Warning! Always disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you are

working on it. Do not connect while the power is on. A sudden rush of
power can damage sensitive electronic components. Only experienced
electronics personnel should open the chassis.

Warning! Toujours à la terre pour éliminer toute charge d'électricité statique avant

toucher AMAX-5580. Appareils électroniques modernes sont très sensi­bles à charges d'électricité statique. Utilisez un bracelet antistatique à
tout moment. Placez tous composants électroniques sur une surface
antistatique ou dans un statique-sac blindé.

Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static electric charge before

touching AMAX-5580. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to
static electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all
electronic components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static­shielded bag.

Caution! Toujours débrancher le cordon d'alimentation de votre boîtier lorsque

vous êtes travailler. Ne branchez pas lorsque l'appareil est allumé. Un
afflux soudain de puissance peut endommager les composants électro­niques sensibles. Seulement connu personnel de l'électronique
