Maintaining
Your Computer
This chapter provides basic information about maintaining your computer
hardware and software.
Caring for your computer
Here are ways to extend the life of your system:
■
Be careful not to bump or drop your computer, and do not put any objects
on top of it. The case, although strong, is not made to support extra
weight.
■
When transporting your computer, we recommend that you put it in a
carrying case.
■
Keep diskettes, modular drives, and your computer away from magnetic
fields. Magnetic fields can erase data on both diskettes and hard drives.
■
Never turn off your computer when the hard drive light is on because
data on the hard drive could be lost or corrupted.
■
Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperature changes. The
case can become very brittle and easy to break in cold temperatures and
can melt or warp in high temperatures. Damage due to either extreme
is not covered by your warranty. As a general rule, your computer is safest
at temperatures that are comfortable for you.
■
Keep all liquids away from your computer. Almost any liquid can result
in extremely expensive repairs that are not covered under your warranty.
