•
Carefully look for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension
cords, and missing safety grounds.
•
Operate the device within marked electrical ratings and product usage instructions.
•
To ensure that the device and peripheral equipment function safely and correctly, use the cables and
connectors specified for the attached peripheral equipment, and make certain they are in good condition.
You can remove and replace many device components without powering off or disconnecting power to
the device, as detailed elsewhere in the hardware documentation for this device. Never install equipment
that appears to be damaged.
Action to Take After an Electrical Accident
If an electrical accident results in an injury, take the following actions in this order:
1. Use caution. Be aware of potentially hazardous conditions that could cause further injury.
2. Disconnect power from the device.
3. If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the condition of the victim, then
call for help.
Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Device components that are shipped in antistatic bags are sensitive to damage from static electricity. Some
components can be impaired by voltages as low as 30 V. You can easily generate potentially damaging
static voltages whenever you handle plastic or foam packing material or if you move components across
plastic or carpets. Observe the following guidelines to minimize the potential for electrostatic discharge
(ESD) damage, which can cause intermittent or complete component failures:
