To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 seconds
after you turn off the system before you remove a component from the
system board or disconnect a peripheral device from the computer.
To help prevent electric shock, plug the computer and peripheral
power cables into properly grounded power sources. These cables
are equipped with 3-prong plugs to 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 protect your computer system from sudden, transient
increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor,
line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Be sure nothing rests on your computer system cables and that the
cables are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
Do not spill food or liquids on your computer. If the computer gets
wet, consult the documentation that came with it.
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 rug.
