Important Safety Precautions Before getting started, read these instructions and save them for later reference. Please disconnect this equipment from any AC outlet before cleaning. Clean with a damp or dry cloth only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner directly on the screen. The power outlet socket used to plug in the computer power cord must be located near the system and easily accessible. Do not use outlets on the same circuit of the systems that are regularly switched on and off. Do not expose the power cord, extension cord and power outlet to moisture or traffic intensive walkways. Install the equipment on a sturdy and reliable surface to prevent damage caused by dropping. The openings on the enclosure are for air convection. Protect the equipment from overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS. If the Equipment is sharing an extension cord with other devices, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. If an operating system is not installed, an operating system must be loaded first before installing any software into the equipment. Disconnect the power cord from the computer before any installation of internal components. Make sure both the computer and the external devices are turned off. A sudden surge of power may damage sensitive components. Also make sure the computer is properly grounded. 10. During installation of any internal components, be sure to ground yourself to discharge any static electricity. Most electronic components are highly sensitive to static electric charge. Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in any static‐shielded devices. If a wrist‐grounding strap is not available, ground yourself by briefly touching an unpainted piece of metal. ...
