Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection

There is a function for reducing the risk of damage on HDD in this computer.
Using the acceleration sensor built in the computer, HDD Protection detects
vibration, shocks and similar signs in the computer, and automatically
moves the HDD head to a safe position in order to reduce the risk of damage
that could be caused by a head-to-disk contact.
■
This function does not guarantee that the HDD will not be damaged.
■
The secondary hard disk drive is not supported by the HDD protection
function.
When vibration is detected, the following message is displayed, and the icon
in the notification area of the taskbar is changed to the protection state. This
message is displayed until the OK button is pressed or 30 seconds pass.
