Hazardous Voltage
There is hazardous voltage present inside the
notebook when it is connected to an AC supply,
even when the notebook’s power switch is off.
Exposure to hazardous voltage could cause
personal injury. To avoid risk of injury, contact an
Authorized Service Provider for proper
(un)installation of optional hardware devices.
Avoid Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic electricity can easily damage circuit
cards and integrated circuits (ICs). To reduce risk of
damage, store them in protective packaging
whenever they are not installed in the system.
Add-in cards can be extremely sensitive to ESD and
always require careful handling. After removing the
card from the notebook, place the card flat on a
grounded, static-free surface, component-side up.
Use a conductive foam pad if available, but not the
card wrapper. Do not slide the card over any
surface.
Before you install or remove memory modules, video
memory, disk drives, circuit cards or other devices,
protect them from static electricity. To do so, make
sure the notebook’s power switch is OFF. Then,
unplug the notebook’s AC power cord. Before
picking up the device you (un)install, you should
wear an anti-static wrist wrap (available at electronic
supply stores). Be sure to connect the wrist wrap to
an unpainted metal portion of the notebook casing.
As an alternative, you can dissipate electrostatic
build-up by touching an unpainted metal portion of
the notebook casing with one hand. Then touch the
device you are (un)installing with the other hand,
and maintain continuous contact with it until it is
(un)installed in the notebook.
Power Supply Unit
Under no circumstances should you attempt to
disassemble the power supply. The power supply
contains no user-serviceable parts. Inside the power
supply are hazardous voltages that can cause
serious personal injury. Always return a defective
power supply to the dealer.
WARNING
Ensure that the notebook is disconnected
from its power source and from all
telecommunications links, networks, or
modem lines whenever the casing cover is
removed. Do not operate the notebook with
the cover removed.
AVERTISSEMENT
Assurez-vous que le système est débranché
de son alimentation ainsi que de toutes les
liaisons de télécommunication, des réseaux,
et des lignes de modem avant d’enlever le
capot. Ne pas utiliser le système quand le
capot est enlevé.
WARNUNG
Das System darf weder an eine Stromquelle
angeschlossen sein noch eine Verbindung mit
einer Telekommunikationseinrichtung, einem
Netzwerk oder einer Modem-Leitung haben,
wenn die Gehäuseabdeckung entfernt wird.
Nehmen Sie das System nicht ohne die
Abdeckung in Betrieb.
ADVERTENCIA
Asegúrese de que cada vez que se quite la
cubierta del portátil, el sistema haya sido
desconectado de la red de alimentación y de
todos lo enlaces de telecomunicaciones, de
red y de líneas de módem. No ponga en
funcionamiento el sistema mientras la cubierta
esté quitada.
WAARSCHUWING
Zorg er voor dat alle verbindingen van en naar
de notebook (stroom, modem, netwerk, etc)
verbroken worden voordat de behuizing
geopend wordt. Zet de notebook nooit aan als
de behuizing geopend is.
AVVERTENZA
Prima di rimuovere il coperchio del telaio,
assicurarsi che il sistema sia scollegato
dall’alimentazione, da tutti i collegamenti di
comunicazione, reti o linee di modem. Non
avviare il sistema senza aver prima messo a
posto il coperchio.
