Before you set up your computer, it’s important to choose a

safe, convenient location that provides the following:

A sturdy desk or table strong enough to support the

weight of your system and all of its components.

A flat, hard surface. Soft surfaces like beds and carpeted

floors 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 any other source of heat.

Appropriate power sources. To prevent static charges,
connect all your equipment to three-hole, 120-volt

grounded outlets. You need one outlet for the computer,

one for the monitor, and additional outlets for a printer
and any other peripheral devices.

No electromagnetic interference. Do not place your

system too dose to any electrical device, such as a

telephone, which generates an electromagnetic field.
