Choosing a location
Before you set up your computer, it is important to choose the
right location. Select a spot that provides the following:
A large, sturdy desk or table that can easily support the
weight of your system, including all of its components.
Make sure the surface is hard and flat. Soft surfaces like
beds and carpeted floors can generate static electricity,
which may erase data on your disks and damage the
computer’s circuitry. Soft surfaces also prevent proper
ventilation.
Good air circulation. Air must be able to move freely
under the system as well as behind it. Leave several inches
of space around the computer to allow ventilation.
