Setting Up the System 2-7
If you plan to use software programs other than NECC-supplied
software, NECC strongly recommends that you take the necessary
steps, such as virus checks, to protect the system.
Position the system 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 drive to
spin down before you power on again.
Be sure that nothing is placed on top of the system power cables.
Keeping Your System in Good Condition
Maintain the condition of your system by periodically using the following
procedures.
For safety, power off and unplug your system,
monitor, and any external devices before cleaning them.
Prevent dust from entering the system by covering it when it is not in
use.
Clean the outside of the system with a soft clean cloth.
Remove stubborn stains with a cloth slightly dampened with a mild
detergent. Never use a strong cleaner or solvent on any part of the
system.
Keep food and liquids away from your system.
Periodically clean the keyboard with a vacuum cleaner brush
attachment. Do not use any liquid cleaners on the keyboard as they
can damage the keyboard.
If an object, such as a paper clip, falls into the keyboard, turn the
keyboard over and gently shake it.
