5Site Preparation and Installation
Setting up the proper working environment for computer
equipment can greatly increase its reliability and utility. This next
section provides guidelines for site preparation before installation
of the computer.
Placement Recommendations
To ensure that the computer runs at its maximum efficiency, it is
important that it is positioned correctly. A computer is an
environment-sensitive piece of equipment, so it is crucial to its
performance to install it in the best place possible.
The following are a few guidelines that should be followed when
deciding where to place the computer chassis.
❏ The system is in a stable area, free of excess movement and
jarring.
❏ The system is located where it can be easily serviced.
❏ The system is installed safely; cables and cords are out of the
way.
❏ The set-up is comfortable for users.
❏ There is room for proper air flow for cooling.
❏ The area is free of excess heat, dust, smoke, and Electro-Static
Discharge (ESD).
