Routine Computer Care and Shipping Preparation
Shipping Preparation
Follow these suggestions when preparing to ship the computer:
1. Back up the hard drive files on PD discs, tape cartridges, CDs, or diskettes. Be
sure that the backup media is not exposed to electrical or magnetic impulses
while stored or in transit.
The hard drive locks automatically when the system power is turned off.
2. Remove and store any program diskettes from the diskette drives.
3. Insert a blank diskette into the diskette drive to protect the drive while in transit.
Do not use a diskette on which you have stored or plan to store data.
4. Turn off the computer and external devices.
5. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, then from the computer.
6. Disconnect the system components and external devices from their power
sources, then from the computer.
Ensure that all boards are seated properly and secured in the board slots before
shipping the computer.
7. Pack the system components and external devices in their original packing boxes
or similar packaging with sufficient packing material to protect them.
