Arranging a comfortable and productive work area

Arranging your work area

When you arrange your computer, position your monitor and keyboard directly in
front of you. Place the mouse close to the keyboard so that you can use it without
stretching or leaning over to one side.
The system unit is usually kept on the floor under or beside your desk. Be sure to
place it in an area that will not block the space you need to put your legs under the
work surface.
Organize your desk to reflect the way you use work materials and equ ipment. Plac e
the things that you use most regularly, such as a mouse or telephone, within the
easiest reach.
Note: The computer you purchased may have components
which are different from those shown here.
