Maintaining Your Computer 3-1
Maintaining Your
Computer
Your system is a durable, dependable computer built for
lots of use. With protective measures and proper care, you
can prevent problems and promote the successful operation
and long life span of your computer.
This chapter provides information for taking care of your
computer and preparing it for moving or shipping.
SYSTEM CARE
Use the guidelines in the following sections to protect your
system from possible damage and to maintain its condition
and performance.
Protective Measures
There are several ways that you can protect your system
from possible damage. NEC strongly recommends the
following protective measures:
■ Connect a surge suppressor between your computer and
a grounded wall outlet. A surge suppressor protects your
system from sudden transient increases and decreases in
electrical power.
Be sure to connect all peripherals, such as your monitor
and printer, to the surge protector. The surge protector
should be the only device that you plug into the wall
outlet.
■ Avoid repeated power-on cycles as this subjects the
system components to temperature variations and stress.
