1 Setting Up the System
Follow the instructions in this chapter to set up the operating system and associated system
software on your StudioZ RenderRAX workstation. To install the hardware to your system,
refer to the instructions in the Rack-Mount Workstation/Server Installation Guide.
Precautions
Observe the following precautions when using the system:
u
When restarting the system, use the operating system controls instead of turning the
power switch off and on. Use the power switch only when instructed, or as the last
alternative for restarting the system.
u
Never turn off power to the base unit when the disk access LED is on.
u
After turning off power to the base unit, wait at least 30 seconds before turning the power
on again to ensure that the disk drives have stopped and the system has power-cycled
properly.
u
Run virus scan software periodically to ensure that your system’s files and programs are
not corrupted.
System Accessories
If you purchased accessory equipment, such as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or
concentrator, user information is provided in documents delivered with the equipment.
Sliding Rack-Mount Devices
The RenderRAX and keyboard tray (if included) slide out of the rack for easy access, and are
designed to lock in place when they are fully extended. If you purchased a keyboard tray,
refer to the Rack-Mount Workstation/Server Installation Guide for more information.
