Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection
(preinstalled with some models)
This computer has a function for reducing the risk of damage on hard disk
drive.
Using the acceleration sensor built in the computer, the HDD Protection
function detects vibration, shocks and other such occurrences 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.
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.
