• Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other components in a
rack.
CAUTION: A qualified electrician must perform all connections to DC power and
to safety grounds. All electrical wiring must comply with applicable local or
national codes and practices.
CAUTION: Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate
electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that
suitable grounding is available.
CAUTION: The system chassis must be positively grounded to the rack cabinet
frame. Do not attempt to connect power to the system until grounding cables
are connected. Completed power and safety ground wiring must be inspected by

When Working Inside Your System

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

NOTICE: Only a certified service technician should perform repairs on your system. Damage
due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty.
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static
damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic
components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically touching an
unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
