Installation Guide 5

Connect the cables

1. Connect the mouse and keyboard cables into the

corresponding connectors at the back of the server.

2. Place your monitor near your server. Connect the

monitor signal cable to the back of the monitor and

then connect it to the matching connector at the back

of your server.

3. Connect the monitor power cord to the back of the

monitor and then connect it to the matching connec-

tor at the back of your server or into a wall outlet.

NOTE

Some large screen monitors (17-inch diagonal and over)

require more power than the server’s auxiliary ac outlet

can supply.These monitors will have power cords that

must be connected directly into a wall outlet.

Prioris Servers6

Connecting to your network

10Base-T (Twisted-Pair)

Your Prioris server is shipped network ready with con-

nectors and onboard circuitry for both 10Base-T

(Twisted-Pair) and 10Base-2 (EtherNet ThinWire) net-

work cabling.

Contact your network administrator before connecting to

either network type.

10Base-2 (ThinWire)

Installation Guide 7

Connect the power cord

Connect the ac power cord to the server, then to your

power outlet.

CAUTION

If your server has a voltage select switch, the

switch must match the voltage supplied by your

outlet.In North American countries, 115 V ac

current is common. In other countries, 230V ac

current is common.Make sure that the voltage

select switch is set to the correct voltage.If it is

not set correctly, you can damage your server.

The voltage select switch is located above the

monitor power outlet.

Do not attempt to modify or use an external

100 V ac (Japan only) or 115 V ac power cord

for 220-240 V ac input power. Modifying either

power cord can cause severe equipment

damage.
