Safety Instructions
Safety Instructions
nBefore You Begin
Before handling the product, read the instructions and safety guidelines on the
following pages to prevent damage to the product and to ensure your own personal
safety. Refer to the “Advisories”section in the Preface for advisory conventions used
in this user’s guide, including the distinction between Warnings, Cautions, Important
Notes, and Notes.
nAlways 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.
nUse 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.
nAccess 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.

Safety Instructions
nWhen 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 swapping parts.
3. Follow the guidelines provided in “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge”on the
following page.
4. Disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.
In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:
nTo 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.
nWhen 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.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to service the system yourself except as explained in this
user’s guide. Follow installation and troubleshooting instructions closely.
nPreventing 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):

Safety Instructions
nWhen 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.
nWhen transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container
or packaging.
nHandle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, use
antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
nHandle components and boards with care. Don’t touch the components or
contacts on a board. Hold a board by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket.
nDo not handle or store system boards near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic,
magnetic, or radioactive fields.
nInstructions for Lithium Battery
WARNING
Danger of explosion when battery is replaced with incorrect type. Only replace
with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not dispose of lithium batteries in domestic waste. Dispose of the battery
according to the local regulations dealing with the disposal of these special
materials (e.g. to the collecting points for disposal of batteries)

Preface
Preface
nHow to Use This Guide
This guide is designed to be used as step-by-step instructions for installation, and as
a reference for operation, troubleshooting, and upgrades.
nUnpacking
When unpacking, follow these steps:
1. After opening the box, save it and the packing material for possible future
shipment.
2. Remove all items from the box. If any items listed on the purchase order
are missing, notify our customer service immediately.
3. Inspect the product for damage. If there is damage, notify our customer
service immediately. Refer to “Warranty Policy”for the return procedure.
nRegulatory Compliance Statements
This section provides the FCC compliance statement for Class Adevices.
FCC Compliance Statement:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reason able protection against harmful interference in residential installations. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radiofrequency energy, and if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
interference to radio or television equipment reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
nReorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
nIncrease the separation between the equipment and receiver.
nConnect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

Preface
receiver is connected.
nConsult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by your dealer could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE
The assembler of a personal computer system may be required to test
the system and/or make necessary modifications if a system is found to
cause harmful interference or to be noncompliant with the appropriate
standards for its intended use.

Preface
nMaintaining Your Computer
Environmental Factors
nTemperature
The ambient temperature within an enclosure may be greater than room
ambient temperature. Installation in an enclosure should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation is not compromised.
Consideration should be given to the maximum rated ambient temperature.
Overheating can cause a variety of problems, including premature aging and
failure of chips or mechanical failure of devices.
If the system has been exposed to abnormally cold temperatures, allow a
two-hour warm-up period to bring it up to normal operating temperature before
turning it on. Failure to do so may cause damage to internal components,
particularly the hard disk drive.
nHumidity
High-humidity can cause moisture to enter and accumulate in the system. This
moisture can cause corrosion of internal components and degrade such
properties as electrical resistance and thermal conductivity. Extreme moisture
buildup inside the system can result in electrical shorts, which can cause
serious damage to the system.
Buildings in which climate is controlled usually maintain an acceptable level of
humidity for system equipment. However, if a system is located in an unusually
humid location, a dehumidifier can be used to maintain the humidity within an
acceptable range. Refer to the “Specifications”section of this user’s guide for
the operating and storage humidity specifications.
nAltitude
Operating a system at a high altitude (low pressure) can cause electrical
problems related to arcing and corona effects. This condition can also cause
sealed components with internal pressure, such as electrolytic capacitors, to fail
or perform at reduced efficiency.
