Dell 7500 manual Ergonomic Computing Habits

•When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

•Handle components with care. Hold a component such as a memory module by its edges, not its pins.

•When removing a memory module from the system board or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer, wait 5 seconds after turning off the computer before removing the memory module or disconnecting the device to help avoid possible damage to the system board.

•Before you clean your computer, turn it off, unplug it from its power source, and remove the battery pack(s).

•Clean your computer and display with a soft cloth dampened with water rather than with liquid or aerosol cleaners.

•If your computer gets wet or is damaged, follow the procedures described in Chapter 3, “Basic Troubleshooting.” If, after following these procedures, you confirm that your computer is not operating properly, contact Dell Computer Corporation. (See Chapter 5, “Getting Help,” for the appropriate telephone number.)
