GETTING STARTED
This chapter provides important information to help you site,
connect, power and configure the computer.
Warning
Read the power guidelines which can be found in the Safety &
Regulatory section of this manual before using the computer for the first
time.
General advice
This computer is designed to be used in a normal home or office
environment. Here are a few hints for choosing a suitable site:
♦
Place the system unit flat on a sturdy, level surface.
♦
Site the computer away from moisture, direct sunlight, and
extremes of heat and cold. Avoid situations in which the
surrounding temperature or humidity may change rapidly.
(See Appendix C,
Technical Information,
for recommended
temperature and humidity ranges.)
♦
When positioning the system unit, monitor and keyboard, take
into account any local or national regulations relating to
ergonomic requirements. For example, you should ensure that
little or no ambient light is reflected off the monitor screen as
glare, and that the keyboard is placed in a comfortable position
for typing.
♦
Give the computer plenty of room so that air can circulate on
all sides. Air is drawn into the system unit through vents on
the front and on the left-hand side, and expelled through the
vent on the back. Ensure that these vents are never obstructed.
Do not allow any cables, particularly power cords, to trail across the
floor where they can be snagged by people walking past.
