Data Storage Media; Avoid Jarring; Allow For Ventilation - BELINEA o.max Series User Manual

Data storage media

When you save data to your PC's hard disk or to a floppy disk, it is stored as magnetic
information on the medium. Make sure that data is not damaged by magnetic or electro-
magnetic fields.

Avoid jarring

Because the electronics in your computer can be damaged by jarring, no mechanical devices
should be placed on the same surface as the PC. This is especially important for impact
printers whose vibrations could damage the hard disk.

Allow for ventilation

There is a fan on the back of the PC that maintains the proper temperature inside the case.
In order for it to function properly, the ventilation slots must not be blocked. Blocking them
would cause the inner components to be damaged by high temperatures. That is why it is
not appropriate to install the PC in a shelf unit or drawer.
