32 Macintosh
User's
Handbook
I nstallatlon
The installation of the Mac
is
simple and straightforward.
Since the basic system
has only three components, it only takes
a
few
minutes to make the proper connections between the
devices. This section provides instructions for the installation
of the main Mac components as well as the Imagewriter
printer.
CHOOSING A LOCATION
The installation
of
a computer system begins with the
selection of a suitable location for the equipment. The compu-
ter system must be located on a firm surface near an electrical
outlet. The equipment should be located in an area where the
computer
will
not be exposed
to
any sort
of
hazard. A compu-
ter system should never be exposed
to
dust, intense heat
or
humidity, intense cold,
or
direct sunlight. The electronic com-
ponents within the computer generate a moderate amount
of
heat during normal operation. Therefore, do not place the
computer at a location where ventilation
is
restricted.
A computer system should not share an electrical outlet
with heavy equipment or be powered
by
an outlet controlled
by
a wall switch. These types
of
situations often cause electrical
disturbances that can seriously disrupt the operation of the
system.
UNPACKING
Proceed with the installation
of
the system by unpacking
the components. All
of
the following parts should be included
with the system.
If
all of these parts cannot be located, contact
your dealer as soon
as
possible.
