CHAPTER 4 SYSTEM SAFETY

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm

and the Acnodes RMC7132 from damage:

o Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical

outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the system.

o Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.

o Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or in- stalling main system components, such as the motherboard, memory modules

and floppy drive. When disconnecting power, you should first power down the system with the operat- ing system first and then unplug the power cords of all the power supply units in the system.

o When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if necessary.

o Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards they come into contact with.

o Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically

designed as electrical insulators.

o The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into grounded electrical outlets.
