THINGS YOU MUST REMEMBER BEFORE WORKING ON YOUR

COMPUTER

LET YOUR COMPUTER ACCLIMATE ITSELF

Your computer 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 computer 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.

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.

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.
