Transporting the computer
Use common sense when handling the computer. Hard disks in
particular can be damaged if the computer is dropped or handled
roughly. As a precaution, back up your data from the hard disks to
tape or floppy disks before moving the computer. (See the Hard disk
section of the chapter
‘System drives’
).
Do not
try to move the computer while it is plugged into the AC
power supply or with any other cables, network, printer etc., still
attached.
When lifting and carrying the computer, grip the metal underside of
the system unit.
Do not
lift the unit by the plastic side trims or the
front bezel.
Never
attempt to use the door as a carrying handle.
Never
attempt to lift the system unit with a monitor on top.
Do not
leave floppy disks or CDs in the drives while moving the
system as irreparable damage could occur to either drives or disks.
If you need to transport the computer any great distance, use the
original packing materials.
Warning
If you intend to use the computer in another country, read the information in
the
Power Connection Guide
before doing anything else.
