Electrical Safety

IMPORTANT

• Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the

power cables for the system unit and all attached devices

are unplugged.

• To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power

cable from the electrical outlet before relocating the

system.

• When adding or removing any additional devices to or from

the system, ensure that the power cables for those devices

are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If

possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing

system before you add a device.

• Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect

signal cables to prevent a possible shock from touching

two surfaces with different electrical potentials.

This product is equipped with a three-wire power cable

and plug for the user’s safety. Use the power cable with

a properly grounded electrical outlet to avoid electrical

shock.

CAUTION

Motherboards, adapters, and disk drives are sensitive to

static electricity discharge. These devices are wrapped

in antistatic bags to prevent this damage. Take the

following precautions:

• If you have an antistatic wrist strap available, use it while

handling the device.

• Do not remove the device from the antistatic bag until you

are ready to install the device in the system unit.

• With the device still in its antistatic bag, touch it to a metal

frame of the system.

• Grasp cards and boards by the edges. Hold drives by the

frame. Avoid touching the solder joints or pins.

• If you need to lay the device down while it is out of the

antistatic bag, lay it on the antistatic bag. Before picking it

up again, touch the antistatic bag and the metal frame of

the system unit at the same time.

• Handle the devices carefully to prevent permanent

damage.
