Taking the Computer Home

After disconnecting the computer from your
desktop, follow these steps to prepare the
computer for the trip home.
1. Remove all media from the drive in the
modular bay. 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.
Unless you already have these items at home,
bring the following items with you.
• AC adapter
• Modular bay accessories that you might
need
• The printed user's manual
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.
