Safety information

Electrical safety

  To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet 

before relocating the system.

 

When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables 
for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible, 
disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.

 

Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that all 
power cables are unplugged.

 

Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These devices 
could interrupt the grounding circuit.

 

Ensure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. If you are not 
sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact your local power 
company.

  If the power supply is broken, do not try to  x it by yourself. Contact a quali ed service 

technician or your retailer.

Operation safety

 

Before installing the motherboard and adding components, carefully read all the manuals 
that came with the package.

cables are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact your dealer immediately.

 

To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connectors, 
slots, sockets and circuitry.

 

Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any area 
where it may be exposed to moisture.

 

Place the product on a stable surface.

  If you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a quali ed service
