Properly shut Windows* down to avoid problems ([Start] - [Turn Off Computer]).

Backing up data to disks will limit damage should trouble occur to your computer or

should you inadvertently change or erase data.

* This computer uses Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional.

Hard Disk Lock

When the Hard Disk Lock is set to [Enable], it is impossible to read/write data from/to the hard disk when the hard disk is installed in a different computer, since a password is also set for the hard disk. When the hard disk is returned to the original computer, you can read/ write data as before. In this case, however, make the settings in the Setup Utility exactly the same as they were before the hard disk was removed. (Note that this Hard Disk Lock

does not guarantee the complete protection of data.) ( “Security Measures”)

Do not power down your computer or press the floppy disk drive eject button while the floppy disk drive indicator is on.

Doing so may damage the data on the floppy disk and render the floppy disk useless.

Use care when handling floppy disks.

To protect the data on your floppy disks or to prevent a floppy disk from becoming stuck in your computer, avoid the following:

•Sliding the shutter on the floppy disk manually.

•Exposing the floppy disk to a magnetic field.

•Storing the floppy disk in locations prone to high temperatures, low pitched noise, dampness, or dust.

•Applying more than one label on the floppy disk.

Confirm the contents of a floppy disk before formatting it.

Confirm that no important data is on the floppy disk, because all data on the floppy disk

will be erased.
Use the write-protect tab.	Write-protect Tab
This is a must for preserving
important data.	Write Enable	Write Disable
