System Care
The 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 the system.
Protecting Your System From Damage
There are several ways that you can protect the system from possible
damage. NEC Computers strongly recommends the following protective
measures.
T Connect a surge suppressor between the system and a grounded wall
outlet. A surge suppressor protects the system from sudden transient
increases and decreases in electrical power.
Be sure to connect all peripherals, such as a printer, to the surge
suppressor. The surge protector should be the only device that you
plug into the wall outlet.
T Avoid repeated power-on cycles. These subject the system
components to temperature variations and stress.
T Disconnect the 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
the LCD panel and system unit.
T Except for USB devices, ensure that system power is off before
connecting or disconnecting a cable; otherwise damage to the system
and its peripherals might occur. USB devices do not require powering
down the system when connecting or disconnecting a device.
T Use your Norton virus scan protection software regularly to protect
the system from viruses.
If you plan to load software programs other than the ones NEC
Computers has supplied on the PowerMate Application and Driver
CD, NEC Computers strongly recommends that you take the
necessary steps, such as backing up your system and performing virus
checks, to protect the system and your data.
