WARNING! To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to your
equipment:
• Place the computer in a location away from water, dust, moisture, and soot.
These can increase the inside temperature, or can cause fire or electrocution.

important safety feature.
• Plug the power cord in a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at
all times.
• Disconnect power from the equipment by unplugging the power cord from the
electrical outlet. To prevent direct exposure to laser beam, do not try to open the
enclosure of the CD or DVD drives.
