CAUTION:
Use safe practices when lifting.
1. Back up all files and data from the hard disk.
Operating systems can vary in the way they perform backup procedures. Refer
to your operating system documentation for information about software
backup.
2. Remove all media (diskettes, CDs, tapes, and so on) from the drives.
3. Turn off the computer and all attached devices. Your hard disk drive
automatically parks the read/write heads in a nondata area. This process
prevents damage to the hard disk.
4. Unplug the power cords from electrical outlets.
5. Note where you have attached your cables to the rear of the computer; then,
remove them.
6. If you saved the original shipping cartons and packing materials, use them to
pack the units. If you are using different cartons, cushion the units to avoid
damage.
