CAUTION Do not use benzene, thinner, or rubbing alcohol. Doing so may adversely affect the surface, e.g., discoloration. In addition, do not use commercially-available household cleaners and cosmetics, as they may contain components harmful to the surface. Do not directly add or spray water or detergent. If liquid enters the inside of the computer, it may cause it to work improperly or be damaged. Saving Data on the Hard Disk Do not expose your computer to shock. Use care when handling your computer, shock may damage your hard disk or make your software applications and data unusable. Do not power off your computer while software applications are running or hard disk drive indicator ( ) is on. Properly shut Windows down to avoid problems. Save all valuable data to disks. Backing up data to disks will limit damage should trouble occur to your computer or should you inadvertently change or erase data. Use the security function for all important data. ( "Security Measures" and "SD Memory Card Security Function") Hard Disk Lock When the Hard Disk Lock is set to [Enable], it is impossible to read/write data from/to the hard disk when the hard disk is installed in a different computer, since a password is also set for the hard disk. When the hard disk is returned to the original computer, you can read/write data as before. In this case, however, make the settings in the Setup Utility exactly the same as they were before the hard disk was removed. (Note that this Hard Disk Lock does not guarantee the com- plete protection of data. "Security Measures") Operation When Using Peripheral Devices Pay strict attention to the following points to avoid damage to the computer, peripheral devices, cables, etc. Also, in addition to following this manual and the Reference Manual, carefully read the instruction manuals for the peripheral devices being used. Use only peripheral devices that conform to the computer's specifications. Connect the devices properly, paying close attention to the condition and position of the connectors. If a connection cannot be made easily, do not apply undue force; check once more to confirm the condition and position of the connector (alignment of pins, etc.). If the connector has holding screws, fasten the screws firmly. Do not carry the computer with cables attached, and do not pull on the cables forcefully. When Disposing of or Transferring Ownership of This Device When disposing of or transferring ownership of this device, erase all data on the hard disk in order to prevent the theft of hard disk data. Even if you delete data or initialize the hard disk through normal Windows commands, data can still be read using special software. In order to erase all data, either have the data erased by a specialist (at a charge) or use the hard disk data erase utility (included) ( page 38). (Note that this hard disk data erase utility does not guarantee that data will be completely erased.) Also, note that if you transfer ownership of this device without deleting commercial software that you have installed to the hard disk, you may be in violation of the licensing agreement for that software. When Changing Hard Disk Partitions When using the hard disk backup function, divide into the partition when the backup area is created ( page 34). If you divide up the hard disk before creating a backup area, the backup area cannot be created. 21
