Operating guidelines
This information details how to prevent overheating and to help prolong the life of the computer.
● Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extremes of heat and cold.
● Operate the computer on a sturdy, level surface. Leave a 10.2 cm (4 inch) clearance on all vented sides of
the computer and above the monitor to permit the required airflow.
●
Never restrict the airflow into the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes. Do not place the keyboard,
with the keyboard feet down, directly against the front of the desktop unit as this also restricts airflow.
● Occasionally clean the air vents on all vented sides of the computer. Lint, dust, and other foreign matter can
block the vents and limit the airflow. Be sure to unplug the computer before cleaning the air vents.
●
Never operate the computer with the cover or side panel removed.
