Normal shipping and handling can cause loss of data from a hard
disk. If your server has a hard disk drive, take the following
precautions:
1. Back up all files and data from the hard disk.
Operating systems can vary in the way they perform backup
procedures. Some operating systems save only data files, while
others make copies of application program files and data files.
Refer to your operating system documentation for information
about software backup.
2. Remove all media (diskettes, compact discs, tapes, and so on)
from the drives.
3. Turn the server and all attached devices off. Your hard disk
drive automatically parks the read/write heads in a nondata
area. This process prevents damage to the hard disk.
4. Unplug the power cords from electrical outlets.
5. Note where you have attached your cables to the rear of the
server; then remove them.

CAUTION:
Use safe practices when lifting.
6. If 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 any damage.
