Transporting the computer

Use common sense when handling the computer; hard disks in particular can be damaged if the computer is dropped or handled roughly. As a precaution, back up (copy) the contents of the hard disks to tape or diskettes before moving the computer.

Don’t try to move the computer while it is plugged into the AC power supply or with any other cables, including network cables, still attached.

When lifting and carrying the computer, grip the metal underside of the system unit. Do not lift the unit by the plastic side trims or the front bezel. Never attempt to use the door as a carrying handle. Never attempt to lift the system unit with a monitor on top.

If you need to transport the computer any great distance, use the original packing materials.

If you intend to use the computer in another country, see the next section for some important advice.

Using the computer in another country

The computer arrives ready to work with the commercial AC power supply available in the country in which it is first sold.

If you plan to use the computer in another country, you should first check the following facts about your destination:

♦The voltage and frequency of the commercial AC power supply.

♦The type of plug required for the AC power outlets.
