Precautions for portable computer products
In addition to the general precautions described earlier, be sure to observe the following precautions
when operating a portable computer product. Failure to observe these precautions could result in fire,
bodily injury, and damage to the equipment.
WARNING! To reduce the possibility of heat-related injuries or of overheating the computer, do not
place the computer directly on your lap or obstruct the computer air vents. Use the computer only on
a hard, flat surface. Do not allow another hard surface, such as an adjoining optional printer, or a soft
surface, such as pillows or rugs or clothing, to block airflow. Also, do not allow the AC adapter to
contact the skin or a soft surface, such as pillows or rugs or clothing, during operation. The computer
and the AC adapter comply with the user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by the
International Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment (IEC 60950).
Monitor support cover
Do not place a monitor with an unstable base or a monitor heavier than the marked weight rating on
top of a monitor support cover or stand. Heavier monitors should be placed on a work surface next to
the docking base.
Rechargeable battery pack
Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate the battery pack or short the metal contacts. In addition, do not
attempt to open or service the battery pack.
Docking base
To avoid pinching your fingers, do not touch the rear of the computer when docking it into a base.
Precautions for server and network products
In addition to the general precautions described earlier, be sure to observe the following precautions
when operating server and network products. Failure to observe these precautions could result in fire,
bodily injury, and damage to the equipment.
Safety interlocks and enclosures
To prevent access to areas containing hazardous energy levels, some servers are provided with
safety interlocks that disable the power supply when the enclosure cover is removed. For servers
provided with safety interlocks, observe the following precautions:
●
Do not remove enclosure covers or attempt to defeat the safety interlocks.
●
Do not attempt to repair accessories and options inside interlocked areas of the system while
operating. Repair should be performed only by individuals who are qualified in servicing
computer equipment and trained to deal with products capable of producing hazardous energy
levels.
Accessories and options
Installation of accessories and options in safety interlocked areas should performed only by
individuals who are qualified in servicing computer equipment and trained to deal with products
capable of producing hazardous energy levels.
