Moving your computer

Take the following precautions before moving your computer.

1.Remove all media (diskettes, compact discs, tapes, and so on) from the drives.

2.Turn off the computer and all attached devices. Your hard disk drive automatically parks the read/write heads to prevent damage to the hard disk.

3.Unplug the power cords from electrical outlets.

4.Disconnect communication cables, such as modem or network cables, from the phone line or network first, and then disconnect the other ends of cables from the computer.

5.Disconnect all cables connecting external devices such as a keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner, and joystick.

6.If you are moving your computer other than a short distance and you saved the original shipping cartons and packing materials, use them to pack the units. If you are using different cartons, cushion the units to avoid damage.
