Moving The Computer; Using The Hard Disk Drive (Hdd) Protection - Toshiba Satellite L635 Series User Manual

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/eSATA indicator and external device indicator
are off.
■
If a CD/DVD/BD is in the drive, remove it. Also make sure the drawer is
securely closed.
■
Turn off the power to the computer.
■
Disconnect the AC adapter 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.

Using The Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection

This computer has a function for reducing the risk of damage on the hard
disk drive.
Using an acceleration sensor built into the computer, TOSHIBA HDD
Protection detects vibration shocks and similar signs of movement of the
computer, and automatically moves the Hard Disk Drive head to a safe
position to reduce the risk of damage that could be caused by head-to-disk
contact.
■
The TOSHIBA HDD Protection function does not guarantee that the
hard disk drive will not be damaged.
■
During audio/video playback, when the computer detects a shock or
vibration and the hard disk drive's head is parked, the playback might
be temporarily interrupted.
■
TOSHIBA HDD Protection cannot be used in models that are equipped
with SSD.
When vibration is detected, a message will be displayed on the screen, and
the icon in the Taskbar notification area will changed to the protection state.
This message is displayed until the OK button is pressed or 30 seconds
pass. When vibration subsides, the icon returns to the normal state.
