CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.

CAUTION: To guard against electrical shock, always unplug your computer from the electrical outlet before removing the cover.

NOTICE: To prevent static damage to components inside your computer, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer’s electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer.

Attaching the Computer Stand

CAUTION: Your computer is heavy (it has an approximate minimum weight of 55 lbs) and can be difficult to maneuver. Seek assistance before attempting to lift, move, or tilt it; this computer requires a two-man lift. Always lift correctly to avoid injury; avoid bending over while lifting. See your Product Information Guide for other important safety information.

CAUTION: The computer stand should be installed at all times to ensure maximum system stability. Failure to install the stand could result in the computer tipping over, potentially resulting in bodily injury or damage to the computer.

1Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" in the User’s Guide.

2If you have installed a security cable, remove it from the security cable slot.

3Set the stand on the ground in front of the computer, so that the front and the back of the stand touch the ground.

If the front and the back of the stand point up toward the ceiling, the stand is upside down.

4Ensure that the alignment guide faces the computer.

If the alignment guide points away from the computer, the stand is backwards.
