About Your Computer

Setting Up Your Computer

Before Setting Up Your Computer

When positioning your computer, ensure that you allow easy access to a power source, adequate ventilation, and a level surface on which to place your computer.

NOTICE: Keep the computer on the stand and in the vertical position. Setting up the computer horizontally (on its side) restricts airflow and can impact performance.

Restricting airflow around the computer may cause it to overheat. To prevent overheating ensure that you leave at least 10.2 cm (4 in) at the back of the computer and a minimum of 5.1 cm (2 in) on all other sides. You should never put your computer in an enclosed space, such as a cabinet or drawer when it is powered on.

Quick Setup

CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions that shipped with your computer.

NOTE: Some devices may not be included if you did not order them.
