Keep away from magnets.

Do not place your computer in a location subject to mechanical vibration or in unstable situation.

Do not move your computer while the power is on.

Do not turn off the power or restart the computer while reading or writing data.

Do not use your computer in a place subject to extreme change of temperature.

If the hard disk is damaged, the data cannot be restored.
