Setting Up Your
VAIO MicroTower
Your VAIO MicroTower comes with the software titles preinstalled on
your hard disk drive. Just follow these simple steps to connect the cables
and turn on the computer, and your VAIO MicroTower is ready to use.
Choosing a Location for Your Computer
Before you get started, find the best location for your new computer. Here
are some things to consider when planning your workspace:
Stable work surface—Use a stable work surface large enough to
support the computer, the display, and other equipment.
Ventilation—Leave at least eight inches of space on the left and back
sides of your computer to enable proper ventilation.
Placement of the keyboard, mouse, and other input devices—Place
your keyboard, mouse, and other input devices so that your arms and
hands are in a relaxed, comfortable position. The keyboard should be
directly in front of you. Adjust the level of the keyboard so that your
lower arms are parallel to the floor. Keep your wrists in a relaxed
position when you’re using the keyboard—not angled up or down.
Use the palmrest only briefly, for resting. While typing, never use the
palmrest or rest your hands on the table. Position the mouse at the
same level as the keyboard. Hold the mouse with a relaxed hand, and
use your whole arm to move it. Take breaks during sessions with
your computer. Excessive use of the mouse or a joystick may strain
muscles or tendons.
