PASSI DI SICUREZZA: Qualora si rimuovano le coperture del telaio per accedere all'interno del sistema, seguire i seguenti passi:

1.Spegnere tutti i dispositivi periferici collegati al sistema.

2.Spegnere il sistema, usando il pulsante spento/acceso dell'interruttore del sistema.

3.Togliere tutte le spine dei cavi del sistema dalle prese elettriche.

4.Identificare e sconnettere tutti i cavi attaccati ai collegamenti I/O od alle prese installate sul retro del sistema.

5.Qualora si tocchino i componenti, proteggersi dallo scarico elettrostatico (SES), portando un cinghia anti-statica da polso che è attaccata alla presa a terra del telaio del sistema - qualsiasi superficie non dipinta - .

6.Non far operare il sistema quando il telaio è senza le coperture.

Dopo aver seguito i sei passi di SICUREZZA sopracitati, togliere le coperture del telaio del sistema come seque:

1.Aprire e rimuovere il lucchetto dal retro del sistema qualora ve ne fosse uno installato.

2.Togliere e mettere in un posto sicuro tutte le viti delle coperture.

3.Togliere le coperture.

Per il giusto flusso dell'aria e raffreddamento del sistema, rimettere sempre le coperture del telaio prima di riaccendere il sistema. Operare il sistema senza le coperture al loro proprio posto potrebbe danneggiare i componenti del sistema. Per rimettere le coperture del telaio:

1.Controllare prima che non si siano lasciati degli attrezzi o dei componenti dentro il sistema.

2.Controllare che i cavi, dei supporti aggiuntivi ed altri componenti siano stati installati appropriatamente.

3.Attaccare le coperture al telaio con le viti tolte in precedenza e avvitarle strettamente.

4.Inserire e chiudere a chiave il lucchetto sul retro del sistema per impedire l'accesso non autorizzato al sistema.

5.Ricollegare tutti i cavi esterni e le prolunghe AC del sistema.

Se il sistema è stato a lungo in funzione, il microprocessore e il dissipatore di calore potrebbero essere surriscaldati. Fare attenzione alla presenza di piedini appuntiti e parti taglienti sulle schede e sul telaio. È consigliabile l'uso di guanti di protezione.
