Handling boards
When handling a printed circuit board, do not bend it. Hold it by opposing edges, rather than by the corners.
Handling the hard disk drive
To ensure that you do not damage the hard disk drive, do the following:
• Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions.
• Keep magnets and magnetic-sensitive objects away from the hard disk drive.
• Do not loosen or remove the screws on the top of the hard disk drive. Doing so voids the warranty.
• Handle the hard disk drive by its sides and avoid touching the printed circuit board.
• Do not drop, jar, or bump the hard disk drive.
• Before you remove or install a hard disk drive, allow it to reach room temperature.
Avoid magnets
Keep magnets and magnetic-sensitive objects away from electronic components, especially the hard disk drive.
Electrostatic discharge
When you work with electronic components, electrostatic discharge is a concern since it can destroy circuits, or damage them,
reducing their life span. The area around the printer is most likely not static-free, and electrostatic discharge could occur.
Do the following to avoid damage due to electrostatic discharge:
• Work on a grounded antistatic mat.
• Wear an antistatic wristband, attached to the same location as the antistatic mat.
• Before you remove an electronic component from the shipping box, touch a metal area of the printer to discharge static from
your body.
• After you remove an electronic component from the shipping box, place it face up on a grounded antistatic surface.
• Leave electronic components in antistatic bags until you are ready to use them.
• Do not walk on carpet or vinyl while carrying an electronic component, unless it is in an antistatic bag.
• If you remove an electronic component from the printer, immediately place it in an antistatic bag.
Power cable
Observe the following guidelines:
• Only use the power cable that shipped with the imagePASS or an appropriate replacement power cable. For replacement
parts, see your authorized service support center.
• Before you open the imagePASS, unplug the imagePASS.
• Keep the power cable away from foot traffic.
• Do not place objects on the power cable.
• Do not plug the imagePASS into a 2-hole, ungrounded power outlet by means of a 3-prong adapter.
• Do not plug the imagePASS into a circuit connected to heating or refrigeration equipment (including a water dispenser).
• Do not plug the imagePASS into a switchable power outlet.
• Do not pull the cable to unplug the imagePASS. Instead, pull the plug.
• Do not tamper with or disable the power cable grounding plug.
• Do not use an extension cord.
Do not have liquids near the imagePASS
If liquid spills on the imagePASS, immediately unplug the imagePASS.
Do not open the power supply
For more information about the power supply, see “Power supply” on page 30 .
Do not open the hard disk drive
For more information about the hard disk drive, see “Hard disk drive (HDD)” on page 31 .
Use caution with sharp edges
The edges of some imagePASS components are sharp.
