Setting Up Your System
This chapter describes how to set up and start using your
computer system for the first time. before you set up your
system, be sure to read the “Important Safety Instructions” at
the beginning of this manual.
Preparing to Set Up Your System
It is important to choose a safe, convenient location for your
system that provides the following:
A flat, hard surface. Place the computer on an anti-static
mat if the surface is carpeted.
Good air circulation. Leave several inches of space around
the computer so air can move freely for proper cooling.
Moderate environmental conditions. Select a cool, dry, area
and protect your computer from humidity, dust, and
smoke. Avoid direct sunlight and other heat sources.
No electromagnetic interference. Do not place your system
too close to any device that generates an electromagnetic
field or creates electrical noise, such as a telephone, air
conditioner, large fan, radio, TV, or large electric motor.
Access to appropriate power sources. Connect all your
equipment to an appropriate source. (See “Power Source
Requirements” in Appendix B for more information. Also
see “Setting the Voltage Selector Switch” on page 1-4 for
information about setting the correct voltage.)
