Moving the computer

precautions taken when moving the computer will help ensure trouble-free 
operation.

Before moving the computer, it recommends changing the function of 
TOSHIBA HDD Protection. Refer to the section, 

, in this chapter.

Make sure all disk activity has ended before moving the computer. 
Check the HDD indicator on the computer.

If a CD/DVD is in the drives, remove it. Also make sure the disc tray is 
securely closed.

■

Turn off (shut down) the computer.

Close the LCD display panel. Do not pick up the computer by its display 
panel.

power cable and wait until the PC cools down. Failure to follow this 
instruction could result in minor injury.

button has a lock, set it to the lock position. Also be careful not to 
subject the computer to impact. Failure to follow this instruction could

When carrying your computer, be sure to hold it securely so that it does

Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection

This computer has a function for reducing the risk of damage on the hard 
disk drive.

Using an acceleration sensor built into the computer, TOSHIBA HDD 
Protection detects vibration shocks and similar signs of movement of the 
computer, and automatically moves the Hard Disk Drive head to a safe 
position to reduce the risk of damage that could be caused by head-to-disk 
contact.
