Finding Information

 

 

l

 

When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly

aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

l

 

Handle components with care. Hold a component by its edges, not its pins.

NOTICE:

When taking the media base from low-temperature conditions into a warmer environment or from high-temperature conditions into a cooler

environment, allow the media base to acclimate to room temperature before turning on power.

l

 

If your media base gets wet or is damaged, follow the procedures described in "Solving Problems" in the documentation that came with your

computer. If, after following these procedures, you confirm that your media base is not operating properly, contact Dell (see Contacting Dell in the
documentation that came with your computer for the appropriate contact information).

 

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

 

Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your media base. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you
touch any of your media base's electronic components. You can do so by touching any unpainted metal surface on the back of the media base. Periodically
touch any unpainted metal surface on the back of the media base to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated.

 

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

l

 

When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you

are ready to install the component. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.

l

 

When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.

l

 

Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
