Product Information Guide
SAFETY: General
• Observe and follow service markings. Do not service any product except as explained in your system documentation.
Opening or removing covers that are marked with the triangular symbol with a lightning bolt may expose you to electrical
shock. Components inside these compartments should be serviced only by a trained service technician.
• If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical outlet and replace the part or contact
your trained service provider:
– The power cable, extension cable, or plug is damaged.
– An object has fallen into the product.
– The product has been exposed to water.
– The product has been dropped or damaged.
– The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating instructions.
• Keep your system away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents.
• Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate the product in a wet environment. If the system
gets wet, see "SAFETY: If Your System Gets Wet."
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your system. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior
components.
• Use the product only with approved equipment.
• Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal components.
• Keep the system away from direct or excessive moisture and extremely hot or cold temperatures to ensure that the system
is used within the specified operating range.
• Leave a 10.2 cm (4 in) minimum clearance on all vented sides of the system to permit the airflow required for proper
ventilation.
• Do not restrict airflow into the system by blocking any vents or air intakes.
• Clean the air vents on the front, back, and vented sides of the system. Lint, dust and other foreign materials can block the
vents and restrict the airflow.
• Do not stack systems on top of each other or place computers so close to each other that they are subject to each other's
re-circulated or preheated air.
• Do not operate the system within a separate enclose unless adequate intake and exhaust ventilation are provided on the
enclosure that adhere to the guidelines listed above.
• Operate the product only from the type of external power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure
of the type of power source required, consult your service provider or local power company.
NOTICE:
To help avoid damaging your system, be sure the voltage selection switch (if provided) on the power supply is set for
the voltage that most closely matches the AC power available in your location. Also be sure that your monitor and attached
devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location.
• Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided with a power cable for your system or for any AC-powered
option intended for your system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use in your country. The power cable must be
rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the product's electrical ratings label. The voltage and current
rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the product.
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system and peripheral power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets.
These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help 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.
• Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the
extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or power strip.
