ac power safety warnings

WARNING: Install the PC near an AC outlet. The AC power cord is your PC’s main AC disconnecting device and must be easily accessible at all times. For your safety, the power cord provided with your system has a grounded plug. Always use the power cord with a properly grounded wall outlet to avoid the risk of electrical shock.

WARNING: To reduce the possibility of an electric shock from the telephone network, plug your PC into the AC outlet before connecting it to the telephone line. Also, disconnect the telephone line before unplugging your PC from the AC power outlet.

WARNING: Your system is provided with a voltage select switch for use in a 115 or 230 VAC power system. The voltage select switch has been pre-set to the correct voltage setting for use in the particular country/region where it was initially sold. Changing the voltage select switch to the incorrect position can damage your PC and void any implied warranty.

WARNING: Always disconnect the modem cord from the telephone system before installing or removing your PC cover.

WARNING: Do not operate the PC with the cover removed.

WARNING: The power supply is not user-serviceable. To prevent damage to the power supply, have a qualified person repair or replace it. All other components are user-serviceable.

WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, add-in cards, and other components. If an ESD station is not available, wear a wrist strap attached to a metal part of the PC. Place cards on a conductive foam pad or inside the card wrapper, if possible, but never on the card wrapper.
