Regulatory and Safety Information
WARNING: The Compaq Presario is heavy;
be sure to use ergonomically correct lifting
procedures when moving the computer.
WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can
damage disk drives, add-in cards, and other
components. If an ESD station is not available,
wear a wrist strap attached to a metal part of
the computer. Place cards on a conductive foam
pad or inside the conductive wrapper they came
in; do not place the cards on top of the wrapper.
WARNING: Do not operate the system with the
cover removed. Always replace the cover before
turning on the system.
WARNING: Please read the “Additional Safety
Information” located later in this document
before installing and connecting your system to
the electrical power system.
WARNING: Using the wrong type of memory
module could damage the system.
WARNING: Do not pull the memory module out
of the socket. Use the retaining clips to eject the
module.
WARNING: Do not overload the system by
installing add-in cards that draw excessive
current. The system is designed to provide
2 amps (average) of +5 V power for each
board/card in the computer. The total +5 V
current draw in a fully loaded system (one with
all add-in card slots filled) must not exceed the
total number of slots multiplied by 2 amps.
WARNING: Be careful of the sharp edges on the
expansion slot cover.
WARNING: There is danger of an explosion if the
battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with
the same, or equivalent, type of battery. Discard
used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
