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 your data from the hard disks to tape or floppy disks before moving the computer. (See the Hard disk section of the chapter ‘System drives’).

Do not try to move the computer while it is plugged into the AC power supply or with any other cables, network, printer etc., 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.

Do not leave floppy disks or CDs in the drives while moving the system as irreparable damage could occur to either drives or disks.

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

Warning

If you intend to use the computer in another country, read the information in the Power Connection Guide before doing anything else.
