Operating Basics Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection This computer has a function for reducing the risk of damage on hard disk drive. (Depending on the model you purchased.) Using the acceleration sensor built in the computer, HDD Protection detects vibration, shocks, and those signs in the computer, and automatically moves the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) head to the safe position to reduce the risk of damage that could be caused to the disk by head-to-disk contact. ■ This function does not guarantee that the hard disk drive will not be damaged. ■ A secondary hard disk drive fitted to the computer is not supported by the HDD protection function. When vibration is detected, the following message is displayed, and the icon in the notification area of the taskbar is changed to the protection state. This message is displayed until the OK button is pressed or 30 seconds pass. When vibration subsides, the icon returns to the normal state.
