To prevent electric shock, connect the computer and peripheral
power cords into correctly grounded power sources. These cords are
equipped with three-prong plugs to ensure correct grounding.
•
Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a

with correctly grounded plugs.
•
To protect your computer system from sudden, transient increases
and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line

computer; do not place your computer in a closed-in wall unit or on
a rug.
