Taking the Computer Home

Taking the Computer Home

Preparing the Computer

After disconnecting the computer from your desktop, follow
these steps to prepare the computer for the trip home.
1. Remove all media from the drives. Failure to remove the
media can damage the drive head.
2. Pack the computer in a protective case that can prevent
the computer from sliding around and cushion it if it
should fall.
Caution: Avoid packing items next to the top cover of
the computer. Pressure against the top cover can
damage the screen

What To Bring with You

Unless you already have some items at home, bring the
following items with you:
AC adapter and power cord
The printed user's manual
Media bay modules (external floppy and CD-ROM drive)

Special Considerations

Follow these guidelines to protect your computer while
traveling to and from work:
Minimize the effect of temperature changes by keeping
the computer with you.
If you need to stop for an extended period of time and
cannot bring the computer with you, leave the computer
in the trunk of the car to avoid exposing the computer to
excessive heat.
