HP XW3400 - Manual (Page 65)

Operating guidelines
To prevent overheating and to help prolong the life of the workstation:
● Keep the workstation away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extremes of heat and cold.
● Operate the workstation on a sturdy, level surface. Leave a 10.2-cm (4-inch) clearance on all vented
sides of the workstation and above the monitor to permit the required airflow.
● Never restrict the airflow into the workstation by blocking any vents or air intakes. Do not place the
keyboard, with the keyboard feet down, directly against the front of the desktop unit as this also
restricts airflow.
● Occasionally clean the air vents on all vented sides of the workstation. Lint, dust, and other foreign
matter can block the vents and limit the airflow. Be sure to unplug the workstation before cleaning
the air vents.
● Never operate the workstation with the cover or side panel removed.
● Do not stack computers on top of each other or place computers so near each other that they are
subject to each other’s re-circulated or preheated air.
● If the workstation is to be operated within a separate enclosure, intake and exhaust ventilation must
be provided on the enclosure, and the same operating guidelines listed above will still apply.
● Keep liquids away from the workstation and keyboard.
● Never cover the ventilation slots on the monitor with any type of material.
● Install or enable power management functions of the operating system or other software, including
sleep states.
