Safety and precautions
Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of static electricity.
Working on computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow these
guidelines to avoid damage to the computer or injury to yourself.
• Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet.
• Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they ship with until they are ready for instal-
lation.
• After replacing optional devices, make sure all screws, springs, or other small parts are in place and are

The inverter card has high voltage. Do not touch the inverter card while
power is connected to the machine. Unplug the power cord before
attempting to replace any part.
WARNING

To prevent static damage to components, wear a grounded wrist strap.
Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching the bare metal
chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body of any other grounded
appliance.

components on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Do not ex or
stress the circuit board. Do not hold components such as a processor
