Connecting
For a better guidance, open up the left inner page of the cover with the diagrams to
find the location of the described connections.
Note
The devices listed are not necessarily included with your PC.
All the
connections
listed are
optional
and will not inevitably be available
on your PC.
Cabling
Please follow the instructions below in order to correctly connect your PC:
Arrange cables in such a way that no one can tread on or trip over them.
Do not place objects on the cables.
Do not allow any great forces to be exerted on the plug-in connections, from the
side, for example. This might lead to damage on and in your device.
Do not use any force when connecting cable and plugs and pay attention to the
correct alignment of the plugs.
Pull it out at the plug and do not pull the cable, if you separate a connection cable
from your device.
Avoid short-circuits and breaks in the cable by not squashing or bending the cable
sharply.
To avoid damage to your PC, connect your peripherals (e.g., keyboard, mouse and
monitor) whilst your PC is powered off. Some devices can be connected whilst your
PC is in use. These devices usually have a USB connector. Please follow the appro-
priate instructions for each device.
Keep the PC at least one meter (approximately three feet) away from high fre-
quency and magnetic interference sources (e.g., televisions, loudspeaker cabinets,
mobile telephones, etc.) in order to avoid malfunctions and/or loss of data.
Please note that only shielded cables shorter than 3 meters (9.84 ft) should be used
for the external interfaces. Please only use double screened cables for printer cables.
Do not replace the cables supplied with the machine by any others. Use the cables
belonging to the scope of the delivery exclusively, because they will have been
tested extensively in our laboratories.
Also only use the connection cable supplied with the devices for the connection of
your peripheral devices.
