Preparing the computer
After disconnecting the computer from your desktop, follow these steps to
prepare the computer for the trip home:
1. Remove all media from the drives. Failure to remove the media can
damage the drive head.
2. Pack the computer in a protective case that can prevent the computer
from sliding around and cushion it if it should fall.
Caution:
Avoid packing items next to the top cover of the computer.
Pressure against the top cover could damage the screen.
What to bring with you
Unless you already have some items at home, bring the following items
with you:
•
AC adapter and power cord
• The printed user manual
Special considerations
Follow these guidelines to protect your computer while traveling to and
from work:
•
Minimize the effect of temperature changes by keeping the computer
with you.
• If you need to stop for an extended period of time and cannot bring the
computer with you, leave the computer in the trunk of the car to avoid
exposing the computer to excessive heat.
• Changes in temperature and humidity can cause condensation. Allow
the computer to return to room temperature, and inspect the screen for
condensation before turning on the computer. If the temperature
change is greater than 18°F (10°C), allow the computer to come to
room temperature slowly. If possible, leave the computer for 30
minutes in an environment with a temperature between outside and
room temperature.
