• 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 the appropriate section in your troubleshooting guide or contact your trained service provider.
• 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.
• 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.
• To help avoid damaging your system, be sure that the voltage selection switch (if provided) on the power supply is
set to match the power available at your location:
- 115 volts (V), 60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as South
Korea and Taiwan
- 100 V, 50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V, 60 Hz in western Japan
- 230 V, 50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East
• Also, be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location.
• Use only approved power cables. 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.
• The peripheral power 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 three-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.
• To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge
suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Position system cables and power cables carefully; route cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be
sure that nothing rests on any cables.
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site modifications.
• Always follow your local and national wiring rules.
• Move products with care; ensure that all casters and stabilizers are firmly connected to the system. Avoid sudden
stops and uneven surfaces.
