Electrical and General Safety Guidelines
WARNING
There is danger of an explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace it only with the same
or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING
Disconnect the power supply at the circuit breaker before accessing any components. Turning off
the system power supply switch does not reduce the risk of electrical shock from the power supply
terminal block.
CAUTION
n
To prevent the unit from overheating, never install the appliance in an enclosed area that is not
properly ventilated or cooled. For proper airflow, keep the front and back sides of the appliance clear
of obstructions and away from the exhaust of other equipment.
n
Be aware of the locations of the power switches on the chassis and in the room, so you can disconnect
the power supply if an accident occurs.
n
Take extra precautionary measures when working with high voltage components. Do not work alone.
n
Before removing or installing main system components, be sure to disconnect the power first.
Turn off the system before you disconnect the power supply.
n
Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment to avoid possible
electrical shock.
n
Use rubber mats specifically designed as electrical insulators when working with computer systems.
n
The power supply or power cord must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into
grounded outlets.
CAUTION
Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to your system
board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures can prevent ESD damage to
critical components.
n
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
n
Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until ready for use.
n
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
n
Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a charge
even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
n
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules
or contacts.
n
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
n
Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
n
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between
the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.
