Caution: General Precautions (Safety Precautions, continued)
Observe the following general precautions for using and working with your
system:
• Observe and follow service markings. Do not service any Dell™
product except as explained in your Dell system documentation.
Opening or removing covers that are marked with the triangular
symbol with a lightning bolt may expose you to electrical shock.
Components inside these compartments should be serviced only by a
Dell-authorized service technician.
• If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the
electrical outlet and replace the part or contact your Dell-authorized
service provider:
– The power cable, extension cable, or plug is damaged.
– An object has fallen into the product.
– The product has been exposed to water.
– The product has been dropped or damaged.
– The product does not operate correctly when you follow the
operating instructions.
• Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources.
Also, do not block cooling vents.
• Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never
operate the product in a wet environment. If the system gets wet, see
the appropriate chapter in your troubleshooting guide or contact a
Dell-authorized service provider.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your system
components. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out
interior components.
