Safety Precautions - AXIOMTEK IPC950 User Manual

Safety Precautions

Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions.
1. The IPC950 does not come equipped with an operating system. An operating
system must be loaded first before installing any software into the computer.
2. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing the internal
components. Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components
in any static-shielded devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to
static electrical charge.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the IPC950 before making any installation.
Be sure both the system and the external devices are turned OFF. Sudden
surge of power could ruin sensitive components. Make sure the IPC950 is
properly grounded.
4. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the
equipment to the power outlet.
5. Turn OFF the system power before cleaning. Clean the system using a cloth
only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner directly onto the screen.
6. Do not leave this equipment in an uncontrolled environment where the storage
temperature is below -20℃ or above 80℃. It may damage the equipment.
7. Do not open the system's back cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is
a must, only a trained technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on
computer boards are sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips
from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
◼ Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted
portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to
discharge any static electricity on your body.
◼ When handling boards and components, wear a grounding wrist strap,
available from most electronic component stores .
