Safety
WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE: The highlighted module below is an AC/DC power supply that
poses a shock hazard. When the computer is under power, be aware that the power supply
contains high voltages that pose a potential hazard to your personal safety. Never work on or
near the power supply with the unit powered on; and as a further precaution, always make sure
the unit is unplugged when working on it with the front bezel removed. A white, shock- hazard
warning symbol is silk-screened in the middle of the power supply module.
WARNING:
Text or photographs marked by this symbol indicate that a potential hazard to your personal
safety exists from a high voltage source.
The AC/DC power supply board is a high-voltage source with the unit under power, and remains
powered up whenever the system is plugged in, whether or not the system is turned on. Use
extreme caution when troubleshooting the system with the front bezel removed.
Disconnect power to the system before performing maintenan ce.
Disconnect ESD wrist straps when working on a plugged in system.
Don’t work alone. In the event of an electrical shock, it is important to have another
individual present who can provide assistance.
Keep one hand in your pocket when working on any computer that is plugged in. This
will help ensure that your body does not provide a path to ground in the event that you
accidentally make contact with the line voltage.
Don’t wear jewelry, watches, necklaces, or other metallic articles that could present a risk
if they accidentally make contact with the power supply circuitry.
