Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the IdeaCentre 3 is straightforward. Because all core components are inside the display housing, you only need to connect the power cable and plug in the wireless receiver for the mouse and keyboard.
Compatibility: The system includes two USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, along with an HDMI port, allowing you to easily connect a printer, an external monitor, or other USB accessories.
Care:
- To clean the screen, use a soft, dry microfibre cloth; avoid using water or household cleaners directly on the panel.
- Keep the vents clear of dust to maintain proper airflow, as the system is passively cooled to an extent.
- Ensure the machine is placed in an environment between 5 °C and 35 °C to prevent thermal stress.
