The case, although strong, is not made to support extra weight. • When transporting your computer, we recommend that you put it in the original packaging materials. • Keep your computer away from magnetic fields. Magnetic fields can erase data on hard drives. • Never turn off your computer when the drive indicator is on because data on the hard drive could be lost or corrupted. 54
