POC-S196 User Manual 38
8.1 Plug in the Power Adapter
Always leave space around the power adapter. Do not use this equipment in a loca-
tion where airflow around the power adapter or computer is confined. Always discon-
nect the power adapter before opening the computer to perform procedures such as
installing memory or removing the hard disk.
8.2 Thermal Information
When using the POC-S196 system, it is normal for the rear metal heatsink to get
warm. The rear metal heatsink of the POC-S196 case functions as a cooling surface
that transfers heat from inside the computer to the cooler air outside. Do not block
this heatsink with any soft material.
8.3 Disconnect the Power
The only way to disconnect the power completely is to unplug the power cord. Make
sure at least one end of the power cord is within easy reach so that you can unplug
the computer when you need to.
Warning! Use only the power adapter that came with the POC-S196 system.
Adapters for other electronic devices may look similar, but they may
damage your computer.
Warning! Do not place your POC-S196 system on a pillow or other soft material
when it is on, as the material may block the airflow and cause the com-
puter to overheat. Never place anything on the system case before turn-
ing off the computer.
Never turn on the computer unless all of its internal and external parts
are in place.
Operating the computer when it is open or missing parts can be danger-
ous and can damage the computer.
Warning! Your AC cord came equipped with a three-wire grounding plug (a plug
that has a third grounding pin). This plug will fit only a grounded AC out-
let. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet because the outlet is
not grounded, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a
properly grounded outlet. Do not circumvent the purpose of the ground-
ing plug.
Warning! Never push objects of any kind into this product through the openings in
the case. Doing so may be dangerous and result in fire or a dangerous
electric shock.
