Hazardous Voltage

There is hazardous voltage present inside the notebook when it is connected to an AC supply, even when the notebook’s power switch is off. Exposure to hazardous voltage could cause personal injury. To avoid risk of injury, contact an Authorized Service Provider for proper (un)installation of optional hardware devices.

Avoid Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic electricity can easily damage circuit cards and integrated circuits (ICs). To reduce risk of damage, store them in protective packaging whenever they are not installed in the system.

Add-in cards can be extremely sensitive to ESD and always require careful handling. After removing the card from the notebook, place the card flat on a grounded, static-free surface, component-side up. Use a conductive foam pad if available, but not the card wrapper. Do not slide the card over any surface.

Before you install or remove memory modules, video memory, disk drives, circuit cards or other devices, protect them from static electricity. To do so, make sure the notebook’s power switch is OFF. Then, unplug the notebook’s AC power cord. Before picking up the device you (un)install, you should wear an anti-static wrist wrap (available at electronic supply stores). Be sure to connect the wrist wrap to an unpainted metal portion of the notebook casing. As an alternative, you can dissipate electrostatic build-up by touching an unpainted metal portion of the notebook casing with one hand. Then touch the device you are (un)installing with the other hand, and maintain continuous contact with it until it is (un)installed in the notebook.

Power Supply Unit

Under no circumstances should you attempt to disassemble the power supply. The power supply contains no user-serviceable parts. Inside the power supply are hazardous voltages that can cause serious personal injury. Always return a defective power supply to the dealer.

WARNING

Ensure that the notebook is disconnected from its power source and from all telecommunications links, networks, or modem lines whenever the casing cover is removed. Do not operate the notebook with the cover removed.

AVERTISSEMENT Assurez-vous que le système est débranché de son alimentation ainsi que de toutes les liaisons de télécommunication, des réseaux, et des lignes de modem avant d’enlever le capot. Ne pas utiliser le système quand le capot est enlevé.

WARNUNG

Das System darf weder an eine Stromquelle angeschlossen sein noch eine Verbindung mit einer Telekommunikationseinrichtung, einem Netzwerk oder einer Modem-Leitung haben, wenn die Gehäuseabdeckung entfernt wird. Nehmen Sie das System nicht ohne die Abdeckung in Betrieb.

ADVERTENCIA

Asegúrese de que cada vez que se quite la cubierta del portátil, el sistema haya sido desconectado de la red de alimentación y de todos lo enlaces de telecomunicaciones, de red y de líneas de módem. No ponga en funcionamiento el sistema mientras la cubierta esté quitada.

WAARSCHUWING

Zorg er voor dat alle verbindingen van en naar de notebook (stroom, modem, netwerk, etc) verbroken worden voordat de behuizing geopend wordt. Zet de notebook nooit aan als de behuizing geopend is.

AVVERTENZA

Prima di rimuovere il coperchio del telaio, assicurarsi che il sistema sia scollegato dall’alimentazione, da tutti i collegamenti di comunicazione, reti o linee di modem. Non avviare il sistema senza aver prima messo a posto il coperchio.
