Solving general problems

You may be able to easily resolve the general problems described in this section. If a problem persists

and you are unable to resolve it yourself or if you feel uncomfortable about performing the operation,

contact an authorized dealer or reseller.

WARNING!

When the workstation is plugged into an AC power source, voltage is always applied to

the system board. To reduce the risk of personal injury from electrical shock and/or hot surfaces, be sure

to disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and allow the internal system components to cool before

touching.

Look for the LED on the system board. If the LED is illuminated, the system still has power. Power off the

workstation and remove the power cord before proceeding.
