Preinstallation

The preinstallation process involves the following activities:

· Selecting a site

· Unpacking components

Selecting a Site

Consider the following when selecting a site for your computer:

· Determine the best site for your system.  Cable paths 
should not run near equipment that might cause 
electromagnetic or radio frequency interference such as 
radio transmitters, television sets, copy machines, or heating 
and air conditioning equipment.

· Route cables away from personnel and equipment traffic.

· Avoid dusty areas and extremes of temperature and 
humidity.

Unpacking Components

Unpack the contents of each box carefully.  Save all packing 
materials in case you need to move or ship the system in the 
future.

Check that all items are present and in good condition.  Contact 
your dealer immediately if anything is missing or damaged.
