Getting Started
This chapter tells you how to prepare for setting up your system, including
how to:
• Choose the right location for your DECsystem 5100
• Make sure that the shipping carton contains everything you need.
1. 1 Choosing the Right Location
Use the following checklist to keep your system operating at its best:
• Carefully read all installation instructions before you turn on the power.
• Keep the temperature between 10°C and 32°C (50°F and 90°F) if your
system has a TZ30 tape drive installed. If the system does not have a TZ30
installed, keep the temperature between l0°C and 40°C (50°F and 104 °F).
• Keep the relative humidity between 40% and 80% if your system has a
TZ30 tape drive installed. Tape cartridges should also be stored at this
relative humidity. If the system does not have a TZ30 installed, keep the
relative humidity between 10% and 90%.
• Keep the air well circulated to prevent excess heat and dust from
accumulating.
• Keep your equipment away from heaters, photocopiers, direct sunlight, and
abrasive particles.
• Before you set up your system, select a surface that is large enough to hold
the system unit. Your desk or work table is a good choice.
• Keep the area clean. Do not place food or liquid on or near your equipment,
and do not place your system unit directly on the floor. Dust and dirt will
damage the system components.
