Safety and Warning

Observe the following safety instructions any time you are connecting or

disconnecting devices to the workstation.

WARNING:

An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place

hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to

the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is

correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables

for the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.

When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system,

ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before the

signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from

the existing system before you add a device.

Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to pre-

vent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical

potentials.

During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, print-

ers, telephones, or station protectors for communications lines.

To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the

electrical outlet before relocating the system.

WARNING:

This product is equipped with a three-wire power cable and

plug for the user's safety. Use the power cable in conjunction with a prop-

erly grounded electrical outlet to avoid electrical shock.

Static-Sensitive Devices

CAUTION:

Motherboards, adapters, and disk drives are sensitive to static

electricity discharge. These devices are wrapped in antistatic bags to prevent

this damage. Take the following precautions:

•

If you have an antistatic wrist strap available, use it while handling the

device.

•

Do not remove the device from the antistatic bag until you are ready to

install the device in the system unit.

•

With the device still in its antistatic bag, touch it to a metal frame of the

system.

•

Grasp cards and boards by the edges. Hold drives by the frame. Avoid

touching the solder joints or pins.

•

If you need to lay the device down while it is out of the antistatic bag,

lay it on the antistatic bag. Before picking it up again, touch the anti-

static bag and the metal frame of the system unit at the same time.

•

Handle the devices carefully in order to prevent permanent damage.
