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 fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified service 

technician or your retailer.

Operation safety

•  Before installing the motherboard and adding components, carefully read all the manuals 

that came with the package.

•  Before using the product, ensure all cables are correctly connected and the power cables

•  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 qualified service 

technician or your retailer.
