WARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by Compaq should attempt to repair this equipment. All troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to allow only subassembly/module level repair. Because of the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, no one should attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. Any indication of component replacement or printed wiring board modifications may void any warranty or exchange allowances.

WARNING: The computer is designed to be electrically grounded. To ensure proper operation, plug the AC power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet only.

CAUTION: To properly ventilate your system, you must provide at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance on the front and back of the computer.
