includingthedistinctionbetweenWarnings,Cautions,ImportantNotes,andNotes.

Alwaysusecautionwhenhandling/operatingacomputer.Onlyqualified,
experienced,authorizedelectronicsservicepersonnelshouldaccesstheinterior
ofacomputer.Thepowersuppliesproducehighvoltagesandenergyhazards,
whichcancausebodilyharm.
Useextremecautionwheninstallingorremovingcomponents.Refertothe
installationinstructionsinthisuser’sguideforprecautionsandprocedures.Ifyou
haveanyquestions,pleasecontactourPost‐SalesTechnicalSupport.
Accesscanonlybegainedbyservicepersonsorbyuserswhohavebeen
instructedaboutthereasonsfortherestrictionsappliedtothelocationand
aboutanyprecautionsthatshallbetaken;andaccessisthroughtheuseofa
toolorlockandkey,orothermeansofsecurity,andiscontrolledbyauthority
responsibleforthelocation.

WARNING
Highvoltagesarepresentinsidethechassiswhentheunit’spowercordispluggedintoan
electricaloutlet.Turnoffsystempower,turnoffthepowersupply,andthendisconnectthe
powercordfromitssourcebeforeremovingthechassiscover.Turningoffthesystempower
switchdoesnotremovepowertocomponents.

WhenWorkingInsideaComputer
Beforetakingcoversoffacomputer,performthefollowingsteps:
1. Turnoffthecomputerandanyperipherals.
2. Disconnectthecomputerandperipheralsfromtheirpowersourcesorsubsystemsto
preventelectricshockorsystemboarddamage.Thisdoesnotapplywhenhot

4. Disconnectanytelephoneortelecommunicationslinesfromthecomputer.

Inaddition,takenoteofthesesafetyguidelineswhenappropriate:
Tohelpavoidpossibledamagetosystemboards,waitfivesecondsafterturningoff
thecomputerbeforeremovingacomponent,removingasystemboard,or
disconnectingaperipheraldevicefromthecomputer.
Whenyoudisconnectacable,pullonitsconnectororonitsstrain‐reliefloop,noton
thecableitself.Somecableshaveaconnectorwithlockingtabs.Ifyouare
disconnectingthistypeofcable,pressinonthelockingtabsbeforedisconnectingthe
cable.Asyoupullconnectorsapart,keepthemevenlyalignedtoavoidbendingany
connectorpins.Also,beforeconnectingacable,makesurebothconnectorsare
correctlyorientedandaligned.

Donotattempttoservicethesystemyourselfexceptasexplainedinthisuser’sguide.Follow
installationandtroubleshootinginstructionsclosely.

PreventingElectrostaticDischarge
Staticelectricitycanharmsystemboards.PerformserviceatanESDworkstationandfollow
properESDproceduretoreducetheriskofdamagetocomponents.Westrongly
encouragesyoutofollowproperESDprocedure,whichcanincludewriststrapsandsmocks,
whenservicingequipment.
Youcanalsotakethefollowingstepstopreventdamagefromelectrostaticdischarge(ESD):
Whenunpackingastatic‐sensitivecomponentfromitsshippingcarton,donotremove
thecomponent’santistaticpackingmaterialuntilyouarereadytoinstallthe
componentinacomputer.Justbeforeunwrappingtheantistaticpackaging,besure
youareatanESDworkstationorgrounded.Thiswilldischargeanystaticelectricity
thatmayhavebuiltupinyourbody.
Whentransportingasensitivecomponent,firstplaceitinanantistaticcontaineror
packaging.
HandleallsensitivecomponentsatanESDworkstation.Ifpossible,useantistaticfloor

Operatingasystematahighaltitude(lowpressure)reducestheefficiencyofthe

PowerProtection
Thegreatestthreatstoasystem’ssupplyofpowerarepowerloss,powerspikes,and


SurgeProtector
Surgeprotectorsareavailableinavarietyoftypesandusuallyprovidealevelof
protectionproportionalwiththecostofthedevice.Surgeprotectorspreventvoltage
spikesfromenteringasystemthroughtheACpowercord.Surgeprotectors,however,
donotofferprotectionagainstbrownouts,whichoccurwhenthevoltagedropsmore
than20percentbelowthenormalAClinevoltagelevel.

LineConditioner
Lineconditionersgobeyondtheovervoltageprotectionofsurgeprotectors.Line
conditionerskeepasystem’sACpowersourcevoltageatafairlyconstantleveland,
therefore,canhandlebrownouts.Becauseofthisaddedprotection,lineconditioners
costmorethansurgeprotectors.However,lineconditionerscannotprotectagainsta
completelossofpower.

UninterruptiblePowerSupply
Uninterruptiblepowersupply(UPS)systemsofferthemostcompleteprotection
