System Features
Vertical desktop feature
You can set up your desktop to sit vertically by using a stand included with
your accessory kit. This setup saves space and transforms your desktop into
a minitower computer. See the illustrated instructions included with your
accessory kit or the illustration below for more information.
To convert your computer to a tower:
1
Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.
2
Lift the right side of the computer until it rests vertically on its left side.
3
Lift the front of the computer by pushing on the top front, rocking it
back, and place the plastic stand in the grooves provided for that purpose.
4
Lower the front of the computer, allowing it to balance on the stand.
5
Reconnect the power cord and cables you disconnected.
Important If you set your system up vertically, make sure to use a
CD drive with retaining clips. You can use these clips to
hold the CD in place when using the vertical desktop
feature. The CD drive that ships with your system includes
these clips.
