Basic Computer Cleaning and Maintenance I - caring for the

outside

Name: _______________________

Directions Keeping your computer clean on its outside can help prolong its insides by limiting the amount

of dirt and dust that get into it. For this assignment you will get practice in basic computer

cleaning, as well as be introduced to some vocabulary words. Use the rag you brought in (or

borrow one from me if you forgot) and the cleaner solution I provide to clean each component of

your computer. Fill in the vocabulary definitions to the best of your ability as you go!

Remember - never spray the computer components directly - dampen your rag instead - and

never clean equipment while the power is on!

DO NOT unplug any of the cords from the computers and DO NOT slide the computers out from

their trays!
