Getting Started Other precautions 47 off overnight to give it time to dry out before you use it again. ❖ If a drive-in-use light indicates the drive is being accessed, does not turn off the computer. Powering off the computer while it is reading from or writing to a disk may damage the disk, the drive or both. ❖ Keep the computer and diskettes away from objects that generate strong magnetic fields, such as large stereo speakers. Information on diskettes is stored magnetically. Getting a magnet too close to a diskette can erase important files. ❖ Scan all new files for viruses. This precaution is especially important for files you receive via diskette or email, or download from the Internet. Important information on your computer's cooling fan Your computer may have a CPU cooling fan that cools the CPU by drawing outside air into the computer. The cooling fan may be located on the bottom of the computer. To prevent possible overheating of the CPU, make sure the air intake on the cooling fan is not blocked. The fan draws in air by creating a vacuum. If the fan is blocked, it could cause the CPU to run at a lower performance level or cause the computer to shut down. Loose items such as notebook and tissue paper, plastic wrappers, or other similar materials can block the air intake, preventing air from reaching the CPU. Do not use the computer on surfaces with objects that can be drawn in by the cooling fan.
