2 Getting Started

2.1 Unpacking

Inspect the shipping container for damage.
If the shipping container seems to be damaged, keep it until you have inspected the
contents and you have inspected the PRO8xxx mechanically and electrically.
Verify that you have received the following items:
1 PRO800 or PRO8000 or PRO8000-4
1 power cord, connector according to ordering country
1 operation manual
1 CD with drivers and software
Inserted modules as ordered with the mainframe
Blind plates in the empty slots

2.2 Preparation

Prior to starting operating the PRO8xxx, check if the line voltage specified on the
letter plate agrees with your local supply and if the appropriate fuse is inserted. (To
change the line voltage see 6.1)
Connect the unit to the line with the provided mains cable. Turn the unit on by means
of the mains switch.
Via the 4mm banana jack of the chassis ground the external optical build-up can be
connected to ground potential, if required.
