2-22 Using Your Computer
Be sure to connect all peripherals, such as your monitor
and printer, to the surge protector. The surge protector
should be the only device that you plug into the wall
outlet.
„
Avoid repeated power-on cycles. These subject the
system components to temperature variations and stress.
„
Disconnect your system from telephone and power lines
when an electrical storm threatens. If you have a
fax/modem, lightning can travel in on the phone line and
damage both the fax/modem and the system unit.
Lightening can also travel in on power lines and damage
your monitor and system unit.
„
Be sure that system power is off before you connect or
disconnect a cable. Never make cable changes when the
system power is on. To do so could damage your system
and its peripherals.
„
Use appropriate virus detection software regularly to
protect your system from computer viruses.
If you plan to use software programs other than
NECCSD-supplied software, NECCSD strongly
recommends that you take the necessary steps, such as
virus checks, to protect your system.
Use Setup options to set up an automatic reminder to
run a virus check (see “Power Menu” in Chapter 4).
„
Place your computer away from direct sunlight and
extreme hot and cold temperatures.
The recommended operating environment is from 50
°
F
to 95
°
F (10
°
C to 35
°
C).
The recommended non-operating environment (shipping
or storage) is from 14
°
F to 158
°
F (-10
°
C to 70
°
C).
„
After turning off power, wait about five seconds for the
hard disk to spin down before you power on again.
