Preparing The Workstation - HP Xw4550 - Workstation - 2 GB RAM Installation Manual

Precautions for handling the drive and discs
Observe all precautions when handling the drive and discs, as listed below:
●
Do not use worn, cracked, warped, or poor quality discs in the optical drive.
●
Look for cracks in the clear plastic area in the center of the disc. If cracks are present, do not use
the disc in the optical drive.
●
Do not affix any adhesive labels to the disc surface. Affixing an adhesive label on the disc can
cause damage to the disc and/or optical drive.
●
Do not drop the disc or subject it to physical shock.
●
Do not put the disc in a location subject to dust, direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or high
humidity.
●
Do not move the drive during operation. Doing so may cause it to malfunction during reading.
●
Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature, as condensation may form inside the
unit. If the temperature suddenly changes while the drive is on, wait at least one hour before you
remove the power. If you operate the unit immediately, it may malfunction while reading.
●
Avoid placing the drive in a location that is subject to high humidity, extreme temperatures,
mechanical vibration, or direct sunlight.
● Keep the original packing materials for future transportation of the drive.
●
Remove the disc before moving the drive.
●
Clean the unit panel and controls with a soft, dry cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Never spray cleaning fluids directly on the unit.
●
Do not clean the drive with solvents such as alcohol or benzene, which can damage the finish.
●
If any object or liquid falls into the cabinet, immediately unplug the workstation and have it checked
by an authorized service provider.
●
When a disc is not in use, remove it from the drive and store it in its case.
●
Handle the disc by the edges, not the flat surface of the disc.
●
Do not clean the disc with solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or antistatic spray, which can damage
the finish.
●
Use only discs that are circular in shape. Do not use discs shaped in other forms, such as heart-
shaped or business card-shaped discs.
