Chapter 9: Maintaining Your Computer

To extend the life of your system:

■

Be careful not to bump or drop your computer, and do not put any objects 
on top of it. The case, although strong, is not made to support extra weight.

■

When transporting your computer, we recommend that you put it in the 
original packaging materials.

■

Keep your computer away from magnetic fields. Magnetic fields can erase 
data on hard drives.

■

Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperature changes. The case 
can become brittle and easy to break in cold temperatures and can melt 
or warp in high temperatures. Damage due to either extreme is not covered 
by your warranty. As a general rule, your computer is safest at temperatures 
that are comfortable for you.

■

Keep all liquids away from your computer. When spilled onto computer 
components, almost any liquid can result in extremely expensive repairs 
that are not covered under your warranty.

■

Avoid dusty or dirty work environments. Dust and dirt can clog the 
internal mechanisms.
