Things you must remember before working on your computer
Let your computer acclimate itself
Your notebook can easily stand temperature extremes but it doesn’t like rapid changes in
temperature, like going from the cold outdoors to a warm office. Rapid changes in
temperature can cause water droplets to condense inside your case, threatening to damage the
electronic parts inside.
After receiving your notebook when it’s hot or cold outside, try not to power up the computer
immediately, let the computer adjust to the room temperature gradually at least for three to
four hours.
18
If your system arrives in cold weather, do not apply power to the
computer or monitor until they have been allowed to come to
room temperature.
Heat, Cold, Humidity, and Glare
Find a suitable place for your computer that’s not too hot, too cold, too dark, or too bright.
Glare can make it hard to read the screen.
•
Try to avoid the computer components from being destroyed if it is over heated, so try to
allow plenty of room for air to circulate around the case.
•
Do not block the ventilation opening.
•
Do not place your computer in direct sunlight.
Suitable place to work
Your computer will run well wherever you’re comfortable but extremes of temperature and
humidity can be challenging to your system’s parts.
There are some things you can tolerate that the computer can’t – things like static electricity,
dust, water, steam and oil. In case you decide to pull over for roadside computing, try to
choose a clean, comfortable work area for your system.
A lithium-ion battery pack will be available when you are traveling.
If you are running your system for the first time on battery power, remove the battery from
the package, install it into the system and recharge the battery to fully prepare for service.
