6DIHW\ ,QVWUXFWLRQV Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer system from potential damage and to ensure your own personal safety. :KHQ 8VLQJ
Do not spill food or liquids on your computer. If the computer gets wet, consult your Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide. Do not push any objects into the openings of your computer. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components. Keep your computer away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your computer; do not place your computer in a closed-in wall unit or on a bed, sofa, or rug.

In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate: When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins.

After a setup password is assigned, only those who know the password have full use of the System Setup program.
If System Password is not enabled and is not locked via the Password Status category, you can assign a system password (however, you cannot disable or change an existing system password).
