CAUTION: Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety and to help protect

your computer and working environment from potential damage.

General

• Do not attempt to service the computer yourself unless you are a trained service

technician. Always follow installation instructions closely.

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

grounded electrical outlets. 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 the potential hazard of electric shock, do not use your computer during an

electrical storm.

• To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or disconnect

any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during an

electrical storm.

• If your computer includes a modem, the cable used with the modem should be

manufactured with a minimum wire size of 26 American wire gauge (AWG) and an

FCC-compliant RJ-11 modular plug.

• Before you clean your computer, disconnect the computer from the electrical outlet.

Clean your computer with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use liquid or aerosol

cleaners, which may contain flammable substances.

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

computer before disconnecting a device from the computer.

• To avoid shorting out your computer when disconnecting a network cable, first unplug

the cable from the network adapter on the back of your computer, and then from the

network jack. When reconnecting a network cable to your computer, first plug the cable

into the network jack, and then into the network adapter.

• To help protect your computer from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical

power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Setup and Quick Reference Guide 9

• Ensure 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 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.

• Do not spill food or liquids on your computer. If the computer gets wet, consult your

User’s Guide.

CAUTION: Safety Instructions (continued)

When Using Your Computer

As you use your computer, observe the following safe-handling guidelines.

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

covers, bezels, filler brackets, front-panel inserts, and so on) removed.

• Your computer is equipped with one of the following:

– A fixed-voltage power supply — Computers with a fixed-voltage power supply do not

have a voltage selection switch on the back panel and operate at only one voltage

(see the regulatory label on the outside of the computer for its operating voltage).

– An auto-sensing voltage circuit — Computers with an auto-sensing voltage circuit do

not have a voltage selection switch on the back panel and automatically detect the

correct operating voltage.

– A manual voltage selection switch — Computers with a voltage selection switch on

the back panel must be manually set to operate at the correct operating voltage.

NOTICE: To help avoid damaging a computer with a manual voltage selection switch, set the

switch for the voltage that most closely matches the AC power available in your location. For Japan,

the voltage selection switch must be set to the 115-V position even though the AC power available in

Japan is 100 V. Also, ensure that your monitor and attached devices are electrically rated to

operate with the AC power available in your location.
