Chapter 1: Setting Up Your System

Protecting

To prevent normal electrical problems such as spikes or surges, install a power surge/
filter between the power outlet and all of the connected components. If even one
component is not connected, the entire system could be at risk.
If a severe storm enters your area, completely unplug the entire system from all electrical
sources, including phone lines. Lightning can travel in on any line and destroy all
connected components.
If possible, do not turn the system on and off frequently. This stresses the power supply
and may shorten the life of some components. To restart the system, press the reset
button located in the front of the case. If applications are open and the system is reset
or if the hard drive is active, data loss will most certainly occur. If you do not use the reset
button to restart the system, be sure the hard drive has come to a complete stop before
turning the computer on again.

Backing Up

Even with today's technology, data loss can occur at any time. We cannot stress enough
that you should back up often. There is a large number of backup systems available from
retail and mail-order outlets, including floppy drive backup systems, tape backup
systems, and optical backup systems. 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.
