Step 5: Position the System Unit and Display

Position the system unit and display (optional) at or near their finished location.
Observe the following guidelines when positioning the system unit and display:
v Leave enough space around the system unit to safely and easily complete the setup
procedures.
v Observe standard ergonomic guidelines while arranging your system unit so that you
can work comfortably and safely. For more information on arranging your workstation,
visit the Healthy Computing Web site at: http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/healthycomputing
v The system unit weighs between 17.7 kg (39 pounds) and 20.4 kg (45 pounds). Two
people are recommended to safely move it. Using less than two persons to move it
can result in injury or damage to the machine.
v Be sure to maintain at least 76 mm (3 inches) of space in front and behind the
system unit to allow the system unit to cool properly. Blocking the air vents can
cause overheating, which might result in a malfunction or permanent damage to the
system unit.
v Place the system unit in a location where it can safely and easily reach any
necessary power outlets and network connections.
v Displays or ASCII terminals can weigh as much as 35 kg (77 pounds). Use caution
when lifting or moving the display or ASCII terminal.
v Place the display or ASCII terminal in a stable and sturdy location.

Step 6: Check Your Display Type

If you ordered a display with your system unit, the system unit has been set to use the
highest display resolution and refresh rate available for that display. If you want to:
v Attach a different display to your system unit
v Change the default display resolution or refresh rate
then after completing the installation steps, refer to the Customer Installable Options
Library CD-ROM for the documentation on the graphics adapter to learn how to change
the settings for the display you are installing.
