Hardware Maintenance
The computer is designed for durability and long operating life.
Follow the routine care guidelines described in this chapter to extend the
life of the computer and maintain its peak performance.
• Carry and store the computer in a portable carrying case.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the display, do not
place anything on top of the computer, even when it is in the
carrying case.
• Avoid exposing the computer to direct sunlight, extreme
temperatures, or ultraviolet light for extended periods.
CAUTION: Do not expose the computer or drives to temperature or
humidity extremes.
• Keep the computer clean. Dust buildup can raise the temperature of
internal components.
WARNING! To avoid potential discomfort or burns, do not block
the air vents or use the computer on your lap for extended periods.
The computer is designed to run demanding applications at full
power. As a result of increased power consumption, it is normal for
the computer to feel warm or hot when used continuously.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the
computer:
Always disconnect the computer from the AC outlet and disconnect
peripherals from the computer before attempting to clean the
computer or any of its components.
