Using Your Computer 2-21
SYSTEM CARE
Your system is a durable, dependable computer built for
heavy use. With protective measures and proper care, you
can prevent problems and promote the successful operation
and long life span of your computer.
Protecting Your System from Damage
There are several ways that you can protect your system
from possible damage. NECCSD strongly recommends the
following protective measures:
Connect a surge suppressor between your computer and
a grounded wall outlet. A surge suppressor protects your
system from sudden transient increases and decreases in
electrical power.
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.
Lightning 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.
