Safety Instructions
As you use your computer system, observe these safety guidelines:
• Do not operate your computer system with any cover(s) (such as computer covers,
bezels, filler brackets, and front-panel inserts) removed.
• To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure the voltage selection switch on the
power supply is set to match the alternating current (AC) power available at your
location.
• To help avoid possible damage to the server board, wait five seconds after turning
off the system before removing a component from the server board or disconnecting
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.
• Be sure nothing rests on your computer system's 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.
When working inside your computer:
• Do not attempt to service the computer system yourself, except as explained in this
guide and elsewhere in Intel documentation. Always follow installation and service
instructions closely.
• Turn off your computer and any peripherals.
• Disconnect your computer and peripherals from their power sources. Also
disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.
Doing so reduces the potential for personal injury or shock.
