Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from damage.
¢ To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis before you work
on it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other cards while the PC is on.
¢ Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush of power as you
connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive electronic components.

Introduction Power Sources
2.3.2 LEDs
There are two light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the front face of the device:
•Power Indicator LED—this device uses three colors to show the batteryand power status as
follows:
–Green indicates a either a battery with a full, or nearly full, charge or DC power
–Orange indicates a battery that is charging. An orange LED that fades on and off at three
second intervals indicates the unit is in standby mode.
–Red indicates a low battery (15% of capacity or less).
•Hard Drive Activity LED—illuminates when the central processing unit (CPU) is reading or
writing to the hard disk drive (HDD).
2.3.3 The Stand
The built-in stand extends from the back of the unit to allow hands-free viewing. The stand clips
