Safety and regulatory information ✏ NOTE The service procedures are designed to help you isolate problems. They are written with the assumption that you have model-specific training on all computers, or that you are familiar with the computers, functions, terminology, and service information provided in this manual. Important Safety Instructions Read all caution and safety statements in this document before performing any of the instructions.
General Safety Follow these rules to ensure general safety: • Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after maintenance. • When lifting any heavy object: 1. Ensure you can stand safely without slipping. 2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet. 3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly, or twist,when you attempt to lift. 4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with you leg muscles; this action removes the strain from the muscles in your back.
• • • • • • • • • • • • — Performing a mechanical inspection — Working near power supplies — Removing or installing main units Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the power cord. If you cannot unplug it, ask the customer to power-off the wall box (that supplies power to the machine) and to lock the wall box in the off position.
• Use the black side of a grounded work mat to provide a static-free work surface. The mat is especially useful when handling ESD-sensitive devices. Select a grounding system, such as those in the following list, to provide protection that meets the specific service requirement. — Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire ground. — Use an ESD common ground or reference point when working on a double-insulated or batteryoperated system.
xx CAUTION: If your system has a module containing a lithium battery, replace it only with the same or an equivalent type battery recommended by the manufacturer. If your system has a module containing a lithium battery, replace it only with the same module type made by the same manufacturer. The battery contains lithium and can explode if not properly used, handled, or disposed of.
xx CAUTION: The power control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not turn off the electrical current supplied to the device. The device also might have more than one power cord. To remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source. 2 1 xx CAUTION: Do not place any object weighing more than 82 kg (180 lbs.) on top of rack-mounted devices. xx CAUTION: Do not place any object weighing more then 82 kg (180lbs.

Handling static-sensitive devices Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep staticsensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them. To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions: • Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you. • Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
