■
Avoid using any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzene,
which may damage the finish.
If any object or liquid falls into the drive, immediately unplug the
computer and have it checked by an authorized HP service provider.
Follow these suggestions when preparing to ship the computer:
1. Back up the hard drive files on PD discs, tape cartridges, CDs,
or diskettes. Be sure that the backup media is not exposed to
electrical or magnetic impulses while stored or in transit.
The hard drive locks automatically when the system power is
turned off.
2. Remove and store any program diskettes from the diskette drives.
3. Insert a blank diskette into the diskette drive to protect the drive
while in transit. Do not use a diskette on which you have stored or
plan to store data.
4. Turn off the computer and external devices.
5. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, then from
the computer.
6. Disconnect the system components and external devices from
their power sources, then from the computer.
Ensure that all boards are seated properly and secured in the board
slots before shipping the computer.
7. Pack the system components and external devices in their original
packing boxes or similar packaging with sufficient packing
material to protect them.
