T HINGS YOU MUST REMEMBER BEFORE WORKING ON YOUR
COMPUTER
L ET YOUR COMPUTER ACCLIMATE ITSELF
Your computer can easily stand temperature extremes but it
doesn’t like rapid changes in temperature, like going from the cold
outdoors to a warm office. Rapid changes in temperature can
cause water droplets to condense inside your case, threatening to
damage the electronic parts inside.
After receiving your computer when it’s hot or cold outside, try not
to power up the computer immediately, let the computer adjust to
the room temperature gradually at least for three to four hours.
If your system arrives in cold weather, do
not apply power to the computer or monitor until they have been
allowed to come to room temperature.
H EAT , C OLD , H UMIDITY , AND G LARE
Find a suitable place for your computer that’s not too hot, too cold,
too dark, or too bright. Glare can make it hard to read the screen.
` Try to avoid the computer components from being destroyed if
it is over heated, so try to allow plenty of room for air to
circulate around the case.
` Do not block the ventilation opening.
` Do not place your computer in direct sunlight.
S UITABLE PLACE TO WORK
Your computer will run well wherever you’re comfortable but
extremes of temperature and humidity can be challenging to your
system’s parts. There are some things you can tolerate that the
computer can’t – things like static electricity, dust, water, steam
and oil. In case you decide to pull over for roadside computing, try
to choose a clean, comfortable work area for your system.
A lithium-ion battery pack will be available when you are traveling.
If you are running your system for the first time on battery power,
remove the battery from the package, install it into the system and
recharge the battery to fully prepare for service.
