Safety Instructions 

 

Before You Begin 

Before handling the product, read the instructions and safety guidelines on the 
following pages to prevent damage to the product and to ensure your own personal 
safety. Refer to the “Advisories” section in the Preface for advisory conventions used 
in this user’s guide, including the distinction between Warnings, Cautions, Important 
Notes, and Notes. 
 

  Always use caution when handling/operating a computer. Only qualified, 

experienced, authorized electronics service personnel should access the 
interior of a computer. The power supplies produce high voltages and 
energy hazards, which can cause bodily harm. 

  Use extreme caution when installing or removing components. Refer to the 

installation instructions in this user’s guide for precautions and procedures. 
If you have any questions, please contact our Post-Sales Technical 
Support. 

  Access can only be gained by service persons or by users who have 

been instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the 
location and about any precautions that shall be taken; and access is 
through the use of a tool or lock and key, or other means of security, 
and is controlled by authority responsible for the location. 

 

WARNING 

High voltages are present inside the chassi s when the unit’s power cord is plugged into 

an electrical outlet. Turn off system power, turn off the power supply, and then 

disconnect the power cord from its source before removing the chassis cover. Turning off 

the system power switch does not remove power to components.
