To help avoid damaging a computer with a manual voltage selection

switch, ensure that the voltage selection switch is set to match the AC

power available at your location:
– 115 V/60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far

Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan

– 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japan

NOTE: The voltage selection switch must be set to the 115-V position even
though the AC power available in Japan is 100 V.

– 230 V/50 Hz in some regions in the Caribbean and South America

and most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East

Also, ensure that your monitor and attached devices are electrically rated

to operate with the AC power available in your location.

• Before working inside the computer, unplug the computer to help prevent

electric shock or system board damage. Certain system board components

continue to receive power any time the computer is connected to AC

power.

• To avoid shorting out your computer when disconnecting a network

cable, first unplug the cable from the network adapter on the back of your

computer, and then from the network jack. When reconnecting a network

cable to your computer, first plug the cable into the network jack, and

then into the network adapter.

• To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 seconds after

turning off the computer before disconnecting a device from the

computer.

• To help prevent electric shock, plug the computer and device power

cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are

equipped with 3-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use

adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must

use an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
