Safety Precautions

Read and follow the content of the Safety Precautions carefully so that you

will not cause damages to yourself or the system.

1. Pay attention to the warnings and notes in this manual to avoid causing

unexpected damages.

2. If you want to wipe the system with a wet cloth, make sure the power

cord is disconnected. We strongly suggest not to wipe the system with

chemical detergent or sprayed detergent.

3. When moving the system, do not put the system on uneven, unsteady

or slanting surfaces.

4. Do not put water cups or beverages near the PC system to protect the

system from being damaged by liquids.

5. There are ventilating holes on the backboard of the computer case

to dissipate heat from the machine. You should pay attention to the

position of the PC so that the ventilating holes will not be blocked.

Meanwhile, don’t put your PC on something not sturdy enough – like

rug or bed mattress – to ensure smooth air ow for heat dissipation.

6. Before plugging on power, make certain the electric voltage in your

area complies with that of the PC. If you are uncertain, consult your PC

dealer or power company rst.

7. Do not place your PC on power cords. Do not leave the power lines in

tangles which may cause people to stumble.

8. It normally takes several power sockets to meet the need of a PC

system. Make sure the extension power line is capable of handling

the total power load for all equipment. In other words, the combined

amperage of all electrical appliances on the same extension line must

not exceed the strength of electric currents or the fuse of the extension

line.



9. When your PC system runs into problems, do not try to x it unless

you possess adequate technical know-how concerning hardware

installation and system maintenance. It would advisable to seek

assistance from qualified maintenance personnel so as to avoid

improper disassembling.

10. When encountering the following more dangerous situations,

unplug the power to shut down the system and then seek help from

professional technicians to x the problems:

10.1 When liquids nd their way into the equipment.

10.2 When the PC is soaked by rain.

10.3 When power cords or power sockets are damaged.

10.4 When the PC system falls to the ground and is damaged.

10.5 When some problems cannot be solved even after you

installed the system according to the manual or the

troubleshooting procedures.

1.5 Get Ready for Installation

Before building your PC, clear a good-size workspace. Open the

components pack. Follow these steps:

Step 1

Carefully select the workspace. Avoid places with heavy dusts, wet or

high temperature. Stay away from other electric equipment. Especially,

the electric source and connecting parts should have a distance from

other electrical appliances to avoid electromagnetic or wireless frequency

interference. This generally should not be a problem at home. But you

should pay special attention when building the PC in other places to stay

away from heating equipment, air conditioners, copy machines, TV sets,

and wireless broadcasting stations or antennas.

Step 2

Open the components pack and count all parts in the pack. Such information

is available at the front section of this manual and make sure all the listed

items are included. Carefully secure the pack because you will need the

pack to collect the items when you have to move the PC to a new place

in the future. In case there are items missing in the pack, contact your PC

dealer immediately to make up all components and accessories.

Step 3

Connecting parts and components: Connect all cables with respective

sockets and plug power cable into power source socket.

Caution: Make sure all wires and cables are connected before you connect

power cable and switch on power source.
