Safety, Maintenance, and Ergonomics 85
Protecting Your Optical Drive
To keep your optical drive working properly:
m In an emergency, you can eject a disc by holding in the power button as the system
starts up.
m Do not wipe the lens with a paper towel or other abrasive surface. If you need to clean
the lens, see an Apple-authorized service provider for a lens cleaner.
You may want to take out your disc before shutting down.
Power Supply
The power supply in your computer is a high-voltage component and should not be opened
for any reason, even when the computer is off. If the power supply needs service, contact
your Apple-authorized dealer or service provider.
Cleaning Your Equipment
Follow these general rules when cleaning the outside of your server:
m Use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the computer’s exterior. Avoid getting moisture
in any openings.
m Don’t use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives.
Cleaning the Server’s Case
To clean the case, do the following:
1 Turn off the computer completely and then disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug, not
the cord.)
2 Wipe the surfaces lightly with a clean, soft cloth dampened with water.
