required.
5.1. Connecting the cables
Follow the instructions below to connect your PC correctly and safely:
•
Position the cable so that it cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
•
To avoid damaging the cable, do not place any objects on it.
•
Do not expose plug connections to impacts/pressure, e.g. from lateral forces.
This could cause internal and external damage to the device.
•
Do not apply force when connecting cables and plugs and make sure that con-
nectors are the right way round.
•
When you disconnect a cable from your device, pull it out by holding the plug
and not the cable.
•
In order to prevent short-circuits and cable breaks, do not crush or bend cables.
•
Connect peripheral devices, such as keyboards, mouse and monitor, etc., only
when the PC is switched off to avoid damage to the PC or the devices. Some de-
vices may also be connected while the PC is running.
This is often the case for USB devices. In all cases, ensure that the information
provided in the relevant operating instructions is observed.
•
Maintain a distance of at least one metre from sources of high-frequency and
magnetic interference (TV sets, loudspeakers, mobile phones, DECT telephones,
etc.) in order to avoid malfunctions and data loss.
•
Please note that only shielded cables that are shorter than 3 metres may be con-
nected to the external interfaces of this PC. Please only use double-shielded ca-
bles for printer cable connections.
•
Do not exchange the supplied cable for another one. Use only the supplied ca-
ble as this cable has been extensively tested in our laboratory.
•
When connecting your periphery devices, also ensure that you only use the con-
nection cables supplied with those devices.
•
Ensure that all connection cables are connected to their corresponding periph-
ery device to avoid any interference radiation. Disconnect any cables that are
not required.
•
The only devices which may be connected to the PC are those which meet the
requirements set out in the EN60950 standard "Information Technology Equip-
ment – Safety" or the EN60065 standard "Audio, video and similar electronic ap-
paratus – Safety requirements".
