Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect

your computer system from potential damage and to

ensure your own personal safety.

When Using Your Computer

System

As you use your computer system, observe the following

safety guidelines:

•Be sure your monitor and attached peripherals are

electrically rated to operate with the AC power avail-

able in your location.

•To help prevent electric shock, plug the computer

and peripheral power cables into properly grounded

power sources. These cables are equipped with

3-prong plugs to ensure proper grounding. Do not

use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong

from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use

a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.

•To help protect your computer system from sudden,

transient increases and decreases in electrical power,

use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninter-

ruptible power supply.

•Be sure nothing rests on your computer system’s

cables and that the cables are not located where they

can be stepped on or tripped over.

•Do not spill food or liquids on your computer.

•Do not push any objects into the openings of your

computer. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock

by shorting out interior components.

•Keep your computer away from radiators and heat

sources. Also, do not block cooling vents. Avoid

placing loose papers underneath your computer; do

not place your computer in a closed-in wall unit or

on a rug.

Ergonomic Computing Habits

For comfort and efficiency, observe the following ergo-

nomic guidelines when setting up and using your

computer system:

•Position your system so that the monitor and key-

board are directly in front of you as you work.

Special shelves are available (from Dell and other

sources) to help you correctly position your

keyboard.

•Set the monitor at a comfortable viewing distance

(usually 510 to 610 millimeters [20 to 24 inches]

from your eyes).

•Make sure the monitor screen is at eye level or

slightly lower when you are sitting in front of the

monitor.

•Adjust the tilt of the monitor, its contrast and bright-

ness settings, and the lighting around you (such as

overhead lights, desk lamps, and the curtains or

blinds on nearby windows) to minimize reflections

and glare on the monitor screen.

WARNING: The power supplies in this computer

system produce high voltages and energy hazards,

which can cause bodily harm. Only trained service

technicians are authorized to remove the computer

coversand access any of the components inside the

computer.

WARNING: Improper or prolonged keyboard use

may result in injury.

•Use a chair that provides good lower back support.

•Keep your forearms horizontal with your wrists in a

neutral, comfortable position while using the key-

board or mouse.

•Always leave space to rest your hands while using

the keyboard or mouse.

•Let your upper arms hang naturally at your sides.

•Sit erect, with your feet resting on the floor and your

thighs level.

•When sitting, make sure the weight of your legs is on

your feet and not on the front of your chair seat.

Adjust your chair’s height or use a footrest, if neces-

sary, to maintain proper posture.

•Vary your work activities. Try to organize your work

so that you do not have to type for extended periods

of time without stopping. When you stop typing, try

to do things that use both hands.

arms at desk level

feet flat on the floor

monitor screen at or below eye level

monitor and keyboard

positioned directly

in front of user

wrists relaxed and flat

When Working With Your

Computer

Take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:

•Do not attempt to service the computer system your-

self, except as explained in this guide and elsewhere

in Dell documentation. Always follow installation

and servicing instructions closely.

•To help avoid possible damage to the system board,

wait five seconds after turning off the system before

disconnecting a peripheral device from the

computer.

•When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector

or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself.

Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if

you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on

the locking tabs before disconnecting the cable. As

you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned

to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before

you connect a cable, make sure both connectors are

correctly oriented and aligned.

Preface

About This Guide

This guide is intended for anyone who uses a Dell Power-

Edge 4100/180 or 4100/200 computer system.The guide

can be used by both first-time and experienced computer

users who want to learn about the features and operation

of the systems or who want to upgrade their computers.

The chapters and appendices are summarized as follows:

•Everyone should read Chapter 1, “Introduction,” for

an overview of the system features, a description of

the controls and indicators on the front panel, and a

general discussion of connecting external devices to

the back panel of the computer.

•Users who want to install video drivers for their

operating system should read Chapter 2, “Using the

Dell Server Assistant CD.”

•Everyone should read the first few sections of Chap-

ter 3, “Installing and Configuring SCSI Drivers,” to

find out which small computer system interface

(SCSI) device drivers (if any) are required for a par-

ticular system configuration. Users who need to

install and configure particular SCSI device drivers

should then read the appropriate section for their

operating system.

•Everyone should read the first several sections of

Chapter 4, “Using the System Setup Program,” to

familiarize themselves with this important program.

Only users who want to make configuration changes

to their system or who want to use the password fea-

tures need to read the rest of Chapter 4.

•Everyone should read Chapter 5, “Using the EISA

Configuration Utility.” If you change settings for one

of the built-in devices, have an Extended Industry-

Standard Architecture (EISA) or Industry-Standard

Architecture (ISA) expansion card added or

removed, or have additional memory installed, you

must run this utility.

•Chapter 6, “Installing SCSI Hard-Disk Drives,”

describes how to install SCSI hard-disk drives in the

computer’s six internal drive bays.

•Appendix A, “Technical Specifications,” and Appen-

dix B, “I/O Ports and Connectors,” are intended

primarily as reference material for users interested in

learning more about the details of the system.

•Appendix C, “Maintaining the System,” describes

preventive maintenance procedures that you should

perform regularly to keep your computer system in

top operating condition.

•Appendix D, “Regulatory Notices,” is for users who

are interested in which regulatory agencies have

tested and approved the Dell PowerEdge 4100/180

and 4100/200 systems.

describes the warranties for the Dell PowerEdge

4100/180 and 4100/200 systems and the “Total Sat-

isfaction” Return Policy.

•The Glossary provides definitions of terms, acro-

nyms, and abbreviations used in this guide.
