    Study Notes

    • Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS or SDS) provide information on how to properly dispose of hazardous components in devices like batteries and toner cartridges.
    • Required by OSHA in the US, and may also be called Safety Data Sheets in other regions.
    • Contains product information, composition and ingredients, and hazards associated with the item, along with first aid measures.
    • Toner cartridges and batteries are examples of hazardous waste that should be disposed of at local hazardous waste facilities.
    • Some manufacturers offer recycling programs for toner cartridges.
    • Temperature and humidity are important factors for storing electronic equipment. Recommended humidity level is 50% and lower.
    • Computing devices generate heat and need to be in a cooled environment to prevent damage.
    • UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is a power source that keeps systems running during power outages.
    • Different types of UPS systems include standby, line interactive, and online.
    • UPS features may include automatic shutdown, battery capacity, number of outlets, and phone or network suppression.
    • Surge suppressors provide protection against power spikes and voltage fluctuations.
    • Differences in surge suppressors include the amount of voltage absorption and the number of amps they can support.
    • Recommended minimum surge suppressor absorption is 600 joules and a larger amp rating for better protection.
