•To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure the voltage selection switch
on the power supply is set to match the alternating current (AC) power
available at your location:
– 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and
some Far Eastern countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan
– 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East. Also
be sure your monitor and attached peripherals are electrically rated to
operate with the AC power available in your location.
•To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait five seconds after
turning off the system before removing a component from the system board
or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer.
•To help prevent electric shock, plug the computer and peripheral power
cables into properly grounded power sources. These cables are equipped
with 3-prong plugs to ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or
remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension
cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
•To help protect your computer system from sudden, transient increases and
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or
uninterruptible power supply.
•Be sure nothing rests on your computer system’s cables and that the cables
are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
•Do not spill food or liquids on your computer. If the computer gets wet,
consult the documenation that came with it.
•Do not push any objects into the openings of your computer. Doing so can
cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
•Keep your computer away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not
block cooling vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your computer;
do not place your computer in a closed-in wall unit or on a rug.
When Working Inside Your Computer
Notice:Do not attempt to service the computer system yourself, except
as explained in this guide and elsewhere in LSI Logic documen-
tation. Always follow installation and service instructions closely.
1. Turn off your computer and any peripherals.
2. Disconnect your computer and peripherals from their power sources. Also
disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.
Doing so reduces the potential for personal injury or shock.
