Operating Basics Moving the computer The computer is designed for rugged durability. However, a few simple precautions taken when moving the computer will help ensure trouble-free operation. ■ Make sure all disk activity has ended before moving the computer. Check the Built-in Hard Disk Drive and optical disc drive indicators on the computer. ■ If a disk is in the disk drive, remove it. ■ If a disc is in the optical disc drive, remove it. Also make sure the optical disc drive drawer is securely closed. ■ Turn off the power to the computer. ■ Disconnect all peripherals before moving the computer. ■ Close the display. Do not pick up the computer by its display panel or back (where the interface ports are located). ■ Close all port covers. ■ Disconnect the AC adapter if it is connected. ■ Use the carrying case when transporting the computer.
