Notes on handling
When installing a peripheral device, note the following.
• Some peripheral devices may not be used on your PC.
Before purchasing a peripheral device, refer to the “System configuration diagram” to determine
whether the peripheral device can be used on your PC.
• Whenever possible, use peripheral devices supplied by Fujitsu.
Malfunction or damage caused by the use of a third-party product instead of the Fujitsu device shall
not be covered by the warranty.
Before using a peripheral device in a category for which Fujitsu does not supply genuine products,
contact the third-party manufacturer to ask whether the device is compatible with the PC.
• Have you finished Windows setup?
Installing a peripheral device on the PC before setup may cause the setup program to fail.
• Install one peripheral device at a time.
Installing more than one peripheral devices at a time may cause driver installation to fail.
• Turn off the PC and connected devices.
For safety, be sure to unplug the PC and connected devices. Even if the PC is turned off, an electric
current flows in the PC unit.
• Do not start work immediately after turning off the power.
Components inside the PC may be still hot. After turning off the power and unplugging the PC, wait
for about 10 minutes before starting work.
• Do not disassemble the power supply unit.
The power supply unit is a box-shaped component on the back inside the PC.
• After removing the feet, place the PC unit on a soft cloth.
Placing the PC directly on a hard surface may cause scratches on the PC.
• Be careful with the cables and components inside.
Do not damage or modify them.
• Be careful of static electricity.
PC boards and electronic parts of internal peripheral devices are exposed. They may be damaged
by static electricity generated on your body. Before handling these parts, touch a large metallic
object to discharge static electricity.
• Do not touch PC board surface, soldered parts or connectors.
Hold PC boards by the brackets or edges.
• Power supply for peripheral devices
Typical peripheral devices should be turned on before turning on the PC, however, some should
be turned on after the PC. See the manual for the peripheral device.
• Use ACPI-conforming devices. (Windows Me/98/2000)
This PC conforms to the ACPI standard (one of the power supply control standards for power saving).
When you use a peripheral device on an ACPI-conforming OS, ask the device manufacturer if your
device conforms to ACPI. Non-conforming devices may not work properly.
• Use an appropriate screwdriver.
You must use a Phillips screwdriver to remove slot covers and brackets from the PC.
Use a screwdriver of an appropriate size not to damage screw heads.
