Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer system
from potential damage and to ensure your own personal safety.
Note: Use the MegaRAID SAS RAID Controllers with UL-listed
Information Technology Equipment (ITE) products only.
When Using Your Computer System – As you use your computer
system, observe the following safety guidelines:
Caution: Do not operate your computer system with any covers
(such as computer covers, bezels, filler brackets, and
front-panel inserts) removed.
•
To avoid damaging your computer, make sure that the voltage
selection switch on the power supply is set to match the alternating
current (AC) power available at your location:
– 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North America and South
America, and some Far Eastern countries such as Japan, South
Korea, and Taiwan.
– 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.
Also be sure your monitor and attached peripherals are electrically
rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.
•
To avoid possible damage to the system board, wait five seconds after
you turn off the system before you remove a component from the
system board or disconnect a peripheral device from the computer.
•
To prevent electric shock, plug the computer and peripheral power
cables into properly grounded power sources. These cables are
equipped with three-prong plugs to 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 three-wire cable
with properly grounded plugs.
•
To protect your computer system from sudden, transient increases
and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line
conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
•
Be sure nothing rests on your computer system cables and that the
cables are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
