When Using Your Computer System
As you use your computer system, observe the following safety guidelines:
CAUTION: Do not operate your computer system with any cover(s) (such as computer
covers, bezels, filler brackets, and front-panel inserts) removed.
•
To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure the voltage selection switch on the power
supply is set to match the alternating current (AC) power available at your location:
–
115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far
Eastern countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan
–
230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East. Also be sure your
monitor and attached peripherals are electrically rated to operate with the AC power
available in your location.
•
To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait five seconds after turning off
the system before removing a component from the system board or disconnecting a
peripheral device from the computer.
•
To help prevent electric shock, plug the computer and peripheral power cables into
properly grounded power sources. These cables are equipped with 3-prong plugs to
ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from
a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded
plugs.
•
To help protect your computer system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in
electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply.
•
Be sure nothing rests on your computer system’s cables and that the cables are not located
where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
•
Do not spill food or liquids on your computer. If the computer gets wet, consult the
documentation that came with it.
•
Do not push any objects into the openings of your computer. Doing so can cause fire or
electric shock by shorting out interior components.
•
Keep your computer away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling
vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your computer; do not place your computer
in a closed-in wall unit or on a rug.
