2.If the thin client is on:

a.Shut the unit down.

b.Turn the unit and any other attached devices off.

c.Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.

d.Disconnect any external devices or cables.

ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from electrical shock and/or hot surfaces, be sure to disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and allow the internal system components to cool before touching.

ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug telecommunications or telephone connectors into the network interface controller (NIC) receptacles.

Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. See Appendix C, “Electrostatic Discharge” for more information.
