Chapter 4, "Common Problems." Turning Off Your System Micron recommends that you power down your system in the following order: 1. Exit all applications you are running and save any changes. 2. Make sure that ALL disk activity has completely stopped. The floppy and hard drive indicator lights should be off and the floppy drive motors should be stopped.
Maintenance Operating Environment Your Micron computer has been manufactured to the highest standards. With proper care, it should provide years of trouble-free service. To ensure that your system has the longest life possible, it should be placed in an area with good ventilation and low humidity, out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources or lamps.
Any of these alternatives are highly recom- mended. Complete, frequent backups can save years of data from total and irretrievable destruction. If you require additional information about backup systems or options, please contact Micron Electronics, Inc. Micron Electronics, Inc. 1-13...
