Product safety policy and general practice
HP products operate safely when used according to their marked electrical ratings and product usage
instructions. They should always be used in accordance with the requirements of local and regional
building and wiring codes intended for the safe use of IT equipment.
The IEC 60950 standards provide general safety design requirements that reduce the risk of personal
injury to both the computer user and the service partner. These standards reduce the risk of injury
from the following hazards:
●
Electric shock
Hazardous voltage levels contained in parts of the product
●
Fire
Overloads, temperature, material flammability
●
Mechanical
Sharp edges, moving parts, instability
●
Energy
Circuits with high energy levels (240 volt amperes) or potential as burn hazards
●
Heat
Accessible parts of the product at high temperatures
●
Chemical
