Safety Precautions
Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions.
1. The IPC960-525/IPC962-525/IPC964-525 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 IPC960-525/IPC962-525/IPC964-525
Series before making any installation. Be sure both the system and the
external devices are turned OFF. Sudden surge of power could ruin
sensitive components. Make sure the IPC960-525/IPC962-525/IPC964-525
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 .
