Unpacking and Setting Up the IRIS Indigo Workstation

12
The IRIS Indigo workstation is designed to fit easily into your office. Its fan is quiet, and
the system is small enough to fit under or on your desk, or on a bookshelf. Find a
convenient site using these suggestions:
• Place the workstation and the monitor within 6 feet of each other; you'll connect
them with cables that are 10 feet long.
• Place IRIS Indigo within 8 feet of a standard three-prong (grounded) electrical
outlet.
• Do not place the workstation in a small, enclosed area, such as a closet, as it may
overheat. It is important not to block the front, side, or rear vents.
• Do not drape anything, such as a jacket or blanket, over IRIS Indigo.
Your IRIS Indigo workstation came to you with the pieces shown in Figure 2-3. If you
ordered extra memory or internal drives, they will be in separate boxes.
Follow these steps to unpack your system:
1. Unpack the workstation and its parts.
The first item in the main IRIS Indigo shipping container is a fold-out poster with
pictorial instructions on how to unpack and set up the system. You can use the
poster to set up your workstation, or, if you prefer, follow the step-by-step
instructions below.
Lift both trays out of the shipping container and set them aside.
