Moving the computer
The computer is designed for rugged durability. However, a few simple
precautions taken when moving the computer will help assure trouble-free
operation.


Make sure all disk activity has ended before moving the computer.
Check the Built-in HDD and Diskette/DVD-ROM drive indicators on
the computer.


If a diskette is in the diskette drive, remove it.


If a CD/DVD-ROM is in the DVD-ROM drive, remove it. Also make sure
the DVD-ROM drawer is securely closed.


Turn off the power to the computer.


Disconnect the AC adaptor and all peripherals before moving the
computer.


Close the display. Do not pick up the computer by its display panel or
back (where the interface ports are located).


Close all port covers.


Set the power button lock to the lock position.


Use a carrying case when transporting the computer.
Heat dispersal
To protect from overheating, the CPU has an internal temperature sensor. If
the computer’s internal temperature rises to a certain level, the cooling fan is
turned on or the processing speed is lowered. You can select whether to
control the CPU temperature by turning on the fan first, then if necessary,
lowering the CPU speed. Or, by lowering the CPU speed first, then if
necessary, turning on the fan. You can set the cooling priority in the Fan item
of the Power Save Mode window in Power Saver.
If the CPU temperature reaches an unacceptably high level with either
setting, the system automatically shuts down to prevent damage. Data in
memory will be lost.
