Shipping Preparation
Follow these suggestions when preparing to ship your computer:
1. Back up the hard drive files onto PD discs, tape cartridges, or
diskettes. Be sure that the backup media is not exposed to
electrical or magnetic impulses while stored or in transit.
The hard drive locks automatically when the system power is
turned off.
2. Remove and store any program diskettes from the diskette
drives.
3. Insert a blank diskette into the diskette drive to protect the drive
while in transit. Do not use a diskette on which you have stored
or plan to store data.
4. Turn off the computer and external devices.
5. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, then from
the computer.
6. Disconnect the system components and external devices from
their power sources, then from the computer.
Ensure that all boards are seated properly and secured in the board
slots before shipping the computer.
Pack the system components and external devices in their original
packing boxes or similar packaging with sufficient packing material
to protect them.
