Chapter 1 Setting Up the ReadySystem 1U
ReadySystem 1U Users Guide 3
Setting Up the Workspace
CAUTION To prevent damage to the ReadySystem 1U, ensure there is sufficient clearance
around the air vents for unrestricted airflow.
The air temperature inside the enclosure could rise above the specified operating
temperature limits if the airflow through the vents is restricted.
4) Select workbench
location
• The workbench location should be a flat clean surface for setup and operation
(including the connection of any external peripherals and optional devices).
• Ensure sufficient airflow clearance exists around the complete enclosure.
5) Unpack
ReadySystem 1U
• Remove the ReadySystem 1U from its shipping container and place it on a flat
work surface.
The ReadyBoard model and the hard drive with the desired OS pre-installed
form a complete system ready for operation.
Installing the Mounting Hardware
6) Connect the appropriate
mounting hardware
• Connect the mounting hardware for surface mounting to the bottom
or rear of the ReadySystem 1U. See Figure 1-2.
The four plastic feet are mounted prior to shipment and will protect
the paint finish on the bottom of the enclosure.
Optional rack mount brackets are available for mounting the
ReadySystem into the standard 1U rack mounting space.
