Setup and Quick Reference Guide 9
To avoid shorting out your computer when disconnecting a network cable, first unplug
the cable from the network adapter on the back of your computer, and then from the
network jack. When reconnecting a network cable to your computer, first plug the cable
into the network jack, and then into the network adapter.
To help protect your computer from sudden, transient increases and decreases in
electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply
(UPS).
Ensure that nothing rests on your computer’s cables and that the cables are not located
where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
Do not push any objects into the openings of your computer. Doing so can cause fire or
electric shock by shorting out interior components.
Keep your computer away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling
vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your computer; do not place your computer
in a closed-in wall unit or on a bed, sofa, or rug.
