Caring For Your Computer - HP Deskpro 1000 Reference Manual

Caring for Your
Computer
Operate the computer on a sturdy, level surface such as
a desk or table.
Leave a three-inch (7.6-cm) clearance at the back of the
system unit and above the monitor to permit required
airflow.
Never restrict the airflow into the computer by blocking the
front vents or air intake.
Do not place the keyboard, with the keyboard feet down,
directly against the front of the unit as this will restrict the
airflow.
Never cover the ventilation slots on the monitor with any
type of material.
Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct
sunlight, and extremes of heat and cold.
For information about the recommended temperature and
humidity ranges for your computer, refer to Appendix B,
"Technical Specifications."
Keep liquids away from the computer and keyboard.
For the following suggestions, be sure the computer is
turned off.
Clean the exterior of the computer, the monitor casing, and
the outer surfaces of the keyboard with a soft cloth
dampened with water as needed. Wipe with a soft, lint-free
cloth to remove any moisture. Using cleaning products may
discolor or damage the finish.
Visible debris underneath or between the keyboard keys
may be removed by vacuuming or gentle shaking.
Wipe the monitor screen with a clean cloth moistened with
water or with a towelette designed for cleaning monitors.
Do not use sprays or aerosols directly on the screen, as
liquid may seep into the housing and damage internal
components.
Occasionally clean the air vents on the front and back of the
computer. Lint and other foreign matter can block the vents
and limit the airflow.
