Safety Precautions
Read and follow the content of the Safety Precautions carefully so that you will not cause
damages to yourself or the system.
1. Pay attention to the warnings and notes in this manual to avoid causing unexpected
damages.
2. If you want to wipe the system with a wet cloth, make sure the power cord is
disconnected. We strongly suggest not to wipe the system with chemical detergent or
sprayed detergent.
3. When moving the system, do not put the system on uneven, unsteady or slanting
surfaces.
4. Do not put water cups or beverages near the PC system to protect the system from
being damaged by liquids.
5. There are ventilating holes on the backboard of the computer case to dissipate heat
from the machine. You should pay attention to the position of the PC so that the
ventilating holes will not be blocked. Meanwhile, do not put your PC on something
not sturdy enough – like rug or bed mattress – to ensure smooth air flow for heat
dissipation.
6. Before plugging on power, make certain the electric voltage in your area complies
with that of the PC. If you are uncertain, consult your PC dealer or power company
first.
7. Do not place your PC on power cords. Do not leave the power lines in tangles which
may cause people to stumble.
8. It normally takes several power sockets to meet the need of a PC system. Make sure
the extension power line is capable of handling the total power load for all equipment.
In other words, the combined amperage of all electrical appliances on the same
2
extension line must not exceed the strength of electric currents or the fuse of the
extension line.
9. When your PC system runs into problems, do not try to fix it unless you possess
adequate technical know-how concerning hardware installation and system
maintenance. It would advisable to seek assistance from qualified maintenance
personnel so as to avoid improper disassembling.
10. When encountering the following more dangerous situations, unplug the power to
shut down the system and then seek help from professional technicians to fix the
problems:
* When liquids find their way into the equipment.
* When the PC is soaked by rain.
* When power cords or power sockets are damaged.
* When the PC system falls to the ground and is damaged.
* When some problems cannot be solved even after you installed the system according to
the manual or the troubleshooting procedures.
