Moving your system
Transporting the system unit
1. Before transporting the system unit, you should back up all data on the hard disk,
as data may be lost as a result of shock or vibration during transport. Refer to the
System Administration manual [5] for information on backing up data.
2. Shut down the system and switch off the system unit.
3. Remove all floppy disks and tape cartridges from the drives, and place the
cardboard insert into the floppy disk drive.
If you no longer have the cardboard insert, use an empty floppy disk.
4. For safety reasons all cables should be disconnected and each unit of equipment
should be transported separately.
5. Transport the system unit in its original packaging only and make sure that it
is handled carefully. The hard disk drive may be damaged if the system unit is
subjected to shock or impact.
6. As the system unit is heavy, it should be packed, transported and unpacked by two
persons.
Transporting monitors
Transport monitors only in their original packaging. This will minimize the danger of
implosion from careless handling.
