Routine Care
Follow these suggestions to take care of your computer and
monitor:
■
Operate the computer on a sturdy, level surface. Leave a
3-inch (7.6-cm) clearance at the back of the system unit and
above the monitor to permit the required airflow.
■
Never operate the computer with the cover removed.
■
Never restrict the airflow into the computer by blocking the
front vents or air intake. Do not place the keyboard, with the
keyboard feet down, directly against the front of the desktop
unit as this also restricts airflow.
■
Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct
sunlight, and extremes of heat and cold. For information
about the recommended temperature and humidity ranges
for your computer, refer to Appendix B, “Specifications."
■
Keep liquids away from the computer and keyboard.
■
Never cover the ventilation slots on the monitor with any
type of material.
✎
Turn off the computer before you do either of the following:
❏
Wipe the exterior of the computer with a soft, damp cloth
as needed. Using cleaning products may discolor or
damage the finish.
❏
Occasionally clean the air vents on the front and back of
the computer. Lint and other foreign matter can block the
vents and limit the airflow.
Turning Off Your
Computer
To properly turn off your computer, click Shut Down on the
Start menu. The computer will automatically shut down.
