Setting Up Your System This chapter describes how to set up and turn on/off your system. Just follow the steps in this chapter. 1. Selecting a Location Before you set up your computer, it is important to choose a safe and convenient location that provides the following: A large, sturdy desk or table strong enough to support the weight of your system and all of its components. A flat and 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 environment 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, grounded outlets. You need one outlet for the computer, one for the monitor, and an additional outlet for a printer and any other peripheral devices. Chapter 1 No electromagnetic interference. Do not place your system too close to any electrical device, such as a telephone, which generates an electromagnetic field. Setting Up Your System 2-1
