Setting Up the System 2-7
Be sure to connect all peripherals, such as your monitor
and printer, to the surge suppressor. The surge protector
should be the only device that you plug into the wall
outlet.
Avoid repeated power-on cycles. These subject the system
components to temperature variations and stress.
Disconnect your system from telephone and power lines
when an electrical storm threatens. If you have a
fax/modem, lightning can travel in on the phone line and
damage both the fax/modem and the system unit.
Lightning can also travel in on power lines and damage
your monitor and system unit.
Be sure that system power is off before you connect or
disconnect a cable. Never make cable changes when the
system power is on. Doing so can damage the system and
its peripherals.
Use BIOS Setup utility options to protect against viruses
(see “Security Menu” in Chapter 3). Use appropriate virus
detection software regularly to protect your system from
computer viruses.
If you plan to use software programs other than NEC CSD
supplied software, NEC CSD strongly recommends that
you take the necessary steps, such as virus checks, to
protect your system.
Position your computer away from direct sunlight and
extreme hot and cold temperatures.
The recommended operating environment is from 50°F to
95°F (10°C to 35°C).
The recommended non-operating environment (shipping
or storage) is from 14°F to 158°F (-10°C to 70°C).
