Safety Precautions

Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions.

1. User should not modify any unmentioned jumper setting without Axiomtek FAE’s
instruction. Any modification without instructions might damage the system.

2. The tBOX400-510-FL does not come equipped with an operating system. An
operating system must be loaded first before installing any software into the
computer.

3. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing the internal
components. Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in any
static-shielded devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to static electrical
charge.

4. Disconnect the power cord from the tBOX400-510-FL before making any installation.
Be sure both the system and the external devices are turned OFF. Sudden surge of
power could ruin sensitive components. Make sure the tBOX400-510-FL is properly
grounded.

5. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the
equipment to the power outlet.

6. Turn OFF the system power before cleaning. Clean the system using a cloth only.
Do not spray any liquid cleaner directly onto the screen.

7. Do not leave this equipment in an uncontrolled environment where the storage
temperature is below -40°C or above 85°C. It may damage the equipment.

8. Do not open the system’s back cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must,
only a trained technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards
are sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic
discharge, observe the following precautions:

 Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the

system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to discharge any static
electricity on a human body.

 When handling boards and components, wear a grounding wrist strap, available

from most electronic component stores.

General Cleaning Tips

You may need the following precautions before you begin to clean the computer. When you
clean any single part or component for the computer, please read and understand the details
below fully.

When you need to clean the device, please rub it with a piece of dry cloth.

1. Be cautious of the tiny removable components when you use a vacuum cleaner to

absorb the dirt on the floor.

2. Turn the system off before you start to clean up the component or computer.

3. Never drop the components inside the computer or get circuit board damp or wet.

4. Be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals when you use it for the

sake of cleaning. Some individuals may be allergic to the ingredients.

5. Try not to put any food, drink or cigarette around the computer.

v

Cleaning Tools:

Although many companies have created products to help improve the process of cleaning
your computer and peripherals users can also use household items to clean their computers
and peripherals. Below is a listing of items you may need or want to use while cleaning your
computer or computer peripherals.

Keep in mind that some components in your computer may only be cleaned using a product
designed for cleaning the same types of components. Please read the instructions that come
with a cleaning product to avoid misusage.

 Cloth: A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up a component. Although

paper towels or tissues can be used on most hardware as well, we still recommend
using a piece of cloth to rub hardware parts.

 Water or rubbing alcohol: You may moisten a piece of cloth a bit with some water or

rubbing alcohol and rub it on the computer. Unknown solvents may be harmful to the
plastics parts.

 Vacuum cleaner: Using a vacuum cleaner to suck dust, dirt, hair, cigarette particles, and

other particles out of a computer can be one of the best methods of cleaning a
computer. Over time these items can restrict the airflow in a computer and cause the
circuitry to corrode.

 Cotton swabs: Cotton swabs moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are excellent tools

for wiping hard-to-reach areas in your keyboard, mouse, and other locations.

 Foam swabs: Whenever possible it is better to use lint-free swabs such as foam swabs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that you should shut down the system before you start to

clean any single component.

Please follow the steps below:

1. Close all application programs.

2. Close operating software.

3. Turn off power switch.

4. Remove all devices.

5. Pull out the power cable.

Scrap Computer Recycling

Please inform the nearest Axiomtek distributor as soon as possible for suitable solutions in
case computers require maintenance or repair; or for recycling in case computers are out of
order or no longer in use.
