Cleaning Your Keyboard

Your keyboard keys may get dirty with use. Clean them with a clean cloth that has been
lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution.

Moving Your System

Perform the following steps before shipping or moving the system:
1. Back up all files stored on the hard disk drive.
2. Turn off the external peripherals, the system, and the monitor.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and from the back of the system unit.
4. Disconnect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and any other cables from the back of the
system unit.
5. Package the system as described in the section on Packing Your System later in this
appendix.
________________________WARNING __________________________
When packing and moving system components, be aware that some
components (such as the system unit or monitor) may be too heavy for you
to safely lift alone. If you are doubtful about whether you can lift these items
alone, please get assistance.

Packing Your System

If you are moving the system a short distance (for example, from one room to another in
the same building), you do not have to pack it. However, if you are shipping the system or
moving it by vehicle, pack it in the original packing material and containers. If you did not
save the boxes and packing material, use a sturdy carton and cushion the computer well to
avoid damage.

Installing Your System at a New Location

After moving the system to a new location, unpack and install it following the installation
instructions on the installation information.
