Getting Started
This chapter provides tips for working comfortably, describes
how to connect components, and explains what to do the first
time you use your computer.

Selecting a place to work

Your computer is designed to be used in a variety of locations
and situations. This section provides guidelines for setting up
your computing environment.
Creating a computer-friendly environment
Place the computer on a flat surface that is large enough for
the computer and any other items you need to use, such as a
printer. Leave enough space around the computer and other
equipment to give adequate ventilation, otherwise, they may
overheat.
To keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect
your work area from:
❖Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight
❖Liquids and corrosive chemicals
