Drive Care

ÄCAUTION: To prevent damage to the notebook or a drive and loss of work:

■Handle a drive carefully. Do not drop it.

■Avoid exposing a hard drive to devices with magnetic fields. Products with magnetic fields include video and audio tape erasure products, monitors, and speakers. Security devices with magnetic fields include airport walk-through devices and security wands. The airport security devices that check carry-on luggage, usually while it is placed on a conveyor belt, use x-rays instead of magnetism and will not damage a hard drive.

■Do not spray a drive with cleaning fluids.

■Avoid exposing a drive to liquids or temperature extremes.

■If you mail a drive, ship it in packaging that protects it from shock, vibration, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. Label the package “FRAGILE.”

ÄCAUTION: To reduce the risk of data loss, initiate standby before you move the notebook from one location to another. To initiate standby, press the fn+f5 hotkey or:

■In Windows XP Home, select Start > Turn Off Computer >

Standby By.

■In Windows XP Professional, select Start > Turn Off Computer >

Stand by > OK.

For more information about standby, refer to “Standby and Hibernation” in Chapter 2, “Power.”
