Operating guidelines

To prevent overheating and to help prolong the life of the workstation:

Keep the workstation away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extremes of heat and cold.

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

Never restrict the airflow into the workstation 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.

Occasionally clean the air vents on all vented sides of the workstation. Lint, dust, and other foreign matter can block the vents and limit the airflow. Be sure to unplug the workstation before cleaning the air vents.

Never operate the workstation 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 workstation 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 workstation and keyboard.

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

Install or enable power management functions of the operating system or other software, including sleep states.

Routine care

General cleaning safety precautions

1. Never use solvents or flammable solutions to clean the workstation.

2. Never immerse any parts in water or cleaning solutions; apply any liquids to a clean cloth and then use the cloth on the component.

3. Always unplug the workstation when cleaning with liquids or damp cloths.

4. Always unplug the workstation before cleaning the keyboard, mouse, or air vents.

5. Disconnect the keyboard before cleaning it.

6. Wear safety glasses equipped with side shields when cleaning the keyboard.
