Routine Computer Care
Follow these suggestions to take care of the computer and monitor:
■
Operate the computer on a sturdy, level surface. Leave a 3-inch
(7.6-cm) clearance at the back of the system unit and above the
monitor to permit the required airflow.
■
Never operate the computer with the cover or side panel removed.
■
Never restrict the airflow into the computer by blocking the front
vents or air intake. Do not place the keyboard, with the keyboard
feet down, directly against the front of the desktop unit as this
also restricts airflow.
■
Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight,
and extremes of heat and cold. For information about the
recommended temperature and humidity ranges for the computer,
refer to
Appendix A, “Specifications”
in this guide.
■
Keep liquids away from the computer and keyboard.
■
Never cover the ventilation slots on the monitor with any type of
material.
■
Turn off the computer before you do either of the following:
❏
Wipe the exterior of the computer with a soft, damp cloth as
needed. Using cleaning products may discolor or damage the
finish.
❏
Occasionally clean the air vents on the front and back of the
computer. Lint and other foreign matter can block the vents
and limit the airflow.
