Operating Basics
Moving the computer
While the computer is designed for rugged durability you should exercise a
few simple precautions when moving it in order to help ensure trouble-free
operation.
■ Make sure all disk activity has ended before moving the computer -
check that the HDD and other indicators on the front of the computer
are off.
■ Turn off (shut down) the computer.
■ Disconnect the AC adaptor and all peripherals before moving the
computer.
■ Close the display panel.
■ Do not pick up the computer by its display panel.
■ Before carrying your computer, shut it down, disconnect the AC adaptor
and allow it to cool down - a failure to follow this instruction may result in
minor heat injury.
■ Be careful not to subject the computer to impact or shock - a failure to
follow this instruction could result in damage the computer, computer
failure or loss of data.
■ Always use a suitable carry case when transporting the computer.
■ When carrying your computer, be sure to hold it securely so that it does
not fall or hit anything.
■ Do not carry your computer by holding any of its protruding elements.
Heat dispersal
To protect from overheating, the processor 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 processor temperature by turning on the fan first,
then if necessary, lowering the processor speed. Or, by lowering the
processor speed first, then if necessary, turning on the fan.
When the processor temperature falls to a normal range, the fan is turned
off and the processor operation returns to standard speed.
If the processor temperature reaches an unacceptably high level with
either setting, the system automatically shuts down to prevent damage.
