Routine Care

Follow these suggestions to take care of your personal computer and monitor:

Operate the personal computer on a sturdy, level surface. Leave a 3-inch (7.6-cm) clearance at the back of the system unit and above the monitor to permit the required airflow.

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

Never restrict the airflow into the personal computer by blocking the air intake or exhaust vents.

Keep the personal computer away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extremes of heat and cold. For information about the recommended temperature and humidity ranges for your personal computer, refer to the Specifications in Appendix A. Keep liquids away from the personal computer and keyboard.

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

Turn off the personal computer before you do either of the following:

Wipe the exterior of the personal computer with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Using cleaning products may discolor or damage the finish.

Occasionally clean the air intake and exhaust vents on the personal computer. Lint and other foreign matter can block the vents and limit the airflow.
