Taking the notebook home
Follow these tips when you are moving your notebook from one location to
another, for example from your office to your home.
Preparing your notebook
To prepare your notebook for transport:
1
Remove all media from the drives. Failure to remove the media can damage
the drive.
2
Shut down Windows and turn off your notebook.
3
Pack your notebook in a protective case that can prevent your notebook
from sliding around and cushion it if it should fall.
What to bring with you
Unless you already have some items at home, bring the AC adapter and power
cord with you.
Warning Avoid packing items next to the top cover of your notebook.
Pressure against the top cover could damage the screen.
