Safety Instructions
Before 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.
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.
The product chassis may be hot when the system is working. Please do
not touch the surface before turn off the system power and wait for
about 5 minutes until the system cools down.

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 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:
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.
CAUTION
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 encourage 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 pads and workbench pads.
Handle 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.
Do not handle or store system boards near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic,
magnetic, or radioactive fields.

Instructions for Lithium Battery
WARNING
Danger of explosion w hen battery is replaced w ith 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
How 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.
Unpacking
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.
Regulatory Compliance Statements
This section provides the FCC compliance statement for Class A devices.
FCC Compliance Statement for Class ADevices
The product(s) described in this user’s guide has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class Adigital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the user’s guide,may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area (domestic environment) is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference (take adequate measures) at
their own expense. The user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications are not expressly approved by us which 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.
Maintaining Your Computer
EnvironmentalFactors
Temperature
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.
Humidity
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
