Before Setting Up Your Computer

When positioning your computer, ensure that you allow easy access to a power source, adequate ventilation, and a level surface to place your computer.

Restricting airflow around your computer may cause it to overheat. To prevent overheating ensure that you leave at least 10.2 cm (4 inches) at the back of the computer and a minimum

of 5.1 cm (2 inches) on all other sides. You should never put your computer in an enclosed space, such as a cabinet or drawer when it is powered on.
