Operating Basics

Moving the computer

The computer is designed for rugged durability. However, a few simple precautions taken when moving the computer will help ensure trouble-free operation.

■Before moving the computer, it recommends changing the function of HDD Protection. Refer to the section, Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection, in this chapter.

■Make sure all disk activity has ended before moving the computer. Check the HDD indicator on the computer.

■If a CD/DVD is in the drives, remove it. Also make sure the disc tray is securely closed.

■Turn off the power to the computer.

■Disconnect the AC adaptor and all peripherals before moving the computer.

■Close the LCD display panel. Do not pick up the computer by its display panel.

■Before carrying your computer, shut down the computer, disconnect the power cable and wait until the PC cools down. Failure to follow this instruction could result in minor injury.

■Always turn off the power when you move the computer. If the power button has a lock, set it to the lock position. Also be careful not to subject the computer to impact. Failure to follow this instruction could result in damage to computer, computer failure or loss of data.

■Never transport your computer with PC cards installed. This could cause damage to your computer and/or PC card, resulting in product failure.

■Use the carrying case when transporting the computer.

■When carrying your computer, be sure to hold it securely so that it does not fall or hit anything.

■Do not carry your computer by holding protruded portions.

Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection

This computer has a function for reducing the risk of damage on hard disk drive.

Using the acceleration sensor built in the computer, HDD Protection detects vibration, shocks, and those signs in the computer, and automatically moves the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) head to the safe position to reduce the risk of damage that could be caused to the disk by head-to-disk contact.

■This function does not guarantee that the hard disk drive will not be damaged.

■A secondary hard disk drive fitted to the computer is not supported by the HDD protection function.
