Page 43: System Care
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: Keep the feet on the minitower system turned out. The feet prevent the system from being tipped over.
Page 44 (see “BIOS Features Setup” in Chapter 3). Use appropriate virus detection software regularly to protect your system from computer 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.
Page 45: Keeping Your System In Good Condition
Keeping Your System in Good Condition Maintain the condition of your system by periodically using the following general procedures. WARNING For safety, power off and unplug your system, monitor, and any external devices before cleaning them. Clean the outside of the computer with a soft clean cloth. You can remove stubborn stains with a cloth slightly dampened with a mild detergent.
Page 46: Moving Or Shipping Your System
Moving or Shipping Your System Use these steps to prepare your system for moving or shipping: 1. Back up the files on the hard drive to diskettes, Zip disks, or tape cartridges. Be sure to take precautions for storing and transporting Zip disks, diskettes, or tape cartridges so that they are not exposed to magnetic fields or electrical impulses.

Page 119: Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions Observe safety rules when working inside the system and when handling computer components. Avoid electric shock or personal injury by observing the following warning. WARNING Before removing system covers, turn off the power and unplug the system power cable. Power is removed only when the power cable is unplugged.
Page 120: Small Desktop And Desktop System Unit Cover
Always hold a chip or board by its edges. Avoid touching the components on the chip or board. Take care when connecting or disconnecting cables. A damaged cable can cause a short in the electrical circuit. When installing a cable, route the cable so it is not pinched by other components and is out of the path of the system unit covers.
Page 121 Note: If the cover is removed, LANDesk Client Manager logs the intrusion and reports it in a screen message the next time the system is booted. This message appears every time the system is rebooted until the report is cleared.

Page 239: Making Your Computer Work For You
WARNING Prolonged or improper use of a computer workstation may pose a risk of serious injury. To reduce your risk of injury, set up and use your computer in the manner described in this appendix. Contact a doctor if you experience pain, tenderness, swelling, burning, cramping, stiffness, throbbing, weakness, soreness, tingling and/or numbness in the hands, wrists, arms,...
Page 240 Although some studies have shown an association between increasing hours of keyboard use and the development of some musculoskeletal disorders, it is still unclear whether working at a computer causes such disorders. Some doctors believe that using the keyboard and mouse may aggravate existing musculoskeletal disorders.
Page 241: Arrange Your Equipment
Arrange Your Equipment Arrange your equipment so that you can work in a natural and relaxed position. Place items that you use frequently within easy reach. Adjust your workstation setup to the proper height (as described in this appendix) by lowering the table or stand that holds your computer equipment or raising the seat height of your chair.
Page 242: Adjust Your Chair
Adjust Your Chair Your chair should be adjustable and stable. Vary your posture throughout the day. Check the following: Keep your body in a relaxed yet upright position. The backrest of your chair should support the inward curve of your back. Use the entire seat and backrest to support your body.
Page 243 Your seat depth should allow your lower back to comfortably contact the backrest. Make sure that the backs of your lower legs do not press against the front of the chair. Extend your lower legs slightly so that the angle between your thighs and lower legs is 90°...
Page 244: Adjust Your Input Devices
Adjust Your Input Devices Follow these points in positioning your keyboard and mouse. Position your keyboard directly in front of you. Avoid reaching when using your keyboard or mouse. If you use a mouse, position it at the same height as the keyboard and next to the keyboard.
Page 245 Type with your hands and wrists floating above the keyboard. Use a wrist pad only to rest your wrists between typing. Avoid resting your wrists on sharp edges. Type with your wrists straight. Instead of twisting your wrists sideways to press hard-to-reach keys, move your whole arm.
Page 246: Adjust Your Monitor
Adjust Your Monitor Correct placement and adjustment of the monitor can reduce eye, shoulder, and neck fatigue. Check the following when you position the monitor. Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level. Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the screen.
Page 247 Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not reflect on your screen. If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.
Page 248: Vary Your Workday
Vary Your Workday If you use your computer for prolonged periods, follow these instructions. Vary your tasks throughout the day. Take frequent short breaks that involve walking, standing, and stretching. During these breaks, stretch muscles and joints that were in one position for an extended period of time.
Page 249: Pre-Existing Conditions And Psychosocial Factors
To enhance blood circulation, alter your sitting posture periodically and keep your hands and wrists warm. Note: For more information on workstation setup, see the American National Standard for Human Factors Engineering of Visual Display Terminal Workstations. ANSI/HFS Standard No. 100-1988.
