•
Do not spill food or liquids on your computer. If the computer gets
wet, consult the documentation that came with it.
•
Do not push any objects into the openings of your computer. Doing so
can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
•
Keep your computer away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do
not block cooling vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your
computer; do not place your computer in a closed-in wall unit or on
a rug.
When Working Inside Your Computer –
Caution: Do not attempt to service the computer system yourself,
except as explained in this guide and elsewhere in
LSI Logic documentation. Always follow installation and
service instructions closely.
1. Turn off your computer and any peripherals.
2. Disconnect your computer and peripherals from their power sources.
Also disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from
the computer.
Performing these actions reduces the potential for personal injury or
shock.
Also note these safety guidelines:
•
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its
strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a
connector with locking tabs. If you are disconnecting this type of
cable, press in on the locking tabs before you disconnect the cable.
As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid
bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make
sure that both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
•
Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the
components or contacts on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its
metal mounting bracket. Hold a component, such as a
microprocessor chip, by its edges, not by its pins.
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge – Static electricity can
harm delicate components inside your computer. To prevent static
damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any
of your computer’s electronic components, such as the microprocessor.
