Before Setting Up Your Computer

CAUTION:

Keep the computer on the stand and in the vertical position. Setting up the

computer horizontally (on its side) restricts airflow and can impact performance.

When positioning your computer, ensure that you allow easy access to a power source, adequate
ventilation, and a level surface on which to place your computer.

Restricting airflow around the computer may cause it to overheat. To prevent overheating ensure that
you leave at least 10.2 cm (4 inches) at the back of the computer and a minimum of 5.1 cm (2 inches)
on all other sides. You should never put your computer in an enclosed space, such as a cabinet or
drawer when it is powered on.
