Protecting the Hard Disk Drive

Your hard disk drive is designed for travel and

lots of use. Follow these precautions, however,

to protect your data and prolong hard disk

life.

Never turn off or reset the computer when
it is copying data to or from the hard disk

drive (the indicator light is on).

Never remove the hard disk drive when

the computer is on.

After turning the power off, wait

20 seconds before moving the computer.

This allows the disks in the drive to stop

spinning and the read/write heads to lock

in place.

Although the hard disk drive is very
reliable, be sure to back up your files
regularly.
