Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer system 
from potential damage and to ensure your own personal safety.
Note:
Use the MegaRAID 6Gb/s SAS RAID controllers 
with UL-listed Information Technology Equipment (ITE) 
products only.
When Using Your Computer System – As you use your computer 
system, observe the following safety guidelines:
Caution:
Do not operate your computer system with any covers 
(such as computer covers, bezels, filler brackets, and 
front-panel inserts) removed.
• To avoid damaging your computer, make sure that the voltage 
selection switch on the power supply is set to match the alternating 
current (AC) power available at your location:
– 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North American and South 
American countries, and some Asian countries, such as Japan, 
South Korea, and Taiwan.
– 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Also 
make sure that your monitor and attached peripherals are 
electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your 
location.
• To avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 seconds after 
you turn off the system before you remove a component from the 
system board or disconnect a peripheral device from the computer.
• To prevent electric shock, connect the computer and peripheral 
power cords into correctly grounded power sources. These cords are 
equipped with three-prong plugs to ensure correct grounding. 
• Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a 
cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a three-wire cable 
with correctly grounded plugs.
• To protect your computer system from sudden, transient increases 
and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line 
conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
