Getting Familiar With The System; Making Connections - NEC EXPRESS5800/140Hb Service Manual

Getting Familiar with the System

Before setting up your system, see System Overview in Chapter 1 of this User's
Guide to become familiar with the system's features, such as the location of
your system's front and rear panel switches, indicators and connectors, etc.

Making Connections

If your system normally operates without a video display or keyboard (for
example, as a network server), you must install a video display and keyboard to
configure the system. You may remove them after running the BIOS Setup
Utility. For information on running the BIOS Setup Utility, refer to Chapter 3
Configuring Your System of this User's Guide.
Connect your keyboard, monitor, and mouse; see Figure 1-4 in Chapter 1 of this
User's Guide. Connect any external peripheral devices such as a printer or
modem by following the instructions included with these devices. To connect
external SCSI cables, refer to Cabling in Appendix A.
Damage to the system may result if the keyboard/mouse
cable is inserted or removed when power is applied to the
system.
Inserting a telephone line connector into a LAN board RJ-45
port may result in personal injury and equipment damage.
