Moving your computer
Take the following precautions before moving your computer.
1.
Remove all media (diskettes, compact discs, tapes, and so on) from the
drives.
2.
Turn off the computer and all attached devices. Your hard disk drive
automatically parks the read/write heads to prevent damage to the hard
disk.
3.
Unplug the power cords from electrical outlets.
4.
Disconnect communication cables, such as modem or network cables, from
the phone line or network first, and then disconnect the other ends of
cables from the computer.
5.
Disconnect all cables connecting external devices such as a keyboard,
mouse, printer, scanner, and joystick.
6.
If you are moving the computer just a short distance (to the next room, for
example) you can leave the keyboard and mouse connected. Slide the
keyboard under the display on the base and lift the computer as shown.
7.
If you are moving your computer other than a short distance and you
saved the original shipping cartons and packing materials, use them to
pack the units. If you are using different cartons, cushion the units to avoid
damage.
