The precautions outlined in this chapter should be strictly followed.
Failure to follow these precautions may result in permanent damage to
the MPE series.
A.1 Safety Precautions
Please follow the safety precautions outlined in the sections that follow:
A.1.1 General Safety Precautions
Please ensure the following safety precautions are adhered to at all times.
Follow the electrostatic precautions outlined below whenever the MPE
series is opened.
Make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected
whenever the MPE series is being installed, moved or modified.
Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range.
Doing so may cause fire and/or an electrical shock.
Electric shocks can occur if the MPE series chassis is opened when the
MPE series is running.
Do not drop or insert any objects into the ventilation openings of the MPE
series.
If considerable amounts of dust, water, or fluids enter the MPE series,
turn off the power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact

A.1.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the MPE
series may result in permanent damage to the MPE series and severe
injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the MPE series. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the MPE series is opened and any of the electrical components are
handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging any electrical component.
Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any
grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component is
handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the
ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical
component, place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD
damage.
Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the
electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.
A.2 Maintenance and Cleaning Precautions
When maintaining or cleaning the MPE series, please follow the guidelines below.
A.2.1 Maintenance and Cleaning
Prior to cleaning any part or component of the MPE series, please read the details below.
Except for the LCD panel, never spray or squirt liquids directly onto any other
components. To clean the LCD panel, gently wipe it with a piece of soft dry
cloth or a slightly moistened cloth.
The interior of the MPE series does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away
from the MPE series interior.
Be cautious of all small removable components when vacuuming the MPE
series.
Turn the MPE series off before cleaning the MPE series.
Never drop any objects or liquids through the openings of the MPE series.
Be cautious of any possible allergic reactions to solvents or chemicals used
when cleaning the MPE series.
Avoid eating, drinking and smoking within vicinity of the MPE series.
A.2.2 Cleaning Tools
Some components in the MPE series may only be cleaned using a product specifically
designed for the purpose. In such case, the product will be explicitly mentioned in the
cleaning tips. Below is a list of items to use when cleaning the MPE series.
Cloth – Although paper towels or tissues can be used, a sof t, clean piece of
cloth is recommended when cleaning the MPE series.
Water or rubbing alcohol – A cloth moistened with water or rubbing alcohol
can be used to clean the MPE series.
Using solvents – The use of solvents is not recommended when cleaning the
MPE series as they may damage the plastic parts.
Vacuum cleaner – Using a vacuum specifically designed for computers is one
of the best methods of cleaning the MPE series. Dust and dirt can restrict the
airflow in the MPE series and cause its circuitry to corrode.
Cotton swabs - Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are
excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas.
Foam swabs - Whenever possible, it is best to use lint free swabs such as
foam swabs for cleaning.
