ac power safety warnings
WARNING: Install the PC near an AC outlet. The AC power cable is
your PC’s main AC disconnecting device and must be easily
accessible at all times. For your safety, the power cable provided
with your system has a grounded plug. Always use the power
cable with a properly grounded wall socket to avoid the risk of
electrical shock.
WARNING: To reduce the possibility of an electric shock from the
telephone network, plug your PC into the AC outlet before
connecting it to the telephone line. Also, disconnect the telephone
line before unplugging your PC from the AC power outlet.
WARNING: Your system is provided with a voltage select switch for
use in a 115 or 230 (the UK is 240) VAC power system. The voltage
select switch has been pre-set to the correct voltage setting for use
in the particular country/region where it was initially sold.
Changing the voltage select switch to the incorrect position
can damage your PC and void any implied warranty.
WARNING: Always disconnect the modem cable from the telephone
system before installing or removing your PC cover.
WARNING: Do not operate the PC with the cover removed.
WARNING: The power supply is not user-serviceable. To prevent
damage to the power supply, have a qualified person repair or
replace it. All other components are user-serviceable.
WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives,
add-in cards, and other components. If an ESD station is not
available, wear a wrist strap attached to a metal part of the PC.
Place cards on a conductive foam pad or inside the card wrapper, if
possible, but never on the card wrapper.
