Precautions

On Handling the Hard Disk

The hard disk drive has a high storage density and reads or writes data in a short time. However, it can be easily damaged
by mechanical vibration, shock, or dust.

Although the hard disk drive has the internal safety device to prevent losing data due to mechanical vibration, shock or dust,
you should be careful when handling your computer.
❑ To avoid damaging your hard disk drive, observe the following:

❑ Do not subject your computer to sudden movements.
❑ Keep your computer away from magnets.
❑ Do not place your computer in a location subject to mechanical vibration or in an unstable position.
❑ Do not move your computer while the power is on.
❑ Do not turn off the power or restart your computer while reading or writing data to the hard disk drive.
❑ Do not use your computer in a place subject to extreme changes in temperature.

If the hard disk drive is damaged, the data cannot be restored.

❑ Your hard disk drive may start and stop spinning frequently and make a humming noise. However, this is normal and does

not indicate a malfunction.
