2 Getting Started (features vary by model)
Placing the computer in the proper location
All Blackbird 002 systems ship with a base stabilizer (computer stand), which you must
install when you set up your computer. Once you install the base stabilizer, the system
meets safety standards for product stability in either floor-standing or desktop-mounted
setups. See the instructions for attaching the base stabilizer in the Attaching the Computer
Stand document that came with the computer.
When setting up your new computer, place it where ventilation openings are unobstructed.
Make sure that all connections are secure and that all cabling is out of the way. Do not
place cabling in walkways or where it can be stepped on or damaged from placing
furniture on it.
Using surge protection
Help protect the monitor, computer, and accessories by connecting all power cords for the
computer and peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, or scanner) to a surge
protection device, such as a power strip with surge protection or an uninterruptible power
supply (UPS). Many surge protection devices have surge protection inputs and outputs for
modem or telephone lines. Telephone lines are a common path for lightning spikes to get
into the system. Some surge protection devices have surge protection for television cable
connections as well. Use those if the computer has a television tuner installed.
Not all power strips provide surge protection; the power strip must be specifically labeled
as having this capability. Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a damage
replacement policy that replaces the equipment if surge protection fails.
WARNING: Setting up the computer without the base stabilizer is not
recommended because it is more susceptible to being knocked over, which can
cause serious personal injury and hardware damage. For instructions on how
to install the base stabilizer, see the Attaching the Computer Stand document
that came with the computer.
