Use the CD-ROM drive only as described in this
manual. Failure to do so may result in exposure to
hazardous radiation.
Ergonomic
When positioning the system unit, take into account
any local or national regulations relating to ergonomic
requirements.
Anti-static precautions
WARNING
Static electricity can cause permanent damage to
electronic components. You should be aware of this risk,
and take precautions against the discharge of static
electricity into the computer.
The computer is at risk from static discharge while the
bottom panels are off. This is because the electronic
components are exposed. Memory modules,
expansion cards and replacement processors are
examples of electrostatic sensitive devices (ESSDs).
All work that involves removing the panels must be
done in an area completely free of static electricity.
We recommend using a Special Handling Area (SHA)
as defined by EN 100015-1: 1992. This means that
working surfaces, floor coverings and chairs must be
connected to a common earth reference point, and
you should wear an earthed wrist strap and anti-static
clothing. It is also a good idea to use an ionizer or
humidifier to remove static from the air.
When installing any upgrade, be sure you understand
what the installation procedure involves before you
start. This will enable you to plan your work, and so
minimise the amount of time that sensitive
components are exposed.
Do not remove the system panels, nor the anti-static
bag or wrapping of any upgrade, until you need to.
Handle static-sensitive items with extreme care.
Keep all conductive material, and food and drink,
away from your work area and the open computer.
