IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read following instructions carefully.
Use only parts, especially power adapter, recommended by the manufacturer; unapproved
parts may be hazardous.
Before plugging the power cord into the AC inlet of the power supply unit, make sure that the
voltage applied to the power outlet is within the specified range (100VAC~240VAC).
Improper power source voltage range will cause damage to the power supply unit.
Power off the system and remove the power adapter while cleaning the system.
Before powering on the system, make sure all the peripherals are firmly installed.
Do not use the system near water, such as a bathtub, a washbowl, a kitchen sink, a laundry
tub, and a swimming pool. Do not expose the machine under direct sunlight, and keep it
away from any heat source.
Do not place the system on an unstable cart, stand or table. If the machine falls, it may injure
a person or cause serious damage to the appliance.
The system is equipped with a three-wire grounded plug with a third (grounding) pin. This is a
safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug, have an electrician
install a correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not leave out the
safety purpose of the grounded plug.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate the system where people may
walk on the cord.
Do not make the power outlet and extension cords overload. Overload can result in fire or
electric shock.
Do not push any object into the computer cabinet. Dangerous voltage points may be touched
and the parts may be shorted out resulting in fire or electric shock.
Do not attempt to service the system on your own. Opening or removing cover can expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Power off the system before installing or removing non-PNP (plug and play) devices.
If any of the following situations occurs, unplug the systems from the power outlet
immediately and consult with a qualified service person:
1. The power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
2. Liquid is spilled into the system.
3. The system is dropped or the cabinet is damaged.
When the system is not in use, cover the system and store it with care.
