Static Electricity Precautions

It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your PC, system board, components or devices even

before installing them in your system unit. Static electrical discharge can damage computer

components without causing any signs of physical damage. You must take extra care in han-

dling them to ensure against electrostatic build-up.

1. To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the system board in its anti-static bag until you are

ready to install it.

2. Wear an antistatic wrist strap.

3. Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.

4. Hold the device only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of the components, contacts

or connections.

5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold modules or con

nectors by their ends.

Safety Measures

To avoid damage to the system:

• Use the correct AC input voltage range.

To reduce the risk of electric shock:

• Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis cover for installation or servic-

ing. After installation or servicing, cover the system chassis before plugging the power cord.

Battery:

• Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.

• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommend by the manufacturer.

• Dispose of used batteries according to local ordinance.

Important:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drive and other com-

ponents. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD worksta-

tion only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by

wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system chas-

sis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the system

chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.

• The openings on the system are for air ventilation to protect the system from overheating.

DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.

• Place the power cord in such a way that it will not be stepped on. Do not place anything on

top of the power cord. Use a power cord that has been approved for use with the system

and that it matches the voltage and current marked on the system’s electrical range label.

• If the system will not be used for a long time, disconnect it from the power source to avoid

damage by transient overvoltage.

• If one of the following occurs, consult a service personnel:

- The power cord or plug is damaged.

- Liquid has penetrated the system.

- The system has been exposed to moisture.

- The system is not working properly.

- The system dropped or is damaged.

- The system has obvious signs of breakage.

• The unit uses a three-wire ground cable which is equipped with a third pin to ground the

unit and prevent electric shock. Do not defeat the purpose of this pin. If your outlet does

not support this kind of plug, contact your electrician to replace the outlet.

• Disconnect the system from the DC outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth. Do not use

liquid or spray detergents for cleaning.
