Follow these guidelines to ensure the best performance and useful life of your computer.

Operating guidelines and routine care

HP has developed guidelines to help you properly set up and care for the computer and monitor.

Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme heat and cold.

Operate the computer on a sturdy, level surface. Leave a 10.2 cm (4 inch) clearance on all vented sides of

the computer and above the monitor to permit the required airflow.

Never restrict the airflow into the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes. Do not place the

keyboard, with the keyboard feet down, directly against the front of the desktop unit because this also

restricts airflow.

Never operate the computer with the access panel or any of the expansion card slot covers removed.

Do not stack computers on top of each other or place computers so near each other that they are subject

to each other’s recirculated or preheated air.

To operate a computer within a separate enclosure, intake and exhaust ventilation must be provided on

the enclosure, and the previous operating guidelines still apply.

Keep liquids away from the computer and keyboard.

Never cover the ventilation slots on the monitor with any type of material.

Install or enable power management functions of the operating system or other software, including sleep

states.

Turn off the computer before you do either of the following tasks:

Wipe the exterior of the computer with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Cleaning products might

discolor or damage the finish. See

Removing dirt and debris from your computer on page 35

for the

recommended steps to clean the high-touch, external surfaces on your computer. After you remove

the dirt and debris, you can also clean the surfaces with a disinfectant. See

Cleaning your computer

with a disinfectant on page 35

for guidelines to help prevent the spread of harmful bacteria and

viruses.

Occasionally clean the air vents on all vented sides of the computer. Lint, dust, and other foreign

matter can block the vents and limit the airflow.
