On handling the hard disk
The hard disk 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 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:
❑ Do not subject your computer to sudden movements.
❑ Keep the 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 the computer while reading or writing data to disk.
