Setting Up the System 2-13
Moving or Shipping Your System
Use these steps to prepare your system for moving or
shipping:
1.
Back up the files on the hard drive to diskettes, Zip disks,
or tape cartridges.
Be sure to take precautions for storing and transporting
Zip disks, diskettes, or tape cartridges so that they are not
exposed to magnetic fields or electrical impulses.
2.
Remove any diskette from the diskette drive. If you have
a CD in the CD-ROM drive, remove the CD.
3.
Turn off the system unit and any external options
connected to it.
4.
Unplug the system unit power cable from the wall outlet
or surge suppressor, then from the unit itself.
5.
Unplug any external options from the wall outlets or
surge suppressor, then disconnect them from the system
unit.
6.
Pack the system components in the original shipping
materials and cartons. If these are not available, be sure to
use adequate packing materials to protect the components.
See “Cable Connections” for information on setting up your
workstation.
