Getting Started
This chapter provides an overview of the Toshiba Equium™ 8000S
computer, and explains how to set it up.
Making sure you have everything
Before you do anything else, consult the Quick Start card (packed at the
top of the box) to make sure you have received everything.
Unpack the boxes and check the contents against your purchasing order.
If any items are missing or damaged, notify your authorised Toshiba
representative or your network administrator immediately.
Creating a computer-friendly environment
The computer’s configuration allows use in any office environment.
Choose an area that is large enough for the computer and any other
items you need to use, such as a local printer.
To prevent overheating, leave enough space around the computer and
other equipment to provide adequate ventilation.
The work area must be free from:
YDust, moisture, and direct sunlight
YLiquids and corrosive chemicals
If you spill liquid into the computer, turn it off, unplug it from the
AC power source, and let it dry out completely before turning it on
again.
If the computer does not operate correctly after you turn it back on,
contact your Toshiba-authorised service provider.
YEquipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such as
large stereo speakers or speakerphones.
YRapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of
temperature change such as air conditioner vents or heaters
YExtreme heat, cold or humidity. Operate the computer within a
temperature range of 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C) and 30% to 80%
humidity.
