Choosing a Location

When selecting a place to set up your system, choose a safe,

convenient location that provides the following:

A flat, hard surface. Surfaces like beds and carpets attract

static electricity, which can erase data on your disks,

damage the computer’s circuitry, and prevent proper

ventilation.

Good air circulation. Leave several inches of space around

the computer so air can move freely.

Moderate environmental conditions. Select a cool, dry area

and protect your computer from extremes in temperature,

humidity, dust, and smoke. Avoid direct sunlight or other

heat sources.

No electromagnetic interference. Do not place your system

too close to any electrical device, such as a telephone or

television, which generates an electromagnetic field.

Appropriate power source. Connect all your equipment

with the appropriate power cords for the power source in

your area. If you are operating the computer in a country

other than the one in which you purchased it, see “Power

Source Requirements” in Appendix A for the cord you

should use.

Connecting a Monitor

If you have a VGA monitor (or a multifrequency monitor with

an analog connector), you can connect it to the computer’s

built-in VGA port as described below. If you have any other

type of monitor (or if you want to install a display adapter card

to control your monitor), see Chapter 4.
