Operating Guidelines

To prevent overheating and to help prolong the life of the computer:

Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extremes of heat and cold.

Operate the computer on a sturdy, level surface. Leave a 10.2-cm (4-inch) clearance on all vented

sides of the computer and above the monitor to permit the required airflow.

Never restrict the airflow into the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes. Do not place the

keyboard, with the keyboard feet down, directly against the front of the desktop unit as this also

restricts airflow.

Occasionally clean the air vents on all vented sides of the computer. Lint, dust, and other foreign

matter can block the vents and limit the airflow. Be sure to unplug the computer before cleaning the

air vents.

Never operate the computer with the cover or side panel removed.

Do not stack computers on top of each other or place computers so near each other that they are

subject to each other’s re-circulated or preheated air.

If the computer is to be operated within a separate enclosure, intake and exhaust ventilation must be

provided on the enclosure, and the same operating guidelines listed above will still apply.

Keep liquids away from the computer and keyboard.

Never cover the ventilation slots on the monitor with any type of material.

Install or enable power management functions of the operating system or other software, including

sleep states.

Routine Care

General Cleaning Safety Precautions

1

.

Never use solvents or flammable solutions to clean the computer.

2

.

Never immerse any parts in water or cleaning solutions; apply any liquids to a clean cloth and then

use the cloth on the component.

3

.

Always unplug the computer when cleaning with liquids or damp cloths.

4

.

Always unplug the computer before cleaning the keyboard, mouse, or air vents.

5

.

Disconnect the keyboard before cleaning it.

6

.

Wear safety glasses equipped with side shields when cleaning the keyboard.

Cleaning the Computer Case

Follow all safety precautions in
