Computer Operating Guidelines and Routine Care

Follow these guidelines to properly set up and care for the computer and monitor:

Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extremes of heat and cold. For information about the recommended temperature and humidity ranges for the computer, refer to Appendix A, “Specifications” in this guide.

Operate the computer on a sturdy, level surface. Leave a 10.2-cm (4-inch) clearance on all vented sides of the computer and above the monitor to permit the required airflow.

Never restrict the airflow into the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes. Do not place the keyboard, with the keyboard feet down, directly against the front of the desktop unit as this also restricts airflow.

Never operate the computer with the cover or side panel removed.

Do not stack computers on top of each other or place computers so near each other that they are subject to each other’s re-circulated or preheated air.

If the computer is to be operated within a separate enclosure, intake and exhaust ventilation must be provided on the enclosure, and the same operating guidelines listed above will still apply.

Keep liquids away from the computer and keyboard.

Never cover the ventilation slots on the monitor with any type of material.
