Operation z Do not carry the computer with cables attached, and do not pull on the cables forcefully. Saving Data on the Hard Disk Hard Disk Lock z 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. z Do not power down your computer while software applications are running or hard disk drive indicator is on. Properly shut Windows down to avoid problems. z 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. z Use the security function for all important data. (⇒ Reference Manual "Security Measures") 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. 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 complete protection of data.) (⇒ Reference Manual "Security Measures") Saving Data on Floppy Disks z Do not power down your computer or press the floppy disk drive eject button while the MP indicator is on. Doing so may damage the data on the floppy disk and render the floppy disk useless. z Use care when handling floppy disks. To protect the data on your floppy disks or to prevent a floppy disk from becoming stuck in your computer, avoid the following: • Sliding the shutter on the floppy disk manually. • Exposing the floppy disk to a magnetic field. • Storing the floppy disk in locations prone to high temperatures, low pitched noise, dampness, or dust. • Applying more than one label on the floppy disk. z Confirm the contents of a floppy disk before formatting it. Confirm that no important data is on the floppy disk, because all data on the floppy disk will be erased. z Use the write-protect tab (A). This is a must for preserving important data. This prevents your data from being erased or overwritten. When Disposing of or Transferring Ownership of This Device z 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) ( Î page 31). (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. 21
