TOPIC

    I have detected the smell of plastic after my new computer equipment has warmed up. Should I be concerned?

DISCUSSION

    In some cases, an unusual odor may be detected when a product has been turned on and allowed to warm up to operating temperature. Typically, the odor is detected when the product is new, similar to odors generated from new carpeting or a new car. In most cases the odor will dissipate over a short period of time.

    If the odor persists, we recommend that you place the unit in a well-ventilated room and allow the unit to operate over an extended period of time (possibly 24-72 hours) or until the odor dissipates. If the odor persists, contact your local Service Provider for an evaluation.
