Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer system from poten-

tial damage and to ensure your own personal safety.

:KHQ8VLQJ<RXU&RPSXWHU6\VWHP

As you use your computer system, observe the following safety guidelines.

To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure the voltage selection switch on

the power supply is set to match the 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 devices are electrically rated to operate

with the AC power available in your location.

To help prevent electric shock, plug the computer and device power cables into

properly grounded power sources. These cables are equipped with 3-prong plugs

to help 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 avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 seconds after turning

off the system before disconnecting a device from the computer.

To help protect your computer system from sudden, transient increases and

decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or un-

interruptible power supply (UPS).

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

“If Your Computer Gets Wet” in Chapter 6.

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, and do not

place your computer in a closed-in wall unit or on a bed, sofa, or rug.

For comfort and efficiency, observe the following ergonomic guidelines when setting

up and using your computer system:

Position your system so that the monitor and keyboard are directly in front of you

as you work. Special shelves are available (from Dell and other sources) to help

you correctly position your keyboard.

Set the monitor at a comfortable viewing distance (usually 510 to 610 millimeters

[20 to 24 inches] from your eyes).

Make sure the monitor screen is at eye level or slightly lower when you are sitting

in front of the monitor.

Adjust the tilt of the monitor, its contrast and brightness settings, and the lighting

around you (such as overhead lights, desk lamps, and the curtains or blinds on

nearby windows) to minimize reflections and glare on the monitor screen.

Use a chair that provides good lower back support.

Keep your forearms horizontal with your wrists in a neutral, comfortable position

while using the keyboard or mouse.

Always leave space to rest your hands while using the keyboard or mouse.

Let your upper arms hang naturally at your sides.

Sit erect, with your feet resting on the floor and your thighs level.

When sitting, make sure the weight of your legs is on your feet and not on the

front of your chair seat. Adjust your chair’s height or use a footrest, if necessary,

to maintain proper posture.

Vary your work activities. Try to organize your work so that you do not have to

type for extended periods of time. When you stop typing, try to do things that

use both hands.

While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer

chassis to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components.

In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:

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; to dis-

connect this type of cable, press in the locking tabs before disconnecting the

cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending

any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make sure both connectors

are correctly oriented and aligned.

Handle components and cards with care. Don’t touch the components or con-

tacts on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket.

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your computer. To prevent

static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of

your computer’s electronic components, such as expansion cards. You can do so by

touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis.

As you continue to work inside the computer, periodically touch an unpainted metal

surface to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated. Use of a wrist

grounding strap is highly recommended.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge

(ESD):

Keep a static-sensitive component in its antistatic packing material until you are

ready to install the component in your computer. Just before unwrapping the

antistatic packaging, discharge static electricity from your body.

Transport sensitive components in antistatic containers or packaging.

Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic

floor pads and workbench pads.
