Operating guidelines and routine care HP has developed guidelines to help you properly set up and care for the computer and monitor. ● Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme heat and cold. ● Operate the computer on a sturdy, level surface. Leave a 10.2 cm (4 inch) clearance on all vented sides of the computer and above the monitor to permit the required airflow. ● Never restrict the airflow into the computer 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 because this also restricts airflow. ● Never operate the computer with the access panel or any of the expansion card slot covers 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 recirculated or preheated air. ● To operate a computer within a separate enclosure, intake and exhaust ventilation must be provided on the enclosure, and the previous operating guidelines still apply. ● Keep liquids away from the computer 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. ● Turn off the computer before you do either of the following tasks: - Wipe the exterior of the computer with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Cleaning products might discolor or damage the finish. See Removing dirt and debris from your computer on page 18 for the recommended steps to clean the high-touch, external surfaces on your computer. After you remove the dirt and debris, you can also clean the surfaces with a disinfectant. See Cleaning your computer with a disinfectant on page 18 for guidelines to help prevent the spread of harmful bacteria and viruses. - Occasionally clean the air vents on all vented sides of the computer.

Operating guidelines and routine care
HP has developed guidelines to help you properly set up and care for the computer and monitor.
●
Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme heat and cold.
●
Operate the computer on a sturdy, level surface. Leave a 10.2 cm (4 inch) clearance on all vented sides of
the computer and above the monitor to permit the required airflow.
●
Never restrict the airflow into the computer 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 because this also
restricts airflow.
●
Never operate the computer with the access panel or any of the expansion card slot covers 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 recirculated or preheated air.
●
To operate a computer within a separate enclosure, intake and exhaust ventilation must be provided on
the enclosure, and the previous operating guidelines still apply.
●
Keep liquids away from the computer 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.
●
Turn off the computer before you do either of the following tasks:
–
Wipe the exterior of the computer with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Cleaning products might
discolor or damage the finish. See
