Save these cards to use whenever you move the computer. Also,
if you don’t intend to use your computer for a week or more,
insert the cards to help prevent dust from entering the drives.

Choosing a Location
Before you set up your Apex, it’s important to choose the right
location. Make sure it provides the following:
A large, sturdy area and surface, such as a desk or table,
that can easily support the weight of your Apex and all its
components.
A flat, hard surface. Don’t set the Apex on a soft surface
like a bed or a carpeted floor. Soft surfaces attract static
electricity, which may erase data on your diskettes and
damage the computer’s circuitry. Soft surfaces can also
prevent proper ventilation.
Good air circulation. Your Apex needs air to circulate freely
under it as well as behind it. Leave several inches of space
around the computer for proper ventilation.
Moderate environmental conditions. Avoid extremes in
temperature and humidity; also avoid direct sunlight or
other heat sources. High humidity also hinders operation, so
it’s best to select a cool, dry area for operation. Dust and
smoke, which can cause damage to diskettes and disk drives,
could cause you to lose valuable data.
Appropriate power sources. Static charges can be damaging.
Connect all equipment to three-prong, 120-volt, grounded
outlets. You need at least three outlets, one for the main
unit, one for the monitor, and one for your printer. If you
need more outlets, you may want to buy a power strip.
Available at any electronics store, a power strip provides
four to eight additional outlets. A power strip with surge
suppression is recommended.
