Moving or Shipping Your System

Use these steps to prepare your system for moving or shipping.

1.Back up the files on the hard drive to diskettes, Zip disks, tape cartridges, or other backup devices.

Take precautions for storing and transporting Zip disks, diskettes, or tape cartridges so that they are not exposed to magnetic fields or electrical impulses.

2.Remove any diskette from the diskette drive. If you have a CD in the CD-ROM drive, remove the CD.

3.Turn off the system unit and any external options connected to it.

4.Unplug the system unit power cable from the wall outlet or surge suppressor, then from the unit itself.

5.Unplug any external options from the wall outlets or surge suppressor, then disconnect them from the system unit.

6.Pack the system components in the original shipping materials and cartons. If these are not available, be sure to use adequate packing materials to protect the components.
