Maintaining Your IT System
2. The Office Environment
The environment can have a dramatic effect on the performance and reliability of IT systems.
2.1 Do not place equipment near radiators, water or sources of dust.
2.2 All cables should be as short as possible.
- Use cable ties for a tidy and safe office.
- Loose connectors are a common cause of problems. Ensure screws are firm, but not overtight.
- The clips on network plugs are easily damaged. Be wary of snapping them.
