Operating Basics
Disconnecting LAN cable
To disconnect the LAN cable, follow the steps below.
1. Pinch the lever on the connector in the computer’s LAN jack and pull
out the connector.
2. Disconnect the cable from the LAN hub in the same manner. Check
with your LAN administrator before disconnecting from the hub.
Cleaning the computer
To help ensure long, trouble-free operation, keep the computer free of dust
and use care with liquids around the computer.
Be careful not to spill liquids into the computer. If the computer does get
wet, turn the power off immediately and let the computer dry completely
before you turn it on again.
Clean the computer using a slightly damp (with water) cloth. You can
use glass cleaner on the display. Spray a small amount of cleaner on a
soft, clean cloth and wipe the screen gently with the cloth.
Moving the computer
The computer is designed for rugged durability. However, a few simple
precautions taken when moving the computer will help ensure trouble-free
operation.
Make sure all disk activities are terminated before moving the computer.
Check if the HDD/ODD indicator and external device indicator are off.
If a CD/DVD/HD DVD is in the drive, remove it. Also make sure the
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.
Close all port covers.
Use the carrying 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 protruded portions.
Make sure the LAN active indicator (orange LED) is out before you
disconnect the computer from the LAN.
Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer or let liquid run into any
part of it. Never use harsh or caustic chemical products to clean the
computer.
