Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard,

ensure that all power cables are unplugged.

•

Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord.

These devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.

•

Make sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your

area. If you are not sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you

are using, contact your local power company.

•

If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a

qualified service technician or your retailer.
