Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your system from potential
damage. Throughout this safety section, the caution icon (
) is used to indicate cautions and precautions that need to
be reviewed and followed.
Safety Cautions
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the equipment observe the following precautions:
•
Observe and follow service markings.
o
Do not service any product except as explained in the system documentation.
o
Opening or removing covers that are marked with the triangular symbol with a lightning bolt may expose
the user to electrical shock.
o
Only a trained service technician should service components inside these compartments.
•
If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical outlet and replace the part or
contact your trained service provider:
o
Damage to the power cable, extension cable, or plug.
o
An object has fallen into the product.
o
The product has been exposed to water.
o
The product has been dropped or damaged.
o
The product does not operate correctly when the operating instructions are correctly followed.
•
Keep your system away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents.
•
Do not spill food or liquids on system components, and never operate the product in a wet environment. If the
system gets wet, see the appropriate section in the troubleshooting guide or contact your trained service provider.
•
Do not push any objects into the openings of the system. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out
interior components.
•
Use the product only with approved equipment.
•
Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal components.
•
Operate the product only from the type of external power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If unsure
of the type of power source required, consult your service provider or local power company.
•
To help avoid damaging the system, be sure the voltage selection switch (if provided) on the power supply is set
to match the power available at the Switch’s location:
o
115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as
South Korea and Taiwan
o
100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japan
o
230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East
•
Also, be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location.
•
Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided with a power cable for your system or for any
AC-powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use in your country.
The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the product's electrical
ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the
product.
•
To help prevent electric shock, plug the system and peripheral power cables into properly grounded electrical
outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter
plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If using an extension cable is necessary, use a 3-wire cable
with properly grounded plugs.
•
Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged
into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for the extension
cable or power strip.
