CAUTION: Safety Instructions Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your computer and working environment from potential damage. General • Do not attempt to service the computer yourself unless you are a trained service technician. Always follow installation instructions closely.

CAUTION: Safety Instructions (continued) • To help protect your computer from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS). • Ensure that nothing rests on your computer’s cables and that the cables are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to service the computer yourself, except as explained in your online Dell™ documentation or in instructions otherwise provided to you by Dell. Always follow installation and service instructions closely.
When Using Your Computer (continued) Perform an orderly computer shutdown using the operating system menu. Turn off your computer and any devices connected to the computer. Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis, such as the metal at the back of the computer, before touching anything inside your computer.
When Using Your Computer (continued) You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD): • Do not remove components from their antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in your computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, discharge static electricity from your body.
