System Care
Moving Your System
Perform the following steps before shipping or moving the system:
1. Back up all files stored on the hard disk drive.
2. Turn off the external peripherals, the system, and the monitor.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and from the back of the system unit.
4. Disconnect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and any other cables from the back of the
system unit.
5. Package the system as described in the next section, Packing Your System.
Packing Your System
If you are moving the system a short distance (for example, from one room to another in
the same building), you do not have to pack it. If you are shipping the system or moving it
by vehicle, pack it to avoid damage.
Pack the system in the original packing material and containers. If you did not save the
boxes and packing material, use a sturdy carton and cushion the computer well to avoid
damage.
Installing Your System at a New Location
After moving the system to a new location, follow the installation instructions on the
installation information to unpack and install it.
