DANGER
Electrical Shock
The MR system operates at high voltages that will shock or kill you if appropriate safety precautions are not taken. When performing any service in or around an MR system, always make sure you adhere to the following requirements.
If any of these requirements are unclear or in conflict, do not begin work or immediately stop work and contact your supervisor, this site safety officer, or your GE Healthcare service representative for guidance.
DANGER
Arc Flash
The MR system operates at high voltages that can cause arc flash. Arc flash can shock, burn, or kill you. When performing any service in or around a component with the potential for arc flash, always wear appropriate PPE.
Follow all electrical safety procedures in this manual, the MR service documentation, or any other applicable service manual.
Refer to the appropriate MR employee health and safety (EHS) or your equivalent employee electrical safety training for general information.
Understand and follow all site-specific electrical safety protocols.

GOC electrical hazards
CAUTION
Potential Component Damage
The cooling fan is OFF only when the workstation is OFF or the power cable is disconnected. The cooling fan is always ON when the workstation is ON or in Standby mode.
Disconnect the power cord from the power source before opening the workstation.
Accumulated electrostatic charge can build up and discharge, causing damage to computer components.
Prevent damage to components by following Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions:
Work on a static-free mat.
Wear a static strap to make sure that any accumulated electrostatic charge is discharged from your body to the ground.
Create a common ground for the equipment you are working on by connecting the static-free mat, static strap, and peripheral units to that piece of equipment.
For more information on ESD protection, see MR Service Safety Manual (5452735).
