AC Power Safety Warnings
The power supply is pre-
set for the country/region
in which you purchased
the PC. If you move to
another country/region,
please make sure you
check its voltage
requirements before
plugging your PC into
an AC power outlet.
Install the computer near
an AC outlet. The AC
power cord is your PC’s
main AC disconnecting
device and must be easily
accessible at all times.
For your safety, the power
cord provided with your
system has a grounded
plug. Always use the
power cord with a
properly grounded wall
outlet to avoid the risk of
electrical shock.
To reduce the possibility of
an electric shock from the
telephone network, plug
your computer into the AC
outlet before connecting it
to the telephone line. Also,
disconnect the telephone
line before unplugging
your computer from the
AC power outlet.
Your system is provided
with a voltage select
switch for use in a 115 or
230 VAC power system.
The voltage select switch
has been pre-set to the
correct voltage setting
for use in the particular
country/region where it
was initially sold.
Electrostatic discharge
(ESD) can damage disk
drives, add-in cards,
and other components.
If an ESD station is not
available, wear a wrist
strap attached to a metal
part of the computer. Place
cards on a conductive
foam pad or inside the
card wrapper, if possible,
but never on the card
wrapper.
The PC is heavy; be sure
to use ergonomically
correct lifting procedures
when moving the
computer.
