If you purchased your computer outside of the United States,
please contact your dealer or the marketing location nearest
you for customer support and service. International marketing
locations are listed on the inside back cover of this manual.
Preparing to Set Up the System
It’s important to choose a safe, convenient location for your
system that provides the following:
A flat, hard surface. Surfaces like carpeted floors and beds
attract static electricity, which can erase data on your disks,
damage the computer’s circuitry, and prevent proper
ventilation.
Good air circulation. Leave several inches of space around
the computer so air can move freely.
Moderate environmental conditions. Select a cool, dry area
and protect your computer from extremes in temperature,
humidity, dust, and smoke. Avoid direct sunlight or any
other source of heat.
No electromagnetic interference. Do not place your system
too close to any electrical device, such as a telephone, that
generates an electromagnetic field.
Appropriate power cords. Connect all your equipment with
the appropriate power cords for the power source in your
area. If you are operating the computer in a country other
than the one in which you purchased it, see “Power Source
Requirements” in Appendix B of the
User's Guide
for a list
of the cords you should use.
