Care & upkeep

Keep useful things in use.

Cleaning, storage, troubleshooting and moving equipment with its instructions in mind.

Check an office chair when it starts to wobble

Stop using an unstable chair and separate simple external checks from parts that need professional service or replacement.

Identify the finish before choosing a cleaner; a similar color does not mean two desktops need the same treatment.

Keep exterior openings clear using the approved method, and leave internal cleaning to the procedure intended for the device.

Find the transport instructions for the exact model before deciding what to remove, lock or leave installed.

Protect the panel from pressure and keep the right cables with the right devices, even when the destination is nearby.

Verify the files you need to keep, then use a suitable erase process before the computer leaves your control.

Separate working equipment, data-bearing devices and battery concerns before choosing a destination.

A small equipment record saves searching when the model number is hidden behind a cable-filled desk.
