Other Bits and Bytes
Keep small items such as paper clips and map tacks away from your computer.
Small objects can find their way into small openings and cause large problems.
Always remember to keep coffee, soda and all other liquids away from your
computer. It’s not waterproof!
Make sure the labels on your disks are firmly in place. Loose labels can get
stuck in the disk drives and cause some major damage!
Finally, back up files daily or in accordance with your local SOP. You
don’t want to lose the hard work you’ve done.
Turn On
Now that you’ve completed one
PMCS, do another to safely turn on
the system. Turn the equipment on
one piece at a time with
P
-
M
-
C
-
S
.
“
P
” stands for printer, “
M
” for moni-
tor, “
C
” for computer (CPU), and “
S
”
for success.
Why PMCS? Remember the system
must read and access files when it first
comes on. If a surge occurs as these
files are being accessed—like a printer
or a monitor starting up—the data in
those files can become unusable.
it's as
easy
as
pmcs!
beat it
you guys!
you get on my
nerves
