2.5 SITUATING THE SYSTEM
After making the necessary connections, turn the HORIZON, the terminal and the printer
around so that the front of the components face you. Position the equipment so that you can
use it conveniently.
It ;s important to rest the HORIZON and the printer on different surfaces, so that printer
vibration does not affect the computer.
Situate the compter so you have easy access to the floppy disk drlve(s) on the front of the
HORIZON, and can reach the power switch and reset switch on the back of the computer.
The HORIZON can be placed horizontally, as shown in Figure 2-8.
