Hazardous Voltage
There is hazardous voltage present inside the
notebook when it is connected to an AC supply,
even when the notebook’s power switch is off.
Exposure to hazardous voltage could cause
personal injury. To avoid risk of injury, contact an
Authoriz ed Service Provider for proper
(un)installation o f opti onal hardware devices.
Avoid Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic electricity can easily damage circuit
cards and integrated circuits (ICs). To reduce risk
of damage , store them in pr otective packaging
whenever they are not installed in the system.
Add-in cards can be extr emely sensiti ve to ESD
and always require careful handling. After
removing the card from the notebook, place the
card flat on a grounded, static-free surface,
component-side up. Use a conductive foam pad if
available, but not the card wrapper. Do not slide
the card over any surface.
Before you install or remove memory modules,
video memory, disk drives, circuit cards or other
devices, protect them from static electricity. To do
so, make sure the notebook’s power switch is
OFF. Then, unplug th e notebook’s AC power cord.
Before picking up the device you (un)install, you
should wear an anti-static wrist wrap (availabl e at
electronic supply stores). Be sure to connect the
wrist wrap to an unpainted metal portion of the
notebook casing. As an alternative, you can
dissipa te el ectrostatic bui ld-up by touchi n g an
unpainted metal portion of the notebook casing
with one hand. Then touch the device you are
(un)installing with the other hand, and maintain
continuous contact with it until it is (un)installed in
the notebook.
WARNING
Ensure that the notebook is disconnected
from its power source an d from all
telecomm unications lin ks , networks, or
modem lines whenever the casing cover
is removed. Do not operate the notebook
with the cover removed.

capot est enlevé.
WARNUNG
Das System darf weder an eine
Stromq uelle angeschlossen sein noch
eine Verbindung mit einer
Telekommunikatio nseinrichtung, einem
Netzwerk oder einer Modem-Leitung
haben, wenn die Gehäuseabdeckung
entfernt wird. Nehmen Sie das System
nicht oh ne die Abdeckung in Betr ieb.
ADVERTENCIA
Asegúrese de que cada v ez que se quite
la cubierta del portátil, el sistema haya
sido desconectado de la red de
alimentación y de todos lo enlaces de

naar de notebook (stroom, modem,
netwerk, etc) verbroken worden voordat
de behuizing geopend wordt. Zet de
notebook nooit aan als de behuizing
geopend is.
