System Care
Your system is a durable system built for dependable use. With protective
measures and proper care, you can prevent problems and promote the
successful operation and long life span of your system.
Protecting Your System From Damage
There are several ways that you can protect your system from possible
damage. NEC CSD strongly recommends the following protective
measures.
!
Connect a surge suppressor between your system and a grounded wall
outlet. A surge suppressor protects your system from sudden transient
increases and decreases in electrical power.
Be sure to connect all peripherals, such as your 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
!
components 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 LCD panel and system unit.
Be sure that system power is off before you connect or disconnect a
!
cable (USB devices do not require powering down the system when
connecting). 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
!
Chapter 3). You should also use the Network Associates VirusScan
protection software provided with your system to protect the system
from 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 protect your system.
