The Environment
2.1 Site Requirements
• Air should flow freely around your workstation to keep heat from building
up and damaging the equipment.
Leave 4 inches (10 centimeters) between system unit vents and other
objects.
Leave 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) between monitor vents and other objects.
• Relative humidity should be between 10 and 80 percent.
• Store supplies (such as tape cartridges) within these same temperature and
humidity limits.

2.1.2 Cleanliness

• Keep your work area as dust-free as possible.

2.1.3 Interference

• Set up your workstation at least 30 inches (76.2 centimeters) from any
sources of electrical interference, such as other terminals or monitors,
printers, or electric pencil sharpeners.
• To limit its exposure to static electricity and magnetized objects, set up
your workstation away from busy corridors and other high-traffic areas and
away from filing cabinets and steel beams in walls.

2.1.4 Power

• Reserve an entire circuit for your workstation power source. The fuse for
the circuit must be at least 15 amperes.
• Be sure your electrical circuit is properly grounded and free from electrical
noise. If possible, connect a surge-protected power strip to the outlet and
plug your workstation power cord into the power strip.
• Be sure the voltage of the devices you connect to your workstation matches
the voltage of your power source (see the following section, ''Section 2.2'').
