Safety Information
Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you work with
the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic
components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics
personnel should open the PC chassis.
Warning!
During heavy loading in 50°C environment, the top side of the EAC Mini may be over
70°C. Please do not touch these parts with your bare hands.
Caution
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the CPU card.
Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety
precaution, use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components in a
static-dissipative surface or static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.
Alternating Current
The Protective Conductor Terminal (Earth Ground) symbol indicates the potential risk of
serious electrical shock due to improper grounding.
