Moving your server
Important
Do not move your server while it is on.
Always turn
the server off before you move it.
Normal shipping and handling can cause loss of data from
a hard disk.
If your server has a hard disk drive, take the
following precautions:
1.
Back up all files and data from the hard disk.
Operating systems can vary in the way they perform
backup procedures.
Some operating systems save
only data files, while others make copies of
application program files
and
data files.
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.

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 server; then remove them.
±
Caution

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 units to avoid any
damage.
