Preface v
Safety instructions
Observe the following safety instructions when using your system:
•
Follow all instructions marked on the system and in the
documentation.
•
When the computer is turned off, a small amount of electrical
current still runs through the computer. Always unplug the
computer from the electrical outlet before cleaning the system or
opening the computer cover. (Follow the cleaning instructions in
your user’s guide.)
•
Do not use this product near water or a heat source, such as a
radiator or heat register.
•
Do not spill anything on or into the system. The best way to avoid
spills is to avoid eating and drinking near your system.
•
Make sure you set up the system on a stable work surface.
•
Openings in the computer cabinet are provided for ventilation. Do
not block or cover these openings. Make sure you provide adequate
space (at least 12 inches) around the system for ventilation when
you set up your work area. Never insert objects of any kind into the
computer ventilation slots.
•
Use the voltage setting for your area. The voltage selector switch is
set at the factory to the correct voltage.
•
As a safety feature, this system is equipped with a 3-wire power
cord to ensure that the product is properly grounded when in use.
The plug will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. If you are
unable to insert the plug into an outlet, contact an electrician to
install the appropriate outlet.
•
Do not walk on the power cord or allow anything to rest on it.
•
If you use an extension cord with this system, make sure the total
ampere ratings on the products plugged into the extension cord do
not exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Also, the total ampere
requirements for all products plugged into the wall outlet must not
exceed 15 amperes.
Warning!
Do not attempt to service
the system yourself except
as explained elsewhere in
the system documentation.
Adjust only those controls
covered in the instructions.
Opening or removing
covers marked “Do Not
Remove” may expose you
to dangerous electrical
voltages or other risks.
Refer all servicing of those
compartments to qualified
service personnel.
