on page iii. Use these
instructions to set up your computer.
Selecting a location for your computer
Make sure you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical
outlets for all devices. Select a location for the computer where it will remain
dry. Leave about 50 mm (2 in.) of space around the computer for proper air
circulation.
Arranging your workspace
Arrange both the equipment and your work area to suit you. Light sources, air
circulation, and the location of electrical outlets can affect how you arrange
your workspace.
Comfort
The following guidelines will help you decide what working position suits you
best.
Choose a chair to reduce fatigue from sitting in the same position for long
periods. The backrest and seat should adjust independently and provide good
support. The seat should have a curved front to relieve pressure on the thighs.
Adjust the seat so that your thighs are parallel to the floor and your feet are
either flat on the floor, or on a footrest.
When using the keyboard, keep your forearms parallel to the floor and your
wrists in a neutral, comfortable position. Try to keep a light touch on the
