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.

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.
