Selecting a location for your computer
Make sure you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets
for the computer and any other attached devices. Select a location for the
computer where it will remain dry. Leave about 50 mm (2 in.) of space around the
computer for proper air circulation.
Selecting the position of your computer
You can use your computer in a vertical or horizontal position. For proper
computer operation in the vertical position, the pedestal must be installed. To use
the computer in a horizontal position, you can attach rubber feet to the base of the
computer.
Read the safety information before setting up your computer. See “Safety
