Getting started with your computer
General advice
The computer is designed to be used in a normal office
environment. Here are a few hints for choosing a suitable
site:
The computer uses the system unit AC power cord
as its "disconnect device". Ensure that the system
unit is positioned close to the AC power outlet, and
that the plug is easily accessible.
To prevent fire and electric shock, do not expose any
part of the system unit to rain or moisture.
2/2 XEN OWNER'S HANDBOOK
•
Place the system unit flat on a sturdy, level surface.
Unlike some other computers, the system unit is not
designed to be stood on its side.
•
Site the system away from moisture, direct sunlight,
and extremes of heat and cold. Avoid situations in
which the surrounding temperature or humidity may
change rapidly. See Appendix B, "Technical
Information", for recommended temperature and
humidity ranges.
•
When positioning the system unit, monitor and
keyboard, take into account any local or national
regulations relating to ergonomic requirements. For
example, you should ensure that little or no ambient
light is reflected off the monitor screen as glare, and
that the keyboard is placed in a comfortable position
for typing.
•
Give the system plenty of room so that air can
circulate on all sides. Air is drawn into the system unit
through the vent on the left-hand side. Ensure that
this vent is never obstructed.
•
Do not allow any cables, particularly power cords, to
trail across the floor where they can be snagged by
people walking past.
