Caring for your computer v Do not drop, bump, scratch, twist, hit, vibrate, push, or place heavy objects on your computer, display, or external devices. v Your computer display is designed to be opened and used at an angle slightly greater than 90 degrees. Do not open the display beyond 135 degrees, as this might damage the computer hinge. Carry your computer properly v Before moving your computer, be sure to remove any media, turn off attached devices, and disconnect cords and cables. v Be sure your computer is in standby or hibernation mode, or turned off, before moving it. This will prevent damage to the hard disk drive and data loss. v When picking up your open computer, hold it by the bottom. Do not pick up or hold your computer by the display. v Use a quality carrying case that provides adequate cushion and protection. Do not pack your computer in a tightly packed suitcase or bag. Handle storage media and drives properly v If your computer comes with an optical drive such as CD, DVD, or CD-RW/DVD drive, do not touch the surface of a disc or the lens on the tray. v Wait until you hear the CD or DVD click into the center pivot of an optical drive such as CD, DVD, or CD-RW/DVD drive before closing the tray. v When installing your hard disk, diskette, CD, DVD, or CD-RW/DVD drive, follow the instructions shipped with your hardware, and apply pressure only where needed on the device. Take care in setting passwords v Remember your passwords. If you forget a supervisor or hard disk password, Lenovo authorized service provider will not reset it, and you might have to replace your system board or hard disk drive. Other important tips v Your computer modem might use only an analog telephone network, or public-switched telephone network (PSTN). Do not connect the modem to a PBX (private branch exchange) or any other digital telephone extension line because this could damage your modem. Analog phone lines are often used in homes, while digital phone lines are often used in hotels or office buildings. If you are not sure which kind of phone line you are using, contact your telephone company. v Your computer might have both an Ethernet connector and a modem connector. If so, be sure to connect your communication cable to the correct one, so your connector is not damaged. 4 Lenovo 3000 V100 Service and Troubleshooting Guide
