NOTICE:

In order to install a fifth SATA hard drive in one of the 5.25-inch drive bays,

CAUTION:

Your computer is heavy (it has an approximate minimum weight of 55

injury; avoid bending over while lifting. See your

Product Information Guide for

other important safety information.

CAUTION:

The computer stand should be installed at all times to ensure

maximum system stability. Failure to install the stand could result in the computer
tipping over, potentially resulting in bodily injury or damage to the computer.
