•  To prevent electric shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electric 

outlet before relocating the system.

•  When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power 

cables for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If 

possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add 

a device.

•  Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure 

that all power cables are unplugged.

•  Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. 

These devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.

•  Ensure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. If you 

are not sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact 

your local power company.

•  If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified 

service technician or your retailer.
