Routine Care
Follow these suggestions to take care of your personal computer and
monitor:
■ Operate the personal 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 personal computer with the cover or side panel
removed.
■ Never restrict the airflow into the personal computer by blocking
the air intake or exhaust vents.
■ Keep the personal computer away from excessive moisture, direct
sunlight, and extremes of heat and cold.
■ Keep liquids away from the personal computer and keyboard.
■ Never cover the ventilation slots on the monitor with any type of
material.
■ Turn off the personal computer before you do either of the
following:
❏ Wipe the exterior of the personal computer with a soft, damp
cloth as needed. Using cleaning products may discolor or
damage the finish.
❏ Occasionally clean the air intake and exhaust vents on the
personal computer. Lint and other foreign matter can block
the vents and limit the airflow.
