Safety Precautions
Before getting started, please read the following important safety
precautions.
1. The IPC912 Series does not come equipped with an
operating system. An operating system must be loaded first
before installing any software into the computer.
2. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when
installing the internal components. Use a grounding wrist
strap and place all electronic components in any static-
shielded devices. Most electronic components are sensitive
to static electrical charge.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the IPC912 Series before
making any installation. Be sure both the system and the
external devices are turned OFF. Sudden surge of power
could ruin sensitive components. Make sure the IPC912
Series is properly grounded.
4. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before
connecting the equipment to the power outlet.
5. Turn OFF the system power before cleaning. Clean the
system using a cloth only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner
directly onto the screen.
6. Do not leave this equipment in an uncontrolled environment
where the storage temperature is below -20℃or above 80℃.
It may damage the equipment.
7. Do not open the system’s back cover. If opening the cover
for maintenance is a must, only a trained technician is
allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are
sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from
electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an
unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few
seconds. This will help to discharge any static electricity
on your body.
When handling boards and components, wear a wrist-
grounding strap, available from most electronic
component stores.

General Cleaning Tips
You may need the following precautions before you begin to clean the
computer. When you clean any single part or component for the
computer, please read and understand the details below fully.
When you need to clean the device, please rub it with a piece of dry
cloth.
1. Be cautious of the tiny removable components when you use
a vacuum cleaner to absorb the dirt on the floor.
2. Turn the system off before you start to clean up the
component or computer.
3. Never drop the components inside the computer or get circuit
board damp or wet.
4. Be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals
when you use it for the sake of cleaning. Some individuals
may be allergic to the ingredients.
5. Try not to put any food, drink or cigarette around the
computer.
Cleaning Tools:
Although many companies have created products to help improve the
process of cleaning your computer and peripherals users can also
use household items to clean their computers and peripherals. Below
is a listing of items you may need or want to use while cleaning your
computer or computer peripherals.
Keep in mind that some components in your computer may only be
able to be cleaned using a product designed for cleaning that
component, if this is the case it will be mentioned in the cleaning.

zCloth: A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up
a component. Although paper towels or tissues can be used
on most hardware as well, we still recommend you to rub it
with a piece of cloth.
zWater or rubbing alcohol: You may moisten a piece of cloth a
bit with some water or rubbing alcohol and rub it on the
computer. Unknown solvents may be harmful to the plastics
parts.
zVacuum cleaner: Absorb the dust, dirt, hair, cigarette
particles, and other particles out of a computer can be one of
the best methods of cleaning a computer. Over time these
items can restrict the airflow in a computer and cause
circuitry to corrode.
zCotton swabs: Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol
or water are excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas in
your keyboard, mouse, and other locations.
zFoam swabs: Whenever possible it is better to use lint free
swabs such as foam swabs.
Note It is strongly recommended that you should shut down
the system before you start to clean any single
components.
Please follow the steps below:
1. Close all application programs
2. Close operating software
3. Turn off power switch
4. Remove all device
