Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer system from potential damage and to ensure your own personal safety. As you use your computer system, observe the following safety guidelines: Be sure your computer, monitor and attached peripherals are electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location. To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 seconds after turning off the system before removing a component from the system board or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer. To help prevent electric shock, plug the computer and peripheral power cables into properly grounded power sources. These cables are equipped with threeprong 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 three-wire cable with properly grounded plugs. To help 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's cables and that the cables are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over. Do not spill food or liquids on your computer. If the computer gets wet, consult Chapter 7, "Checking Inside Your Computer." 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. v
