TOPIC



    Can I operate my Macintosh IIvx in a vertical position?

DISCUSSION


    The Macintosh IIvx (and the similar Performa 600 and Centris 650) were
    designed, built, and tested to perform reliably in the horizontal position.
    When operated in the horizontal position, these computers meet or exceed Apple
    Computer's regulatory compliance specifications. Using these computers in any
    other orientation may damage sensitive internal components and isn't
    recommended.

    Further, when you place one of these computers on a work surface, be sure the L
    on the left side of the system remains unobstructed.

    However, should you require a vertical position for your system, you must
    use an appropriate accessory stand to ensure regulatory compliance and
    continued reliability. An appropriate stand holds the computer safely
    without disrupting the air flow that keeps the computer's components cool.
    (The Apple CD 300i functions properly on its side.)
