Safety Information

To ensure your personal safety and the safety of your equipment:

• Keep your work area and the computer clean and clear of debris.

• Before opening the system cabinet, unplug the power cord.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)

CAUTION: ESD can damage electronic components when they are improperly handled, and can result in total or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD-

prevention procedures when removing and replacing components.

To prevent ESD damage:

• Use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes skin contact. Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unpainted metal surface on the
chassis.

• Avoid touching the controller against your clothing. The wrist strap protects components from ESD on the body only.

• Handle the controller by its bracket or edges only. Avoid touching the printed circuit board or the connectors.

• Put the controller down only on an antistatic surface.
