The Hard Disk
‰
Never subject the computer to strong vibration or sudden shocks, especially during
transportation.
‰
You can move your computer with the power on; however, it is a good idea to put the
computer in Standby mode.
‰
Always keep backup floppies of all programs and data stored on your hard disk, just in
case of a hard disk failure. The time spent backing up your data is always worthwhile.
Caution: You should back up your hard disk to floppies on a regular basis to protect against loss of data
because of a hard disk failure. Follow the MS-DOS backup procedure in your MS-DOS manual or use a
backup procedure provided by your application program. If your hard disk fails, TI service personnel may or
may not be able to save some or most of the contents of your hard disk if replacement Is required.

When moving your computer to a location where the temperature is more than 18
o
F (10
o
C different
from the present location, do the move in two stages: first leave the computer in a place where the
temperature is somewhere between that of the new location and the old location for about 1 hour.
Then move the computer to the new location. This ensures that the hard disk mechanisms have time
to adjust to the new environment and prevents moisture from condensing on the vital parts.
