Other precautions

On Handling the Hard Disk

The hard disk has a high storage density and reads or writes data in a short time. On the other hand, it may be easily damaged by mechanical vibration, shock or dust. Keep the hard disk away from magnets.

Although the hard disk has the safety device in itself to prevent losing data due to mechanical vibration, shock or dust, you should be careful when handling your computer. To avoid damaging data:

￿

Do not give a shock to your computer.

Do not place your computer in a location subject to mechanical vibration or in

unstable situation.

Do not move your computer while the power is on.

Do not turn off the power or restart the computer while reading or writing data.

Do not use your computer in a place subject to extreme change of temperature.

If the hard disk is damaged, the data cannot be restored.

Back up data

As you may lose important data once your computer is damaged, you should back up your data regularly.

Restore the original application programs from the Product Recovery CD-ROM. See the Windows® help for more information on back-up data.
