Safety, precautionary and compliance instructions

3

• The unit can be equipped with a power output which may only be

used to connect a monitor.

• Never open the power supply unit! The components (e. g. power

supply) marked with a warning (e.g. lightning) may only be
opened, removed or exchanged by authorised qualified
personnel.

• If the BIOS needs to be updated, only use Fujitsu Siemens

Computers updates.

• When installing additional components (e.g. hard disks) ensure

that there is adequate cooling.


Repairs
• Repairs to the unit may only be carried out by authorised

qualified personnel. Unauthorised opening and incorrect repairs
may pose considerable risk to the user (risk of electric shock or
fire).


Diskettes (applies only to systems with floppy disk drives)
• Keep diskettes away from magnets or other magnetic objects

(monitors also produce a magnetic field).

• Damage to the diskette can lead to loss of data.
• The LED on the disk drive will light up while the diskette is being

accessed. The disk drive should not be opened and the diskette
must not be removed while the LED is illuminated. This could
damage the diskette and the disk drive.


Optical drives

• Use only completely perfect storage media (e.g. CD, DVD) in

your optical drive to avoid data loss, damage to the machine and
injury.

• Each CD/DVD should be checked for damage such as fine

cracks, fractures or similar prior to insertion in the drive.

• Note that additional adhesive changes the mechanical properties

of a CD/DVD and may lead to an imbalance.

• Damaged and unbalanced CDs/DVDs may break at high drive

speeds (data loss). Under some circumstances, sharp-edged
fractures may penetrate the cover of the drive (damage to the
machine) and be thrown out of the machine (risk of injury, in
particular to exposed parts of the body such as face and neck).
