Moving your computer Take the following precautions before moving your computer. 1. Back up all files and data from the hard disk. Operating systems can vary in the way they perform backup procedures. Refer to your operating system documentation for information about software backup. 2. Remove all media (diskettes, compact discs, tapes, and so on) from the drives. 3. Turn off the computer and all attached devices. Your hard disk drive automatically parks the read/write heads in a nondata area. This process prevents damage to the hard disk. 4. Unplug the power cords from electrical outlets. 5. Note where you have attached your cables to the rear of the computer; then remove them. 6. If you saved the original shipping cartons and packing materials, use them to pack the units. If you are using different cartons, cushion the computer components to avoid damage. 28 User Guide
