Chapter 4: Computer care tips

4.1 Proper care of your PC

Yourpersonalcomputerislikeotherhomeappliances.Keepyourcomputeraway

fromhumidity,directsunandstaticelectricitysource.Youshouldnotmovethe

computer when the it is turned on in case of damage. Internal dust will affect

the disk drive operating and contribute to overheating problem which will cause

computer crash or damage the components.

4.2 Basic knowledge

1. Encaseyourcomputerwithdustcoverwhennotinuse.

2. Whenusingyourcomputer,donotputanythingontheCRTmonitortoblock

the ventilation holes. Excessive heat will cause the monitor malfunction.

3. Donotplacethecomputerclosetothewallandleavesomespaceforheat

dissipation.Overheatingwillcausethesystemcrash.

4. Place the computer on a stable surface.

5. Keepthecomputerawayfromareasofextremetemperature.5°Cto30°Cis

the best surroundings temperature. Use an air conditioner or a electric fan to

gain a better heat dissipation.

6. Arrangetheribboncablesneatlytoavoidinsufcientairow.

4.3 Usage knowledge

1. Turnonandshutdownyourcomputerregularly.Ifyourcomputerneedsto

beonforalongtime,useabettersystem/CPUfanandhighvoltagepower

supplyunit.

2. Asuddenpowerfailurewilldamagetheharddiskdrive.Whenthepower

supplyisunstable,addanuninterruptiblepowersupplytoyourcomputeris

recommended.

3. Rearrangethedatales,dothevirusscanningandviruscodesrenewaland

defrgmentdiskregularly.

4. De-dustandcleanyourcomputerregularly.(Unpluggedallthepowercords

before cleaning)

• Uninstall the motherboad and hard/optical disk drives, then clean them

with canned air or a soft brush.

• Removethedustandhairdebrisonthepowersupplyunitwithananti-

static vacuum.

4.4 Tips

1. Ifyourcomputerwillnotbeusedforalongtime,putsomedesiccantmoisture

absorbersinthechassistopreventhumiditydamage.

2. Insomehotandhumidclimaticareas,you’dbetterturnonyourcomputer

everyotherweek.Thisalsohelpspreventhumiditydamage.
