Safety Instructions 7

Use the following safety guidelines to protect yourself and your computer.

For comfort and efficiency, observe the ergonomic guidelines provided in

the Tell Me How help file.

When Using Your Computer

CAUTION: Do not operate your computer with any cover(s)

(including the computer cover, filler brackets, front-panel

inserts, and so on) removed.

•To help avoid damaging your computer, the power voltage is

automatically sensed to match the AC power available at your

location. If your computer does not automatically sense the power

voltage, please set it to the proper voltage for your location.

Also be sure that your monitor and attached devices are electrically rated to

operate with the AC power available in your location.

•To avoid shorting out your computer when disconnecting a network

cable, first unplug the cable from the NIC on the back of your

computer, and then from the network jack on the wall. When

reconnecting a network cable to your computer, first plug the cable

into the network jack, and then into the NIC.

•To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 seconds

after turning off the computer before disconnecting or connecting a

non-USB device.

•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 protect your computer from sudden, transient increases and

decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner,

or uninterruptible power supply.

•Be sure that nothing rests on your computer’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, contact Dell (see page 68).

8Safety Instructions

•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

bed, sofa, or rug.

When Working Inside Your Computer

Before you remove the computer cover, perform the following steps in the

sequence indicated.

NOTICE: Do not attempt to service the computer yourself, except as

explained in this guide and elsewhere in Dell documentation. Always follow

installation and service instructions closely.

1Turn off your computer and all devices.

2Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface at the back of

the computer before touching anything inside your computer.

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

computer to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal

components.

3Disconnect any devices connected to the computer, including the

monitor, from their electrical outlets to reduce the potential for

personal injury or shock. Also, disconnect any telephone or

telecommunication lines from the computer.

4Disconnect the power cable to your computer, and then press the

power button to ground the system board.

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

•When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector, not on the cable

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

bending any pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make sure that

both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

•Handle components and cards with care. Don’t touch the components

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

CAUTION: There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is

incorrectly installed. Replace the battery only with the same or

equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used

batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Safety Instructions 9

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before

you touch anything inside your computer and periodically while you work

inside the computer. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface

on the back of the computer.

You can also take the following steps to prevent static damage:

•Do not remove items from their antistatic packing material until you

are ready to install them in your computer. Just before unwrapping the

antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your

body.

•When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic

container or packaging.
