INSTALLATION
AND
CARE
OF
YOUR
SYSTEM
RECEIVING YOUR ORDER
Depending upon your requirements and the availability of components,
your order may arrive
in
more than one shipment. Before installing your
system,
you
should wait until your entire order has arrived. Installing
a full system
in
one session
is
far easier than installing portions of a
system
in
several sittings.
SELECTING A SITE FOR YOUR SYSTEM
The system
is
versatile and will work effectively
in
a variety of en-
vironments; however, there are certain factors that must
be
considered
before
you
start to install your system. The following paragraphs
ex-
plain these so that
you
may select a suitable location for your system.
The system operates reliably
in
a typical office environment, but it
is
important to adhere to the guidelines listed below when choosing a
site:
1.
The SYSTEM SHOULD
BE
CONNECTED
TO
A GROUNDED
(EARTHED) POWER OUTLET. Non-grounded machines do not
work properly and can
be
a safety hazard. If the system
is
not con-
nected to a grounded circuit, the following problems may occur:
a.
abnormal program execution
b.
unreadable diskettes and disks
c.
expensive machine damage
2.
The system should
be
isolated from sources of electrical noise and
from devices that can cause excessive voltage variations. Some
common sources of electrical noise are:
a. air conditioners, fans, and large blowers
b.
transformers and alternators
c.
large electrical motors such
as
those used
in
elevators
d.
radio and TV transmitters, signal generators, and high-
frequency security devices
