Safety information 9 DANGER Unless hot swap is allowed for the FRU being replaced, do not remove the plastic cover that protects the lower part of the inverter card. DANGER To avoid shock, do as follows before removing it: power off the computer, unplug all power cords from electrical outlets, remove the battery pack, and disconnect any interconnecting cables. DANGER Though the main batteries have low voltage, a shorted or grounded battery can produce enough current to burn personnel or combustible materials.
