Safety Instructions
Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis, such as
the metal around the card-slot openings at the back of the computer, before touch-
ing anything inside your computer.
While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer
chassis to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components.
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not
remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to
install the component in your computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic pack-
aging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
To help protect your system/components from sudden, transient increases and
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninter-
ruptible power supply (UPS).
To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 seconds after turning off
the computer before disconnecting a device from the computer.
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or
packaging.
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 dis-
connecting 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 you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors are
correctly oriented and aligned.
Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts
on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a compo-
nent such as a microprocessor chip by its edges, not by its pins.
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. Do not dispose of the battery along with household waste.
Contact your local waste disposal agency for the address of the nearest bat-
tery deposit site.
