if you are setting up a model 6c3, continue on to “step 12. check your display or console type” on page 23.

    if you are setting up a model 6e3, position the system unit and display (optional) at or near their installed location.

    observe the following guidelines when you are positioning the system unit:

    1 the system unit weighs between 34 kg (75 pounds) and 41 kg (90 pounds). do not try to lift the system unit by yourself.

    2 displays and ascii terminals can weigh as much as 35 kg (77 pounds). use caution when lifting or moving the display or ascii terminal.

    3 leave enough space around the system unit to safely and easily complete the setup procedures.

    4 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 address at: http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/healthycomputing.

    5 be sure to maintain at least 51 mm (2 inches) of space on the sides of the system unit and 152 mm (6 inches) at the rear of the system unit to allow the system unit to cool properly. the front of the system requires a minimum of 76 mm (3 inches) of space. blocking the air vents can cause overheating, which might result in a malfunction or permanent damage to the system unit.

    6 place the system unit in a location where it can safely and easily reach any necessary power outlets and network connections.

    7 place the display or ascii terminal in a stable and sturdy location.
