Be sure to connect all peripherals, such as your monitor and printer, to the surge suppressor. The surge protector should be the only device that you plug into the wall outlet.

Avoid repeated power-on cycles. These subject the system

Tcomponents to temperature variations and stress.

Disconnect your system from telephone and power lines when an electrical storm threatens. If you have a fax/modem, lightning can travel in on the phone line and damage both the fax/modem and the system unit. Lightning can also travel in on power lines and damage your monitor and system unit.

Be sure that system power is off before you connect or disconnect a cable. Never make cable changes when the system power is on. Doing so can damage the system and its peripherals.

Use BIOS Setup utility options to protect against viruses (see “Security Menu” in Chapter 3). Use appropriate virus detection software regularly to protect your system from computer viruses.

If you plan to use software programs other than NEC CSD supplied software, NEC CSD strongly recommends that you take the necessary steps, such as virus checks, to

Tprotect your system.

Position your computer away from direct sunlight and extreme hot and cold temperatures.

The recommended operating environment is from 50°F to 95°F (10°C to 35°C).

The recommended non-operating environment (shipping or storage) is from 14°F to 158°F (-10°C to 70°C).
