Cautions regarding handling peripherals

Please be careful of the following when adding peripherals.
We recommend using peripherals that are produced by our company.
●
If you connect peripherals not made by our company when peripherals made by our company are
available and they do not work properly or damage your PC then it will not be covered by the warranty.
If our company does not make the peripherals then please confirm with the maker of that peripheral that it
will work with this PC.
Please confirm that the drivers that come with the peripheral and will be used are compatible
●
with Windows.
You will not be able to use that peripheral if the drivers used by that peripheral are not supported by
Windows. Please be sure to prepare items that are supported by Windows.
If the drivers, etc. are supplied on a floppy disk
●
Depending on the peripheral, the drivers may be provided on a floppy disk. In that case, you can
purchase the optional FDD unit (USB) and install the drivers.
Please use peripherals that support ACPI
●
This PC performs power management using ACPI (1 of the control standards for saving energy) so it is
necessary that any peripherals also support ACPI.
If you use a peripheral that does not support ACPI then additional devices or the PC may stop operating
correctly. Please contact the peripheral maker to confirm if it supports ACPI.
Also, the ACPI mode of this PC is set as sleep (ACPI S3).
Please only connect one peripheral at a time.
●
If you install more than 1 peripheral at the same time then the installation of the drivers may not proceed
properly. Please confirm proper operation after one peripheral has been attached and then attach the
other peripheral.
Turn off the power to the connected devices and the PC.
●
Please always unplug the power cord from the outlet for safety. There may be an electrical charge flowing
in the computer even when the power has been disconnected. Refer to "Turning the power off" for details
on how to turn the power off.
Please do not perform the operation immediately after turning off the power.
●
The equipment inside the PC may be hot immediately after the power is turned off. Please start the
operation after waiting 10 minutes from the time the power is turned off and the power cord is unplugged
from the outlet.
Please do not disassemble the power supply.
●
The power supply is the box shaped part on the bottom inside the PC.
Please be careful handling the equipment and various cables inside the PC.
●
Please don't damage or work it. Also, please don't twist it or bend it extremely.
Please do the job on a soft cloth.
●
If you work directly on a hard surface, the PC body may get scratched.
Please be careful of static electricity.
●
The internal peripherals may have the circuit board or devices exposed. These parts may be damaged by
static electricity occurring from a human body. Before handling, please discharge any static electricity by
touching your hand once to a large metallic object.
Please don't touch your hand to the surface of the circuit board or the solder portion and
●
connected components.
Please hold it using the edge of the board or using a metal part.
Regarding the peripheral's power
●
In general, the peripherals will receive power before the PC receives power, however there are some that
will receive power after the PC. Refer to the peripheral manual.
