Where to put the Production Unit
A cleared-off desk or table is a perfect location. Look out for the proximity of a
power outlet.
You should try to avoid dirt, dust and smoke, since these might cause system
failure. Also, keep your Production Unit away from strong magnetic fields. This
includes fans, air conditioners, radios, large speaker systems, and other electric
motors.
Do not set up your system in a room with extreme conditions of temperature and
humidity. Temperatures in a room too hot or too cold could cause your
Production Unit to misbehave. Dampness causes oxidation, and dryness causes
static electricity.
Heat is probably the single most damaging environmental element to the
Production Unit. Because of this, never push the rear of the unit against a
bookcase, wall, or anything that restricts the air from circulating freely around
the entire case. Do not place a TV or monitor directly on top of the unit. If the
fan outlet on the back of the Production Unit or any of the ventilation holes are
blocked, heat builds up inside the computer. A marginal heat problem can be
exacerbated by accumulated filth from dirt, dust and smoke.
Do not place the Production Unit in direct sunlight, near a radiator, lamp, or a
heat vent. Remember that heat causes electronic circuitry to behave in strange
ways. When electronic components heat up, they tend to fail. If this happens, it
may not be a permanent failure, but could lead to one.
