Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer system
from potential damage and to ensure your own personal safety.
Note: Use the MegaRAID 6Gb/s SAS RAID controllers
with UL-listed Information Technology Equipment (ITE)
products only.
When Using Your Computer System – As you use your computer
system, observe the following safety guidelines:
Caution: Do not operate your computer system with any covers
(such as computer covers, bezels, filler brackets, and
front-panel inserts) removed.
•To avoid damaging your computer, make sure that the voltage
selection switch on the power supply is set to match the alternating
current (AC) power available at your location:
– 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North American and South
American countries, and some Asian countries, such as Japan,
South Korea, and Taiwan.
– 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Also
make sure that your monitor and attached peripherals are
electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your
location.
•To avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 seconds after
you turn off the system before you remove a component from the
system board or disconnect a peripheral device from the computer.
•To prevent electric shock, connect the computer and peripheral
power cords into correctly grounded power sources. These cords are
equipped with three-prong plugs to ensure correct grounding.
•Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a
cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a three-wire cable
with correctly grounded plugs.
•To protect your computer system from sudden, transient increases
and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line
conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
