Chapter 1 Setting Up Your System; Finding A Place For Your Computer - HP Pavilion 8290 User Manual

1 Setting Up Your System
Thank you for choosing a Hewlett-Packard
Pavilion PC. To maximize your comfort and
productivity, it is important that you set up and
use your system properly.
Finding a Place for
Your Computer
Keep these recommendations in mind when you
choose a place for your computer:
Choose a room that is dry, clean, and well
ventilated.
Place the computer on a strong, flat surface
with enough space to move the mouse around.
Provide access to the back of the computer
and the display during setup.
Use grounded, three-prong electrical outlets
for the computer and display. HP recommends
that you also use a power strip with surge
protection.
Place the computer near a phone jack so that
you can connect the modem. The modem is
needed to send and receive faxes and e-mail,
and to log on to the Internet.
Consider the location of the windows in the
room—if the display reflects direct sunlight,
viewing the display may be uncomfortable.
