HIPPING
Follow these suggestions to take care of your computer and monitor:
Operate the computer on a sturdy, level surface. Leave a
3-inch (7.6-cm) clearance at the back of the system unit and
above the monitor to permit the required airflow.
Never operate the computer with the cover or side panel
removed.
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 desktop
unit as this also restricts airflow.
Never use a desktop computer on its side (resembling a
"tower" configuration).
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 A, "Specifications," in
this guide.
Keep liquids away from the computer and keyboard.
Never cover the ventilation slots on the monitor with any
type of material.
