Safety Precautions - AXIOMTEK IPC920 Series User Manual

Safety Precautions

Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions.
1. The IPC920 Series 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 IPC920 Series before making any installation. Be sure both
the system and the external devices are turned OFF. A sudden surge of power could ruin sensitive
components. Make sure the IPC920 Series 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.
