Moving the computer
The computer is designed for rugged durability. However, a few simple
precautions taken when moving the computer will help assure trouble-
free operation.
Make sure all disk activity has ended before moving the computer.
Check the
Built-in HDD
and
Diskette/CD-ROM drive
indicators on
the computer.
If a diskette is in the diskette drive, remove it.
If a CD/DVD-ROM is in the CD/DVD-ROM drive, remove it. Also make
sure the CD/DVD-ROM drawer is securely closed.
Turn off the power to the computer.
Disconnect the AC adaptor and all peripherals before moving the
computer.
Close the display. Do not pick up the computer by its display panel or
back (where the interface ports are located).
Close all port covers.
Set the power button lock to the lock position.
Use a carrying case when transporting the computer.

fan is turned on or the processing speed is lowered. You can select
whether to control the CPU temperature by turning on the fan first, then if
necessary, lowering the CPU speed. Or, by lowering the CPU speed first,
then if necessary, turning on the fan. You can set the cooling priority in
the

setting, the system automatically shuts down to prevent damage. Data
in memory will be lost.
