Chapter 5: Maintaining Your Computer
Caring for your computer
To extend the life of your computer:
■ When transporting your computer, we recommend that you put it in the original
packaging materials.
■ Keep diskettes and your computer away from magnetic fields. Magnetic fields can
erase data on both diskettes and hard drives.
■ Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperature changes.
■ Keep all liquids away from your computer. When spilled onto computer
components, almost any liquid can result in extremely expensive repairs that are
not covered under your warranty.
■ Avoid dusty or dirty work environments. Dust and dirt can clog the internal
mechanisms.
■ Do not block the ventilation fan.
■ When storing your computer for an extended period of time, unplug AC power.
