Setting Up Your System

Follow the instructions on the poster that came with your system for
assembling your system. Before you assemble your system, prepare a safe
working environment for it.
•
Provide a clean, flat, and stable surface for your system. Allow at
least 30cm at the rear of the computer for cabling and air
circulation.
•
Obtain a grounded (three-prong) AC surge-protected power strip.
A surge-protected power strip helps protect against AC line spikes.
•
Protect your system from extreme temperature and humidity. Do
not expose your system to direct sunlight, heater ducts, or other
heat-generating objects.
•
Keep your computer away from equipment that generates magnetic
fields, such as unshielded stereo speakers. Even a telephone placed
too close to the computer may cause interference.
•
Plug the computer into a wall outlet or power strip that is easily
accessible. When you turn off the computer with the power button,
some electricity still flows through the computer. To remove all
power from the computer, you need to unplug it.
