Safety instructions
WARNING:
Whenever you need to lift the system, get others to assist you. To avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the system by
yourself.
WARNING:
Opening or removing the system cover while the system is powered on may expose you to a risk of electric shock.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the system without the cover for a duration exceeding five minutes.
CAUTION:
Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple
repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team.
Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions
that are shipped with your product.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you always use an antistatic mat and antistatic strap while working on components inside the
system.
