Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my computer system gets wet?
Do not proceed; call your network administrator immediately.
How can I prevent electric shock when setting up my unit?
Plug power cables into properly grounded three-prong outlets and use surge suppressors or UPS devices.
What is the recommended ergonomic setup for the monitor screen?
The screen should be at eye level (or slightly lower) and positioned directly in front of you to avoid glare.
What must I watch out for when moving cables away from the computer?
When disconnecting a cable, always pull on its connector or strain-relief loop, never on the cord itself.
