Preparing the computer
After disconnecting the computer from your desktop, follow these
steps to prepare the computer for the trip home:
1
Remove all media from the drives. Failure to remove the media

2
Pack the computer in a protective case that can prevent the
computer from sliding around and cushion it if it should fall.
Caution
: Avoid packing items next to the top cover of the
computer. Pressure against the top cover could damage the
screen.
What to bring with you
Unless you already have some items at home, bring the following items
with you:
•
AC adapter and power cord
•
The printed user’s manual
Special considerations
Follow these guidelines to protect your computer while traveling to
and from work:
•
Minimize the effect of temperature changes by keeping the
computer with you.
•
If you need to stop for an extended period of time and cannot
bring the computer with you, leave the computer in the trunk of
the car to avoid exposing the computer to excessive heat.
•
Changes in temperature and humidity can cause condensation.
Allow the computer to return to room temperature, and inspect
the screen for condensation before turning on the computer. If
the temperature change is greater than 18°F (10°C), allow the
